Ethercat auto configurator.

Hi Fakename,

The executable "ethercat_twincat" start up with a default none name "EK1100".
See the mainwindow : node_ethercat = new graphics_node("EK1100",ports);

A better name should be something like : "Ethercat".

seems to show the correct process data objects, so I'm not sure what's going on.
This is nice. That means the digital xml config is parsed succesfully.


Maybe this is not the best way to start figuring out things for you.
Best for you is maybe a minimal example where ethercat is showing your pdo config in gui, without
the usage of node's etc.

Then set some test values, to try to run the motors?

hi,

if you are building ethercat-master from source... there is possibility to disable eoe on master during ./configure script for example

Code:

./configure --sysconfdir=/etc/ --disable-8139too --enable-userlib --disable-generic --disable-eoe --enable-e1000e but I am fighting with them right now to install non generic driver because in responsitories is only generic possible ..

 

Sorry for the basic questions.  Where do you enter that command?  Do you put it in a file during the build process?
And while I'm at it, what method do you use to build from source?  I'm new to this.  I'm just trying to disable EoE.

You can use the tool to export the drive sii file, then modify it to disable eoe and then flash it back

Yes it is possible did it in the many ways... but only working way for me was that to switch off the EoE master directly on the master...

I did it during ethercat installation ... install everything like a rodw has in his thread and then turn off ethercat master service ... and finally reinstall just ethercat master with right driver what is directly supported my hardware to supress the latency and then disable feature --eoe ...

I can did a terminal command manual if somebody needs them

regards

as a new linux user, can someone give tips on how to install/try this twincat utility?

Now that's cool
