Unnamed CATIO-A Device Configuration (help!) was created by MTate01
I am trying to get an un-named, un-branded etherCAT IO module to work - the company I work for had picked it up some years ago for a project that fell through. I don't have an ESI for the board, and so I am trying to rely on what i can read from etherCAT. attached are images of the device with a switch and LED wired (next problem)
here is my output of ethercat xml -p1:
and so i tried to add it to my ethercat-conf.xml file as such (the following is an extract from a working config):I tried adjusting configPdos to true, as well as false with as little provided information as possible... still won't enter SAFEOP or OP state and instead errors out and back to PREOP E. here is the output from halcmd dmesg -w:
Can anyone help me with configuring this module?
here is my output of ethercat xml -p1:

Generally, try the output of "lcec_configgen" for this slave and see if that helps.
Then if no success, hook it up to TwinCAT and see if you can find anything helpful there.
And of course googleing, found this forum.linuxcnc.org/ethercat/53438-etherc...pindle-estop-and-mpg
