New ethercat / probe basic control for minimonster

ok, z motor hooked up and powered.

im basically lost at this point.

anyone want to walk me through or point me to nice simple sequential "do this then this" instructions?

as of right now i did the ethercat install, and nothing much else. if i type ethercat slaves in the terminal it shows me nothing.

here is my drive manual
www.megatech.ro/doc/590/Accurax%20G5%20w...20Users%20Manual.pdf

thanks!

So, any help on ethercat finding my drives would be nice. When i try twincat, it sees the drive but then it triggers a communication error. so something is set wrong somewhere.

ok, i dont know what the issue was, but it works now. i see the slave.......

what next?
need a wizard
