    Hi, I need some help with extracting data from an external EtherCat Slave device mounted on the robot's flange. My setup:

    • KUKA LBR iiwa 7 R800
    • media flange Touch Electric
    • EtherCat Slave: EasyCat Arduino Shield (https://www.bausano.net/en/hardware/easycat.html)
    • WorkVisual 5.0

    My approach was to connect the EtherCat device with the X2 port on the flange directly and then configuring the connection in WorkVisual. I do not have much experience with WorkVisual, but I think did not make a mistake. However, after exporting the settings into my Workbench project, it did not work. There are some error messages that I do not really understand. I provide photos of them: https://imgur.com/a/HAFnwXZ

    My questions:

    • Did I do something wrong? One tutorial that I followed showed that in their WorkVisual software, an "EtherCat" option popped up under the "KUKA Extension Bus (SYS-X44)" option, however In my case, it did not.
    • Do I need to somehow utilize the X65 port on the robot controller? (It is labeled with EtherCat)
