AX58100 was created by SOLD
Hello
I'm a newbie. I started DIY Ethercat board with AX58100
1. AX58100-16in-16out
2. AX58100-Step/DIR + Encoder ABZ +8in/8out GPIO

Everything works on Twincat and I can connect it to Linux lcec

I want to use it with Linux CNC as 3axis and 1 spindle
In the axis there are
-Step/Direct
-Input8
-Output8
-Encoder ABZ
And there is AX58100-16in-16out board as the main I/O of the system

But I still can't create the correct ethercat-conf.xml file. I don't understand if it needs to be used as CIA402 or not
I have attached the XML files from AXIS for both boards

Can you please suggest a generator for ethercat-conf.xml for this project

Thanks for your support

I got a reply email from the AX58100 manufacturer saying that it is not possible to use only AX58100, need to use external MCU via SPI.

But no answer about working as IO. I want to know if not using CIA402 can still be declared as input/output.

Pretty cool. I assume that there is no gateway IC that woul parse the ethercat messages but the chip itself is pretty cool.
I assume that you can still use the pwm, encoder etc features as a "standalone".
Where did you get the chip and how much did you pay for it?

Yes, it can't process by itself, as the manufacturer replied by email.
I tried step/direct with factory XML via twincat, it works. I'm still new to ethercat, I can't do much more.
This demo board is available on Alixprees th.aliexpress.com/item/1005005600858798....arch%7Cquery_from%3A
