WEMAS MT 32 CNC Lathe -> LinuxCNC - Mesa or EtherCAT?

What do you mean with "SoE"?
Maybe i try to get a used Beckhoff AX5xx from eBay when thats easyer to use with LCNC.

... the SIEMENS etherCAT pcb is hard to get. it starts to annoying me...

AX5xxx from beckhoff is SoE and it can be pain to create custom .xml which should be editable out of Sachas own .xml files...

SoE does mean - Sercos over Ethercat ... similar to CoE - CANopen over Ethercat ... You can imagine that ethercat itself is a empty lorry train were many different buses/networks shape members can sit a transport itself where they are need ..but very fast, synchro and with many many diagnostic stuff

I have never creating custom .xml file for them only for CoE stuff I have done it... I think if you are basic user it should be enough for you to use .xml config from saschas shop but ... it has many many very usefull stuff as monitoring the native I/Os ... external encoder - basically for external encoder as linear scales to run velocity loop over them ...

Hi, are the xml files from the aforementioned Sasha’s shop somewhere to be found? Would love to have a look.
