LINUXCNC + DELTA DVP15MC via ETHERNET

Good morning,
Do you think that will be possible to use linuxcnc with a DELTA DVP15MC PLC hardware via an Ethernet communication?

Try to figure out this task, will be a challenger job for someone over there that want to help us?

If someone is interested to make us a quotation, please he can contact me via PM or at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Thank you in advance

I don't think it makes much sense to include communication with a separate motion controller into linuxcnc. Even then it would be a complicated task with (at least to me) no obvious benefit.

What should be possible is to talk to the Delta Servos directly via ethercat.

Thanks RMU for your feedback,

As I'm a bit confident with the flexibility of linuxcnc, for this reason, I'm a bit scared to start from zero with new solutions.
The goal is to use CANopen communication with 9 axes and linuxcnc, but I don't know which hardware and configuration are ready out of the box to manage 6-9 axis with linuxcnc and CANopen.
Do you have any advice to do it?

Thanks in advance

Linuxcnc doesn’t support canopen. You’re either looking at the wrong motion controller or you have to build a canopen stack yourselves,

AFAIK not possible out of the box.

Either get ethercat drives or get appropriate interface hardware for step/dir or the analog +-10V interface of the delta drives.

Let's say that we will change the version of the ASDA-A3 driver with the appropriate ethercat version.

At that point can I be able to talk directly from a PC to the drivers via ETHERcat?
If yes, there is a guide or a video somewhere for a newbie in ETHERCAT connections that we could be addressed?

Thanks in advance
Kindly regards

I can't help with ethercat, but there is this forum.linuxcnc.org/24-hal-components/22346-ethercat-hal-driver forum thread. Maybe ask there.

You can add that to the pile of things people _should_ do. You just need to find the people willing to do it.

The easiest and cheapest hardware is RPI with SPI can interface ic(there are guides for this). PCIe can cards are kind of expensive. Then its just a quesion of creating RT capable drivers for them.
