Hello boyzo,

if you are german maybe you can find a lot of information on this tread:

forum.linuxcnc.org/42-deutsch/43027-prob...n-ethercat?start=170

i configured a lot of new xml for EP Module on this thread.

in this post i describe roughly how it works

forum.linuxcnc.org/42-deutsch/43027-prob...cat?start=170#233740

Thank you, I am getting through some of your post with google translate.
I did export xml in TC2 and I get huge .xml file for AX5205. From some examples in this forum .xml file content is much shrink. What I really need for correct config?

regards

I don't used the xml from Twincat für the ep's.
You have only to type in your console:

ethercat pdos

then you have the Information for the EL or EP Module.
I think for the AX5205 you need the configuration for the PDO.
I had configured my JAT servo amplifiers first and then created the XML afterwards. Find attached my configuration.

Can you send us the console output for ethercat pdos like

ethercat pdos >> pdo.list

Maybe you can help me also with .hal file to get basic things there? Do you use some configuration utility like pncconf?
