Ethercat HAL driver

Hi Nicolas,

thank you for your fast answer.

I am using Debian GNU/Linux 9 \n \l (cat /etc/issue) and I also checked the version by using uname -a and the following answer appears:
Linux linuxcnc 4.9.0-8-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Debian 4.9.110-3+deb9u6 (2018-10-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Does the amd64 mean that the kernel is only for amd prozessors? I use an Dell Optiplex 9020 with an Intel i5.

Sorry but this are all informations i can find.

is it possible, that you give me another hint?

thanks

Hi Corbett,
Thank you very much for everything, just try to have a good time fun and share it with you, many times it is difficult to program things without having much knowledge, for the chopper module if you use it you will have to load the configuration file for the work stress levels.

For the question you have about this error lcec_conf: ERROR: Analysis error on line 6: aborted analysis, it is simply that you should have a misspelling in the configuration .xml file, can you check if it is like this?
if you want you can publish your .xml file and we take a look

Ideally, configure EL7041 using TWINCAT3

if you can add the EL7041-0000, no problem

The EL7041-0001 and EL7041-1000 have the same generic PDO pre-defined, it should work without problems.

Hello again Nico2017,
to my knowledge there is no limited number of devices, if the system crashes it is because you have poorly configured PDOs, also if you have more different PDOs and they do not enter this device, they will affect the following device and will also enter into failure mode, to Sometimes the order of the devices is also important, since each one consumes different relog cycles and causes delays that affect the state of the next device, performed tests with 40 devices in series and without problem, currently in my system I have it due in 2 ethercat masters, some for servos and another for inputs and outputs, if you want I can help you have two teachers, it's really easy.

Hello phoenix_83
Do you have Quilt installed?

hello manojpatil,
The attached .xml file is the configuration file I suppose created by TWINCAT3 ?? I think it is not in the correct format, as I can see in the file are you trying to control the SINEE EA100N servo controller
If you are finalizing linuxcnc-ethercat does not include this controller, do you know programming to make your own? if not the best is that you use the generic.

Chimeno

Hi Chimeno,
thanks for the input for absence of limitation of EtherCAT slave. I actually tried with two masters, without success so far, but it is nice to have this ability I think. I will reinvestigate my .xml file, I think the issue could potentially be linked to a DC config issue as you relate it in your previous post:

<dcConf assignActivate = "730" sync0Cycle = "125000" sync0Shift = "0" sync1Cycle = "875000" sync1Shift = "0 />

Still not a 100% familiar with the concept involved, so if your understanding of this command line has progressed and there is a method to determine each parameter value, that would be really helpful.

Thank you,

Nicolas
