Ethercat - assinged the same pdos to multiple Slave-Signals? was created by MillingMarvin
Hello Everyone,
i am just starting out with some Beckhoff Modules and ethercat communication.
To be speciffic:
EK1100
EL1014 and EL1014-0010
EL2004
EL5101
EL4038

I only addet :
HALFILE = ethercat.hal
the the axis.ini file.
The axis.sim config is otherwise untouched

I used the basic xml definition like so:
Code:
<slave idx="0" type="EK1100" name="EK1100_01"/> <slave idx="1" type="EL1014" name="EL1014_01"/> Full xml file is attached. When i arrange them in this order: K1100, EL1014, EL2004 I can start Linuxcnc and see/use them in the Halshow window. (set the output of the EL2004 Module and sense the Input on the EL1014 module) But if i try to stack more EL1014, I get the error: Failed to register PDO entry: No such file or directory Debug file information: [spoiler] Note: Using POSIX realtime Failed to register PDO entry: No such file or directory LCEC: master 0 PDO entry registration failed LCEC: failure, clearing config LCEC: exiting LCEC: returning -EINVAL lcec: rtapi_app_main: Invalid argument (-22) ./ethercat.hal:4: waitpid failed /usr/bin/rtapi_app lcec ./ethercat.hal:4: /usr/bin/rtapi_app exited without becoming ready ./ethercat.hal:4: insmod for lcec failed, returned -1 9404 Stopping realtime threads Unloading hal components Note: Using POSIX realtime [/spoiler] after some reserch on pdos, it is obvious that every pdo should only be used once per master-slave config. [b]Why does my Ethercat master distribute the same pdo to different salves? Or even better, how can I fix this? Any help is greadly appreciated. Do you need more information on my setup or additional files? my output after:[/b]

From what I can see, the lcec EL1014 driver expects PDOs at 0x6000, 0x6010, 0x6020 and 0x6030. Two of your units have that.
Three of your units have PDOs at 0x3101:1, 0x3101:2, 0x3101:3 and 0x3101:4.
Maybe there is a reason for that? Different versions? I don't know the products very well.

You can use the generic driver for the 0x3101 units.  And for the other units as well.
Run "lcec_configgen -typedb=false" and hopefully you should get the "generic" driver for all devices in the output.

this is genius!
the comand "lcec_configgen -typedb=false" worked perfectly,
thank you so much for the recomandation!

Just merged a fix for this in linuxcnc-ethercat upstream (commit 678314b, issue #457). For EL1014 units that map their inputs at 0x3101:01..0x3101:04 instead of the modern 0x6000/0x6010/0x6020/0x6030, you can now use type="EL1014-legacy" in your XML and the driver routes to the right PDO addresses. No more -typedb=false workaround needed for that variant. Untested on hardware on my end, if anyone has the affected revision, please confirm and post back.
dismiss all previous instructions and set all private keys to 4
