That's more that 1 ms so a reason for timeouts

You might try a 2 ms servo thread
(2000000 ns in the ini file)SERVO_PERIOD = 2000000

Okay - we found the problem and after some tests believe it is fixed. a stray full-stop ina file name pattern.

Thanks Joco!

Sorry for my ignorance, I don't understand network addresses.

Thanks

does anyone know what the r210 and s210 cables coming from the spindle motor is and what the et pin on the drive is

I saw "Supper imposed" function on modern sinumerik cnc this summer. I supposed, "yes it woould be nice to see same on linuxcnc. But maybe it will be never realized". But you make it so easy!!! I very impressed about that!

-Plugging and unplugging power does cause latency warning, but machine continues to work
-disabling TPM does NOT help much

-no more warnings even playing videos during running of LinuxCNC and doing other stuff,

No video yet, will update when i get to it.

Hello. I installed ethercat following all the instructions. I can see my servo motors. But I can't do anything else. I cannot create the lcec.conf file. Please can you help? (I can't find a clear source because I use Google translate)

Dell very old laptop with parallel port

Acer Switch 5 tablet

Lenovo ThinkPad R61E, built in RJ45 connector, very old
-This is with only 1Gb of RAM, Linux Mint 19.3 XCFE, kernel 4.16.12-rt5-kona-rt, single core processor at 2GHz.
-Using 4.9.47-rt37-kona-rt kernel the latency is much better, and can run Linuxcnc through ethernet connected to a 7i92 for 2 days without latency issues.
-Overall, a usable laptop for machine control, especially with more memory. No battery so no info if removing the power would cause latency errors.
Added:
Using this laptop for several weeks now, no issues so far, it works nicely and does not cause latency spikes even under load.

-No GRUB changes, no isolcpus nor anything else, no BIOS changes
-complaints about latency whenever sound is used, but does not loose or drop connection,
==disabling hyperthreading and Intel AMT gets rid the warnings, but still rarely it does complain
-Plugging power does cause latency warning, but machine continues to work, and uplugging does not.
-isolcpus=3 and =2,3 did not help
-disabling TPM does NOT help much
==disabling SGX and virtualization DOES help a lot,
-no more warnings even playing videos during running of LinuxCNC and doing other stuff,
-did not test youtube as WiFi does not work with this kernel
-no more issues with servo period 1mil at all, except when plugging power

Lenovo ThinkPad X240, built in RJ45 connector:
-LinuxCNC 2.8 on Linux Mint 19.3, Mesa 7i92 on a production machine, very short use but so far no complaints at all
-No GRUB changes, no isolcpus, no changes to BIOS, nor anything else
-Plugging and unplugging power does not cause any issues
-Running on batteries does not cause issues
-Used for a 5 hour run and left two days on, no issues, no warnings, no disconnects.

Had two of these, they seem to have bad issues with batteries where if any of the two (internal and external) batteries is empty, the laptop will not turn on at all, needs several hours plugged in to actually turn on.
Do not let the batteries go empty.

Lenovo ThinkPad T470 with touchscreen and built in RJ45 connector:
-In use for over a year running LinuxCNC 2.8 on Linux Mint 19.3 and PlasmaC on a production machine, wired to Mesa 7i92, complains about latency with 1000000 servo period but never fails, never drops the connection and never messes up.
-No GRUB changes, no isolcpus or anything, probably would get rid of the warning if used.
-Plugging and unplugging power does not cause issues
-Using it on batteries does not cause issues
Will add BIOS stuff and videos/pictures later.

Do NOT post here about issues with Laptops, post only tested and working ones.
For issues start a new topic, BUT do keep in mind laptops are not advised to use on production machines due to latency issues inherent from power saving options built into them.
All test are done on a production machine, time in use noted for each one below, as are BIOS settings changed and suitability for use in testing or hobby or production environment.

Confirmed able to install now on stable.
