Wow Thanks a lot hakan

I moved HALFILE = ethercat.hal to the last line as indicated and now the error is gone linuxcnc is open and the command
halcmd setp lcec.0.3.dout-3 0 no longer gives errors

I updated the ethercat-conf.xml file with the devices connected except for the stepper driver. I have to read the documentation to understand how to configure them

i start linuxcnc with display via vnc

ethercaty-conf.xml updated

Great, then it works.
When you move on, please consider that the read-all and write-all has to come in a specific order.

For the stepper motors, I think it is a good chance they work as is. But you should remove the lines
<sdoConfig idx="2000" subIdx="0"><sdoDataRaw data="70 17" /></sdoConfig><!-- Max motor current (6.0) -->
<sdoConfig idx="2011" subIdx="0"><sdoDataRaw data="01 00" /></sdoConfig><!-- Closed loop -->

Your driver doesn't have the open/closed loop setting. It seems to have the max motor current setting at 2000, but best to read up on that I guess.

I have the db608-ec driver as pictured and the ESI file received from the supplier. It works both in open loop and closed loop but to do the tests I connected 3x nema 17 motors in open loop.
