Ethercat with EL6751 CanOpen Master and JAT Servo Drives

Hi @Conny

first of all I was asking if you have those devices because I got a second set op it here wich I could maybe share if you are interested.

I don't have them, I could be interested, although then I need another device with CAN-OPEN protocol for the tests that I don't have either

I don't know how else I can help you

Hi Chimeno,

do you mean an other device besides that JAT drive?
If not sending you those both components wont be a big thing to me

Thank you!
Conny

Hello @Conny,
Sorry for taking the time to answer, if I refer to both components, I am from Barcelona, ​​Spain, are you progressing?

Hi Chimeno,

no problem. I also had noch chance to get further because of less time for it.But the lathe on which i want to use those drives got a bunch of new wiring and lot a new paint in the meantime - but still much to do on it.
For this PDO issue I also don´t know what else I could try, so this was also a reason why it gets no progress her.
I think -if you really have no problem with that- the best is you reach me by mail on my account "myusernamehere" at online.de so we can discuss the details for the parcel

Thank you very much!

Greetings
Conny

Hello @Conny,
No problem I sent you an email.
Best regards

Hi Guys, I am stuck in a similar situation, may I chime in?
I am trying to have LinuxCNC talk to ESTUN ProNet Plus series servo drives via linuxcnc-ethercat->Beckhoff EK1100->Beckhoff EL6751.

There is a CANopen manual from the manufacturer so I have high hopes of getting that to work: www.estuneurope.eu/wp-content/uploads/20...anual_compressed.pdf

I have set up TwinCAT on a separate windows machine and I can scan and find all Beckhoff devices automatically. It finds 'special device' EL6751 and asks for baud rate which I set to 500k, the same which I have configured my servo drives to. TwinCAT then 'scans Fieldbus' which takes 30 - 40 seconds or so, but it doesn't discover my servo drives. Is that normal or is my cabling faulty? I've seen in a Nanotec application note that their CANopen devices can be discovered automatically ( en.nanotec.com/fileadmin/files/Applicati.../TwinCAT/TwinCAT.pdf )

On the other hand I have all the PDO data and everything in the CANopen manual so I could set up the devices all manually. How do I generate the ethercat-conf.xml (i.e. github.com/sittner/linuxcnc-ethercat/blo...ex/ethercat-conf.xml ) in TwinCAT then?

Thank you very much
