Beckhoff ethercat 64 with bit linuxcnc, How to install.

No, I really don't know why. Please tell me the reason why.

@Jim,

I will tell you why..

Once i was expert programmer related to Kuka robotic's.

Safety is number one in automotive industry. So enable the robot servo drives is not a option if a person is trapped by a robot.
It will only cause more (hours) of delay to free the person. To free the person first the drives have to be enabled. For lineair machines main power shut down is the best option.

Hi Grotius,

thanks, that makes sense.

There is one other thing:
Please tell me, that i have a chance to use Beckhoff KL modules with linuxcnc. (if not - i may have a problem..)

It's almost as simple as the find and replace function for whole document with text editor geany.

I didnt get this. So please can you say what in your example was really needed to change?

Thanks

Hi Conny,

What i mentioned, if a driver not exist's it is possible to copy and edit a existing driver.

What i meant was what exactly is needed to change in this files.
In the .h file i have seen its the PID VID and PDOS lines but what do i need to change in the .c file?
I am asking because today i get my K-Bus modules wich now i need to adopt drivers for

Thank you!
Conny
