Hi Damian,
Wholly agree on Nick's comment.
Even though the EtherCAT spec and marketing information mention a UDP-wrapped mode of operation, Etherlab does not support it and I am not aware of hardware that supports it either.
Our servers have a dedicated interface for the EtherCAT scanner and for star-like topologies of equipment we use banks of Beckhoff EL1122 modules.
In our case chains haven't grown beyond about 50 devices split over four couplers or so.
Regards,
Ronaldo
