The EL1809 is the same like EP1819 you can use my xml.
You have to chance the pid=".. for the EL1809.
Make a new config with pnconf for LPT Port or so. Then start with basic ethercat impementation.
What he means is to type ethercat slaves --verbose which reports the vendor id (vid) and the product Id (pid). The XML vid should not change as they are both Beckhoff devices but you need to change the pid to what is reported.
Building digital io xml files is very straight forward. Here is one (slave 2) we built recently that has 8 bit values for a block of inputs or outputs when you have a series if single bits
github.com/rodw-au/linuxcnc-cia402/blob/...ercat-conf-diewu.xml
Where your pdos say:
Code:
SM0: PhysAddr 0x1000, DefaultSize 2, ControlRegister 0x00, Enable 1
TxPDO 0x1a00 "Channel 1"
PDO entry 0x6000:01, 1 bit, "Input"
you end up with something like:
Code:
<pdo idx="1a00">
<!-- Digtial Outputs (DIEWU_EtherCAT_DIO_16)-->
<pdoEntry idx="6000" subIdx="01" bitLen="1" halPin="Input-01" halType="bit">
where the hal pin name is arbitrary
