hal ini and xml configuration for akd motor driver

How did you cabled your system?

one Network Card -> (cable) -> EK1000 IN Socket - EK1000 OUt Socket -> (cable) -> AKD Drive ?

exactly but the ethercat device is EK1100

Hmm,

the ek1100 is not listed in your ethercat_conf .

add this to your conf file :
<slave idx="0" type="EK1100"/>

in front of the akd slave, and change the index from the akd to idx="1" .

after this test again, with "ethercat slaves" after starting lcnc.

and post the errors.

hi,
thanks for your response, i did the changes to the xml fine and got some errors saying the pin not found so I change the hal file aswel to match the current setting. thanks to you now the EK1100 changes to OP mode but not the driver. the linux cnc runs with no error aswell but i still get this error when i try to jog the motor or run a g code:
link (updating variable file): Operation not permitted
task: main loop took 0.112958 seconds
link (updating variable file): Operation not permitted
task: main loop took 0.123283 seconds
link (updating variable file): Operation not permitted
task: main loop took 0.111918 seconds
link (updating variable file): Operation not permitted
task: main loop took 0.111179 seconds

here are my new files: i think there should be a miss matching of the pins in the hal and actual device what do you think?
 

oh btw,
linux cnc runs but there is something suspicious in the terminal:
Starting LinuxCNC...
emc/iotask/ioControl.cc 702: can't load tool table.
Found file(REL): ./ethercat.hal
Note: Using POSIX realtime
link (updating variable file): Operation not permitted

link (updating variable file): Operation not permitted
this should not be ethercat related, there is something wrong with user rights etc. Lcnc can't write to its var file. never seen this before... to be shure that its not ethercat related, start one of the sample configs and test if this error persists.

AKD Drive:
as long as the drive not goes to op mode, hal pins are not important. First the ethercat conf has to work for this drive.
to go further with this set in Terminal ethercat debug level to 1. "ethercat debug 1"
start the config, and post the ethercat related output of dmesg.

i changed the debug level here is the dmesg output

i noticed even if i run

ryan@RYAN:/media/ryan/LINUXCNC_2_/configs$ ethercat states OP
ryan@RYAN:/media/ryan/LINUXCNC_2_/configs$ ethercat slaves
0 0:0 OP + EK1100 EtherCAT-Koppler (2A E-Bus)
1 58:0 PREOP E AKD EtherCAT Drive (CoE)

only the first one changes the state

just a quick update, i managed to change the alias from 58 to 0, there was a physical screw type of thing on ht edriver that I set to 0 and now here is my slaves output
0 0:0 PREOP + EK1100 EtherCAT-Koppler (2A E-Bus)
1 0:1 PREOP + AKD EtherCAT Drive (CoE)

Hi, would you be able to share your final config? We are on a similar path with 4 of the same drives but I knew nothing about ethercat configs until yesterday , so progress is slow.

Our current error using your config is;
./ethercat.hal:14: execv(lcec_conf): No such file or directory

Thanks in anticipation
