cifx50 card PCI interrupts

Hello,

   Is the cifX50 capable of generating a PCI interrupt whenever it receives a PDO from the Ethercat network?  I am using the Ethercat Master stack in this case.

Hello Pete,
I dont really understand this question. Do you want the Hilscher EtherCAT MASTER to create an interrupt?
In this case the answer is NO. Interrupts are generated for the exchange of the cyclic process image which includes all slaves at once. If you do an CoE access to a slave via the acyclic packet interface, you get an answer as soon as the transfer is finished.

Hi Johnny,

  Yes. I was hoping the cifX Master could generate an PCI interrupt to my host Application, much like my comX Slave does with its Host application.
