Additional Information
Under certain circumstances you might encounter strange visual behaviour if you choose to install NI-EtherCAT to an unsupported modules.
A few scenarios that you might encounter:
- Under safe-mode you might be able to set your Ethernet port to EtherCAT.
- Under runtime mode your secondary Ethernet port disappears.
- Under runtime, if you connect your PXIe/cRIO to a monitor, it will list NI-EtherCAT as opearion mode for the secondary Ethernet port.
While these scenarios, could indicate that the controller supports NI-EtherCAT, they actually do not. We can confirm that these are just visual bugs.
