Hi, for a research project I would love to find a way of running an EtherCAT Slave where the Cifx0 Interface is detected (like in the Ethernet-Lan package). With an detected interface, it's possible to capture the communication of a running PLC. The goal is to analyse the traffic and provide it to an OPC server, for IoT applications.
I have already tried to combine the Programming-examples packgage with the Ethernet-Lan package, because the first one provides me an EtherCAT slave, and the second one creates the cifx0 interface with its cifx0deamon skript. The problem that occured was that the cifx0deamon skript did not work with the EtherCAT firmware package installed.
A different approach was combining the Codesys package with the Ethernet-Lan package, with the result of having a capturable interface, but CODESYS does not support creating a EtherCAT slave. I was able to capture the PLC communication with that setup, using wireshark.
Do you think, there is a possible way to create an EtherCAT slave that can capture the network traffic of the cifx0 interface in this way?
Thank you an best regards
Philipp
