-The ENI files can be optained from the manufacturer. +Items 2 and 3 can be covered with the software [[https://www.acontis.com/eng/products/ethercat/ec-engineer/index.php | EC-Engineer]]. This software already includes a software EtherCAT master. The EtherCAT network can then be attached to the Ethernet port of the PC and scanned by the software. Please make sure to run the program with administrator rights.
