3rd party EtherCAT slave interoperability list

General information

  • This is a list about tested EtherCAT slave devices on a ctrlX CORE
  • The list is not complete and will be extended or corrected as new devices are tested.
  • It is just a snapshot, with different versions of the device firmware/hardware or controller firmware the behavior can be different.

Did you test other devices, which are not listed or some entry is wrong? Let us know, you can drop me a private message.

Interoperability status

LIMITED:  only limited usage possible, see commentOK:           no known problemsNO:           not functioning with ctrlX CORE EtherCAT Master

With Ethercat Master App V1.10.1 the AL status doesn't get reset upon switching from Init to OP. Bugfix should be available with Patch RM21.11A.

It is recommended to use EL6695 instead.
