Hi guys, I don't have much experience on EtherCAT I followed the installation the my configuration:
Code:
uname -a Linux PcLcnc 4.9.0-8-rt-686-pae #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Debian 4.9.110-3+deb9u6 (2018-10-08) i686 GNU/Linux
I've some problems when I load "loadrt lcec" in hal
Code:
Failed to register PDO entry: No such file or directory LCEC: master 0 PDO entry registration failed lcec: rtapi_app_main: Invalid argument (-22) /home/operatore/Scrivania/prova.hal:4: waitpid failed /usr/bin/rtapi_app lcec /home/operatore/Scrivania/prova.hal:4: /usr/bin/rtapi_app exited without becoming ready /home/operatore/Scrivania/prova.hal:4: insmod for lcec failed, returned -1
reading the posts preceding the error "PDO entry 0x6000"
Code:
dmesg | egrep EtherCAT [ 10.362827] EtherCAT: Master driver 1.5.2 unknown [ 10.363074] EtherCAT: 1 master waiting for devices.

I only encountered when I insert the line with "EL2004" in the configuration XML.
I have'n found a solution for upload "PDO 0x6000"
Another inaccuracy when I execute the command

I don't see the 2 "ES9100" present between positions 4-5 and 15-16 even disconnecting the servo insert them first WHY?

Hi Tetw,

Did you succeed to load and run a simple config like the EK1100 only?
Bustime in xml file : 1000000 is ok.

Hi folks,

i managed to get LinuxCNC with ethercat driver up and Running thanks to Grotius.

Is there anywhere a Tutorial how to add Ethercat devices. I have an RTelligent Ethercat (COE) Capable ECT60 Stepper Driver with the Corresponding .XML file. And a Beckhoff EP2316-0008 8 INPUTS / 8 Outputs. How should the ethercat_conf.XML look to get the drive/io module usable.

I have tried to make the XML with the tutorial for the IndraDrives from the LinuxCNC wiki:

indraDrive tutorial

File Attachment:

File Name: ECTSeriesV...1-10.xml
File Size:180 KB

If I do a ethercat slaves in Terminal it writes following output:

0 0:0 PREOP + ECT60(COE)
1 0:1 PREOP + EP2316-0008 8 K. Dig. Ein, 10�s, 8 K. Dig. Aus 24V, 0,5A, Diagn

Hi Jc2ktr,

No not really.

To all users. :laugh:

It is time to write an application that writes the xml file automaticly for the lcec driver.
This will save everyone over here lot's of time. For a few, it can saves weeks.
I mention in general, that the application's at linuxcnc are becoming more complex and advanched over time.

I have experience with reading and writing xml files in c++. It's really easy to do that.
But i need help from you guy's to make the software details.

Who is for making the software and can help provide the ethercat info for the different servo drives?

I have non experience with twincat. Otherwise maybe i had the logic to write some code, but now it's that we can let the software
do a terminal command, then retrieve a slave list. At that moment we have to generate the xml file.

Hi JanMrlth,

I have seen your video on Youtube. Nice work. Quite complex to understand the ethercat bus.

Hi @Grotius,
I agree with you that the parametrization of the EtherCAT xml file for linuxcnc EtherCAT driver can be a hard task.

I believe you can get a lot (all) of information from the ESI file (xml format) usually provided by manufacturers at request and also by the use of TwinCAT to read those EtherCAT parameters. But I believe that TwinCAT is actually looking into those ESI file to get a default configuration, more precisely if you are using TwinCAT offline not connected to any physical slave and simulate an EtherCAT master - slaves topology.

Some motor drives or slaves will need to be configured via the manufacturer software/application to configure the EtherCAT communication (inputs outputs and so on). Once parametrized you could use TwinCAT to connect yourself to the slave and identify the different informations. Then you have to convert it into usable information for the linuxcnc EtherCAT .xml file.

You could also use the EtherCAT commands to identify all pdos directly.
