I have not. I really like the speed of EtherCAT with Beckhoff RIO. We have a system running 50 microsecond scan times. Very cool!

Right now I am just trying to find the protocol spec for the free tag names for Twincat 2 - ADS/AMS. I found the standard packet definition for memory locations but can't seem to locate how the tag names are specified. I've seen it somewhere on the internet, but can't find it on Beckhoff's site.
