Single object not cyclically updated via PDO although mapped was created by Stefan1

Hello to everyone,

I use a servo drive ECOVARIO 114RN-QJ from JAT. The communication via EtherCAT is basically working and I can read digital inputs / position / ADC from within LinuxCNC. However, one manufacturer-specific object (0x2861) which is used to simply control digital outputs is not cyclically sent via PDO although it is mapped and hence the digital output cannot be controlled. When I update this object via SDO (ethercat download 0x2861 0 0x01) it works but not via PDO. In the control software of the servo drive, I see the object is mapped in the RX PDO but also that is does not receive updates. For other objects in contrast everything works as expected.

The definition of the object 0x2861 is simple. It has only one index 0 which is an 8 bit value where each bit corresponds to one digital output of which the drive has 3 (dout0 .. dout2). The object 0x2860 used in my configuration does the opposite, it is used to read digital inputs (and works).

Edit:
I observed that 0x2861 will be cyclically sent when I use either Sync Manager 4/5 instead of 2/3 for all objects or if I handle object 0x2861 separately in SM 4/5 with PDO 1601. But no matter what I try, with the config as attached I cannot control the digital outputs. The manufacturer of the drive tested with CODESYS and confirms digital outputs can be controlled with SM 2/3. So it must be something on the EC Master side (or my config of course

)

Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Thank you & Regards
Stefan

Sorry, no idea.
What I would have done is to read the ethercat section of the drive's manual several times. I couldn't find it, so that's that.
Test the drive outside of linuxcnc, perhaps with Twincat.
Try to see if igh's ethercat master gets confused by the linuxcnc xml config file, try to verify function without that xml file. The drive has info on which pdos it have, use that info instead. Doublecheck with "ethercat xml"
I see you are on a good way and you have tools to access the drive directly.

If you want to use 4,5 sync manager you have to added them to the .xml config I think... map it over and it should works ...

But I did not see any config .xml with the 4 and 5 sync manager working yet ...

sync manager 2 and 3 is basically for cyclic periodical communication(there is only critical and ultranecessary stuff) and sync manager 4 and 5 is for non time periodical comm(there is everything else) ...
