@ Conny,

Not as far as I know. Its a pain but having twincat available is kind of a prerequisite for serious trouble shooting and development.

Makes it sense to post the complete syslog here?

Thanks

Hi all,

I have a new drive that I am trying to control with EtherCAT. When using the ethercat-config .xml file used by the linuxcnc-ethercat driver it seems that the drive stay in PRE-OP stage and is not able to go to OP (the lcec state PRE-OP pin is true in the halshow).

When using TwinCAT on a windows machine, using the scan devices button, the drives goes to OP without any issue. There is actually a list of Startup command visible in TwinCAT in the Startup panel that I cannot modify. Should I reproduce those Startup command under the ethercat file for the linuxcnc ethercat driver? Apparently this should be something like using the command <initCmds filename="DriveInitCommand.xml"/> in the slave lines as shown in the linuxcnc-ethercat-master\examples\initcmds code from GitHub.

Then each command should be described like the following example inside DriveInitCommand.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<EtherCATMailbox><CoE><InitCmds>
	<InitCmd>
		<Transition>PS</Transition>
		<Comment><![CDATA[Max current]]></Comment>
		<Timeout>0</Timeout>
		<Ccs>1</Ccs>
		<Index>32785</Index>
		<SubIndex>17</SubIndex>
		<Data>10270000</Data>
	</InitCmd>
</InitCmds></CoE></EtherCATMailbox>

If you are missing those Startup command, do you think it could be the reason why the drive stays in PRE-OP mode?

Thank you for your help.

Nicolas

@Nico2017

A00F transformation to 0x0FA0.

--> You have to switch / interchange the sequence of bytes: 0F A0 --> A0 0F

hello manojpatil,
  I don't know very well that you need it at a glance, you have several examples in "linuxcnc-ethercat-examples", if you can specify a little more so that we can help you it would be great.
greetings Chimeno

Hi manojpatil,
  If the device does not pass to OP, you probably have a problem in the configuration of the device or configuration of the PDOs, you will have to go step by step to know which configuration line is wrong.
Merry Christmas
