The larger issues are kind of complex, and discussing them would get in the way of fixing the short-term bug. I'll just say that if you really want to depend on something in a production environment, then you either want to be paying someone for dependable support, have the ability to fix just about anything yourself, or be able to live without it for a while. This isn't LinuxCNC-specific, or really specific to any technology at all.
I don't know of anyone offering this level of support for LinuxCNC today, but I've never really looked.

I installed it on another computer a few weeks ago and there was no problem.
I think Linuxcnc's ethercat support can be turned off by someone who provides this support whenever they want.
I think Linuxcnc is not suitable for professional use because an installation that could be done last week cannot be done this week.
For example, let's imagine a person who is building a machine with Linux, everything is finished and it is at the operating stage. There is an ethercat problem right now and it can't be solved. How can it wait for it to be fixed? It can't wait, that's why it doesn't use Linuxcnc, it uses professional devices. Yes, Linuxcnc may be free, but it doesn't matter if it is free if it doesn't work when it should.
Well look at what happened to all those pros using Windows a couple of weeks ago.
I'm sorry but this kind of consumer attitude is not helpful, if you need 100% reliability and availability then you may want to consider investing the 20 or 30 grand in a professional solution.
You may not be aware of this but pretty much everything here is the result of donated time. Made available to the public to enable people like you build things they could not otherwise dream of making, this forum included. Where is your contribution to warrant such a fit?

People like you just make me sad I'm just glad there are not too many like you around here.I buy and use professional devices, I pay money for these devices. I only shared this to prevent anyone from getting hurt. Because I can't do something I did a week ago a week later. For example, who can guess that something that worked a week ago won't work a week later. And since I worked it before, I could start a new job thinking it would work again and I could be disappointed. My aim is to prevent others from falling into these situations. .

Exactly and you also get free support 24/7. Then why don't you use those?I think you are far from professional CNCs. Devices with inputs and outputs that can control 256 axes are 1000 euros.
Also, a person who needs help is a novice in these matters, how can he contribute? Did you start this job by helping directly? Did you not need help at all in the beginning? I have been working on it for a month, I opened a few issues in just a few days, and I only got a half-answer on 1 issue.
I was actually the one that gave you that 'half-answer' and I just gave you another one in the other thread.
And let me give you a bit more free advice here:
If you get something for free and need help from people who also help you for free then the least those people deserve is some respect.
