Research direction
Start by locating the master mailbox handling and the ETG1004 extension unit_specification definitions. Check how supported EtherCAT units are represented, then verify that the master answers unit-description requests for indices 0x400 through 0x4FF. Done means all supported units are described through the mailbox response.
