General Questions about using ethercat

That worked but now I get a new error:

./ethercat.hal:50: Pin 'lcec.0.0.cia-statusword' does not exist

this occurs at the following line:

net x-statusword lcec.0.0.cia-statusword => cia402.0.statusword

I clearly have an error here but I don't know where to look to correct the problem

Please check your ethercat.xml file to see if it contains this pin. Similar to...... <pdoEntry idx="6040" subIdx="00" bitLen="16" halPin="cia-controlword" halType="u32"/>

A common error is to not have the right vid and pid in the ethercat-conf.xml file.
Double-check that the vendor id and product code from the output ofmatches the vid and pid fields in ethercat-conf.xml.
Check that for all slaves (0,1,2,etc)
If that didn't help please attach the ethercat-conf.xml file, the hal file and the output of "ethercat slaves -v"

In the file ethercat.hal I have:

net x-statusword lcec.0.0.cia-statusword => cia402.0.statusword

in the file ethercat-conf.xml I have:
<masters>
<master idx="0">
<slave idx="0" type="generic" vid="0x00000a79" pid="0x00002000" name="D1">
<!--OL3-E57H-->
<syncManager idx="0" dir="out">
<pdo idx="1a01">
<!--TxPDO 2-->
<pdoEntry idx="603f" subIdx="00" bitLen="16" halPin="errorcode" halType="BLANK"/>
<pdoEntry idx="6041" subIdx="00" bitLen="16" halPin="statusword" halType="BLANK"/>
<pdoEntry idx="6064" subIdx="00" bitLen="32" halPin="position-actual-value" halType="BLANK"/>
<pdoEntry idx="60fd" subIdx="00" bitLen="32" halPin="digital-inputs" halType="BLANK"/>
<pdoEntry idx="6061" subIdx="00" bitLen="8" halPin="modes-of-operation-display" halType="BLANK"/>
</pdo>
...

where am I going wrong?

I believe I have vid and pid fields correct, output from 'ethercat slaves -v' :

I think you need a dcconf item for every slave in the ethercat-cat.xml file.
I don't have exact syntax here on the phone, but search for dcconf and assignactivate 300 and there should be examples of that line.

Thanks, I added dcconf lines (see attachment) but still get the same pin does not exist error
