Stepperonline A6-1000EC driver

Hi, I am creating a custom machine for work and really really need help. I am using the above driver with a 1000w servo motor for the spindle. I have installed ethercat and configured. I have downloaded the xml file for the drive from stepperonline. I have created a hal file that loads lcec and the xml file. But when I start linuxcnc is stops with an error saying lcec exited. How can I use this to drive the spindle. I don't need limits or probes or anything, Just speed.

I am really out of my depth here as I normally use a 3ph and vfd but space and weight does not permit this on the machine I am making.

Thanks

Russell

The xml file from stepperonline is for something else.
You need a xml file that maps the linuxcnc internal "pins" to the drives PDOs.
There are numerous examples if you search for "A6 ethercat-conf.xml" in this forum. You can start with one of these and then adapt to your needs.

check with command "ethercat slaves". Errors show up in syslog.

You can set SDOs permanently with "ethercat download".
There can be a maximum of 10 PDOs in the xml file.
