Problems with Lichuan Ethercat servo drive

That fixed it! Thank you very much.

So having tried a dozen times to get this to work, the best I could manage was to get lcec_conf to load, showing the example pins only(show pin lcec.) I haven't managed to get servos to show at all using 'ethercat slaves', or in LinuxCNC itself.
I have tried RodW's config files and the LC10EV1.04.xml configuration file provided by COFHAL, to no avail.
For some reason my network port isn't letting me see my servos (4x400w currently plugged in), though it works perfectly well for install and other purposes.
No problems were encountered installing, or updating upto this point.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Did I see somewhere above that there was some configuration software available from Lichuan?

Lichuan says some Linuxcnc users have success with firmware 1.11 and others with 1.04. They have a windows program for loading the firmware into the drive.

Thank you stirra, do you happen to have a link to this software and 1.11? The only support link I had back in July was to the manual. My drives show "10rY" on powering-up but don't connect.

They emailed a special link, but I have it temporarily up on a server (to copy from my linux laptop to a windows laptop). Future readers of this thread should contact Lichuan for the files though. For the moment, you can grab them at:

Ralph, you are a star, thank you. I'll try these a little later.
