Hello guys,
I have a question, I'm trying to install the linuxcnc-ethercat patch in version 2.8 or 2.9 but it doesn't work, only version 2.7 works for me, if anyone can help me.

I attach the patch file.

Thank you
Chimeno

In the end it works in version 2.9, we go with the first synchronism tests, there are quite a few changes since version 2.7, I will have to update.

Hi fabsilva,
I don't have those drivers but I can still help you, exactly what problem do you have?
Are they in OP mode?
Are the motors configured correctly with the driver?
you will have to use the generic version of linuxcnc-ethercat
if you want you can build your own controller, I leave you an example link

hi chimeno,
first of all thanks
second i'm using this configuration:
debian wheezy with linuxcnc 2.6-12
ethercat 1.5.2 and rtai3.4-9

I developed a working prototype with linuxcnc and a beckoff configuration for servo motor.
now I would like to build something more industrial. I have AKD drivers and AKM motors from kollmorgen.
starting from the configuration done on beckoff I generated the xml file for AKD, the .hal file and the .ini for linuxcnc.
Now, linuxcnc start correctly without error, but when i tried to move motors two are the things: o doesn't happend or i have a joint ferror.
I'm probably wrong linking pins and signals in some way.

Hi fabsilva,
I have never used that configuration with the DDT component and the targetvel signal, I will try to investigate a bit, if there is another forum partner that manages that signal can help you.

thank you so much.
I'd like to move AKMs even without DDT components. I would like to move it controlling in velocity mode but I wouldn't know how to link pins and signals to the AKD driver. May be there are also some enable signal or opmode signal that i 'm not able to set correctly.

Hello fabsilva,
if you have it properly configured and the engine is running, placing this signal you have to roll,
setp lcec.0.0.poscommand 100
if it works then you would have to look at the PID component for speed control,

Hi,

can anyone say how to read error messages from the beckhoff EL modules? In my first real world setup for my lathe i now got one of the three EL5101 get sometimes out of function. when i check with ethercat slaves in the terminal i can see that this module goes safeop+error. its really frustration that i dont know what is going on. sadly this is the newest one of all 5101 of this setup, so i cant imagine this one is defective.
thank you for your help!

Regards
Conny

@ Conny,

I wouldn't make any assumptions. Run the terminals through twincat and see if you still get an error.

Kind regards,
Dan

Hi Dan,

thank you for your reply. Is the only chance to read the error with getting a win pc here with twincat running or is there a chance to do this from my debian pc at the machine?
