Why do you want to set a speed? Normally you set a position.

Addendum:
Something is wrong.
In the current configuration of the servos (factory settings), it is not possible to set a speed.
Is anyone else using the 6M60-400H2A1-M17?

Does the amplifier actually fault and if so do you actually know why it is faulting?

I think my problem is usually not the missing updates, but the forgotten details, due to lack of documentation. So maybe just update the documentation is already good.

I never connect my cnc machines to the internet (what for?).
I would leave the existing system completely untouched and create an independent newer backup system. (Takes time pressure away)

The hours you have to invest in the backup system is probably the same as fixing things once it stopped working. (bad wheather? unplug! )
I bought parallelport cards for cheap, they worked on newer, but still old hardware. (6-7 year old 2nd hand PC)

I would only update if there is a particular function that I want or need.
Never change running system.

OK, thx, ce mode m'avait échappé.

you could use a PushButton (under the linuxcnc-HAL heading)

It makes a hal pin.
Don't forget to set the property:
pin_name and pin_type

My Latest config still having issue with joint 0 fail. 

Do I start from scratch? do you mind giving a example how to configure this . Took me awhile just to try to get this far.

Thanks

Tommy,
Thanks for the reminder about the on-machine simulation, that works fine.

I was hoping I had missed something in Camotics or NCViewer, or there was another product available that I could run at the design stage away from the machine.

Well, this shows I need to install LinuxCNC Simulator on my desktop.

John.

If your desktop is a Windows machine, you can use Virtualbox to host linuxcnc on.

You might also want to disable IPv6 on the card, otherwise there are
some discovery packets sent. After the card is up, I use the following
command to turn of IPv6:

sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth1.disable_ipv6=1
 

Thanks. It seems the simplest method is to add this to the GRUB command lineipv6.disable=1

I just need someone to test my CAM web app for bugs, feedback, and feature requests. Willing to add post processors to the software if its not there. The app is at plasmadesk.com no sign up works when u visit.

Hello everyone,

After successfully getting the EtherCAT configuration for the A6 750W up and running, I ordered the remaining servos for my milling machine.
A word of warning in advance: I had a lot of trouble with German customs. If the value of the goods exceeds €150, you have to react quickly and submit all the necessary documents to DHL Express, otherwise the delivery will be sent straight back to China.

The servos ordered this time are not the A6 750W but the A6 400W (A6-EC400H2A1-M17-STO). I thought I would just have to duplicate the entries in Ethercat.xml and only adjust the slave idx=.
That doesn't work. The A6 400W use completely different addresses.
Here is an excerpt from the Ethercat configuration:

This means I have to rewrite the xml for the A6 400W.
As soon as I'm done and the configuration is running, I'll upload it here.

I have had loong time before network tunning done this ... it is basic stuff for latency reduction at any hardware

I will do the kill of EEE and I will share the resaults in comming weeks .. thanks for hint !

regards
