rodw, thank you for correcting my mistake. I would like to ask you if you could help me in that quest. I think I have mentioned some details on the wall I’m currently facing in the previous post, but I don’t see it. Maybe it disappeared after you fixed the broken link.The last change I made to my configuration was I changed the refClockSyncCycles="1" to refClockSyncCycles="10000" and included the Mailbox initCmd file that db1981 provided.I’m trying to figure things out, but unfortunately there are no good examples available. I would like to know how I can generate the initCmds. I guess they are generated by TwinCAT but some step-through instructions on either TwinCAT 2 or 3 would be greatly appreciated. I have never used Beckhoff software in my life and having a good starting point would be very helpful.I have used EtherCAT before, but on the more high-abstraction level – just doing small tweaks to already made systems. I’m building a machine from scratch, and I have decided to use EtherCAT as it’s very simple to wire and is very robust. I’m aware that it’s not going to be just plug and play, but I will learn as I go.
All help is much appreciated.
