Hello Experts,

Is there any readymade package with LinuxOS+RTKernel+Ethercat Master prebuilt.?

Can someone please explain the core concept of Ethercat communication compared to traditional step and dir method?

I was wondering what parameters vary from machine to machine in terms of Ethercat configuration?

For example, I have seen that the Ethercat module needs the network card ID when installing/configuring Ethercat Master.

Sadly there is no such ISO file, perhaps there should be, but alas, there is not.

You can install LinuxCNC version 2.9.4 from either of these links:

linuxcnc.org/iso/linuxcnc_2.9.4-amd64.hybrid.iso
www3.langdonstaab.ca/iso/linuxcnc_2.9.4-amd64.hybrid.iso

No, but the LinuxCNC ISO should already have everything needed for installing EtherCAT, see on of the pinned topic on this section.
EtherCAT can not be distributed in any ISO due to licensing issues, as far as i know.

Ethercat explanation.
www.ethercat.org/default.htm

Obviously parameters will be machine\ethercat hardware dependant. The question is quite expansive.

There is quite a good thread getting into setting Ethercat on Linuxcnc.

Good luck with your assignment.
