Yes, it is an ethercat drive . I contacted the manufacturer of the drive a while back but got nothing .Inside the ethercat folder there is everything for for the power automation stuff and two xml files for technosoft drives . I've attached the smaller one . The other is located here
Technosoft_drive
Is it possible they've used these instead of the original one ? PDOs look the same . With a change in vendor id and product code of course .
Those drives are mostly used in servo-hydraulic injection moulding machines . There they use CAN . But this machine has a rather different story . It's been built as a showcase machine and perhaps the serial number of 1 is accurate .
BTW I had a look inside the software and it really is set up for it .

hmm, please tell the actual product code of your drive.
"ethercat slaves -p(drive slave number) -v"
do you still get this errors if the spindle drive gets connected: EtherCAT WARNING 0-7: SII size exceeds 4096 words (0xffff limiter missing?).
EtherCAT ERROR 0-7: Timeout while waiting for SDO dictionary list response.
What are the actual dmesg errors if you try to start linuxcnc with the spindle drive?

So this is the output from the spindle .And this is the output of dmesg .
I also had a look at the examples with init commands . I'll pay around with that today .

ok, the content of the siieeprom is incomplete, or the whole stuff has to be setup by initcmds but this can't be handled with the etherlabmaster.
So it is neccesary to setup the drive by xml(bin) file.
Has the old control an function to export data for ethercat devices? xml? anything like this....
i don't believe that using the technosoft files, will get the decided target...

Had a look inside . Couldn't find anything remotely useful . Only thing we have is the network description xml (in my first post named Leaderway5Ax.xml .
Can that be translated similarly to these examples ? : initcmds example

had no luck to import this file or an single slave section....
Are you able to run the Acontis EC-engineer on the old control? inside you can export eni Files from Slaves..

I couldn't find the EC engineer inside the old controls . All that was there is some PLC stuff . I guess I can request an evaluation version from Acontis .

are you able to post an etherlab created xml for the slave:
"ethercat xml -p(slavenumber)"
and the output of "ethercat sii_read -p(slavenumber) -v "
"ethercat xml -p(slavenumber)"
and the output of "ethercat sii_read -p(slavenumber) -v "

Here's the output of sii_read :The output of xml is just as useless :
Is there a more detailed description of the generic driver ? I don't think I'm using it's full potential .
