Ethercat HAL driver

chimeno,

How is github (sascha) responding to your new drivers?
We have to upload this to the sacha channel.

I think sacha must make you a member of his channel. Can you ask this to him?

Hello Grotius, thanks for the compliments, but it's not that bad, I'm not an expert and I can not compare with Sascha, I just try to play a bit with linuxcnc and ethercat and learn a little more each day, I'll look if I can upload to the channel.
regards
Chimeno

Hi guys,
added the module EL9210 to the standard configuration, greetings Chimeno

Hi guys,
added the module EL9410 to the standard configuration, greetings Chimeno

hello guys, tested and operated the system safety beckhoff, EL6900, EL1904, EL2904, with the function safeStop, I have some problem in the conflict of groups but can be reset with the variable ACK, in principle works well, for more ... . Regards

Hi Chimeno,

Thanks dude. This is perfect !!

Did you ever tried the etherlab.org/en/ethercat/ driver and edit a simple example?
This is very nice to test for embedded application's with QT interfacing. Very, very powerfull !!
( for readers, this has nothing to do with linuxcnc. It's a stand alone application based on fast protocol and high end HMI, used in this submarine for example : )

Sorry guys ... probabily I've posted mine last in wrong place .... I need some info about latency and Ethercat ... I need to run ethercat to 0,250 ms .... and I not understand if these result of latency is enought!

Can anyone reply to me about? Thanks! The link of mine probabily wrongplace to post (here in lcnc forum).

regards

Hello, i scored many I/O terminals from older machine, that was scrapped. Problem is, that these are K-Bus (KL1002/KL2012 for example)

I have a bus coupler BK1120 for them. Up and running in TwinCAT everything is working fine.

BUT

I sucessfully installed linuxcnc-ethercat and i can see my coupler in slaves. I've read somewhere, that K-Bus is not "transparent" to ethercat master, so i guess that's why i see ONLY my coupler.

Looking through code of linuxcnc-ethercat, it seems to have compatibility only for E-Bus devices (EL.... etc)

Is there any possibilty to "talk" with K-Bus terminals and coupler?

Hi All,

I finally have my Hurco KMB1 running again. It took quite a bit to totally figure everything out, but I absolutely love the EtherCAT setup. Just ran the first part program through today. I will post pictures in a few weeks of my setup. About to start retrofitting the second machine with the same setup.

Dan (sqmathlete),
You were correct, I needed to read a LOT more about the whole concept and it took time but glad to have the machine running again.

Thanks,
Robert

hello Groutis, if at the beginning you provide an example of code to handle a servodrive, but since I'm not programmed it's easier for me with the sittner code, regards
