Actually, I did have a problem with the closed loop ECT60 in the beginning.
First start it was ok, second start it gave me Following Error.
So before linuxcnc starts the encoder position is reset to zero.
My start script
This may not be the right way to solve this, but it seems to work and I stopped researching the problem.

#! /bin/bash
ethercat -p 0 download 0x2010 0 1
ethercat -p 1 download 0x2010 0 1
linuxcnc QtPlasma.ini

Hello, Hakan. My Mama told me that if you receive help from someone,
you shouldn't just say thank you, but express it.
I wanted to thank you for your help with a small gift and propose a personal project, so I asked for your contact information,
but I can't find it.
Please contact me. You have no idea how much my mom nags.
My email is joshualee777-at-gmail-dot-com.

It's flattering, but you know, if you're happy with my advice, then I'm happy, really happy.

Sometimes I tell small lies to my mother to avoid her scolding, and I think this might be one of those times.
I run a small research lab in New York, USA, making medical devices. Because these are small machines, I’ve been able to build good systems with Mach4 and ESS, and I’ve had some success in production.
Now I have a project that needs a 6-axis machine. Mach4 can do it, but because of the natural limits with TCP, I started researching and discovered LinuxCNC with EtherCAT. I had heard of it before, but AI really opened my eyes — I could get explanations and answers right away, which gave me confidence to try this system for my business.
The challenge is, the information is scattered, and it’s hard to find a paid consulting service that fits my needs. Forums have been helpful, but I still can’t put the last pieces together. I’m not sure if offering to pay for help here would go against the spirit of the community, so I want to be respectful.
My goal is to build a commercial-quality multi-axis CNC milling machine, and to create a library of tested INI, HAL, and XML files for different motors and drives. This would help me design small, medium, and large machines with proven, stable, and affordable hardware.
If it’s okay in this community, I’d be happy to pay for the right guidance. Could You help me bring this project to completion?

Irrelevant, but i have a brother in NY, Zojz Visuals - 10 County Center rd White Plains NY 10607, and one in NJ.
As for payment, Andy once said and i agree with him completely, we need to think what to do with that money, so we do not have time for that.
Or similar.
Having said that, it is really nice to compensate for help, makes life a bit more bearable.
Sorry for the rant, as i can not help much with EtherCAT, but i will help with anything else as much as humanly possible.

Sorry, I don't do consulting.
But I'm often here on the forum and, as I do for everyone, I try to help.
Ethercat has its fair share of startup issues and that's what many people need help with. But after the devices are configured and working, it's just regular LinuxCNC, with HAL files, INI files and all that. Now you know something about ethercat, Tommy and can jump in.
