General Troubleshooting Steps

In-Program Errors

Check the following

Solution Platform is set according to your target system
- If targeting an actual Beckhoff IPC, most likely "TwinCAT RT (x64)"
Scan (magic wand button) the EtherCAT Master device in the IO tree, and ensure that the configuration is identical
