Separating CiA402 Logic from EtherCAT (lcec): Modular Adapter + Drive Stub Valid

Category: EtherCAT

If someone with LCEC + CiA402 hardware would be willing to test the modular stack on real drives, I can prepare:

- Clean HAL example configuration
- Minimal README
- Reproducible test steps
- Fault and homing test scenarios


 

I currently have a Lichuan model OL57E-4A 4-axis drive and a Stepperonline model A6-750EC 750 watt servo drive set up on the workbench for testing, I can connect homing and limit switches without too much trouble.
Both are LCEC + CiA402.
The Lichuan manual is available here:  git.gitcoding.net/nwe/lcec_4x_stepper/src/branch/main/manual
The Stepperonline manual is  here .

I'd be willing to test drive your config. It might be a couple days till I find time.

I would agree with Tom here, that there's something basic wrong with the hal  or ini files.

(my guess would be no position feedback connection from the steppgens)

Solving the USB Latency Dogma for HMI/MPG: Technical Feedback Request

Category: Driver Boards

I think I need to apologise, I'm currently testing a working serial/USB setup.
Not simple IO, 1kHz loop 3-axis stepper real-time control.
But I can't quite believe it yet, still have a lot to test.

I actually wanted to try building something for the RPI serial port, small and cheap, but for development I have it on the PC with USB/serial, and the bloody thing works.

signal tool change complete with physical panel button

Category: Gmoccapy

Norbert,
Was the HAL pin for 'manual tool change confirmation dialog' ever implemented ?
I'm in the process of changing from par ports to mesa 7i92 and moving the PC out of the machine cabinet, as such my keyboard hack for a physical button on the control panel to press the 'Enter' key is no longer practical and with the larger amounts of i/p pins on the mesa card I would like to hook the physical button to a mesa gpio i/p pin and use that to clear the gmoccapy tool change dialog popup

now using 2.9.8 latest build

EMCO Compact 5 cnc Turret with dc motor and no feedback

Category: Advanced Configuration

No because i have no feedback! Its only a dc motor and a disc that rotats in one direction and if you drive backward it looks against a pawl.

Here the mechanism

 


The dc motor drives a planetary gear.. the gear drives a wormgear.. the wormgear rotate the disc where the tools are mounted.


do you have a better solution without any feedback?
its not a issue to drive it to tool one and set it as tool 1.

i had years before mounted a stepper and done it with O Codes.. but the dc motor which was original used is bettee because it hold against the pawl. With stepper there is small small movement on the tool because its not holded against the pawl like the dc motor it does.

dmesg_new looks better.
However, your vid and pid are incorrect.
They are from Stepperonline A6.
You must enter those from your servos.
vid according to manufacturer xml: 00000eff
pid: 0d3e0001 (not sure)

Note:
please use: dmesg | grep ethercat as root
sudo su
password
dmesg | grep ethercat
that's conspicuous

Are you using the "carousel" component, or any other, or python remap for the tool changer?

set the HOME_search/latch/final velocities to something really, really slow, that way you can see what part of the sequence is causing the issue while homing.

Category: Driver Boards

Ten years ago I mounted a 5i20 on a friend's lathe. I remember we used all four ports because he wanted to use the original switches for feedrate and other things. Now he'd like a spare board in case of failure. What can I use with four ports?

I tried more than 10 times in a row, and every time the pendant successfully reconnected. In other words, I cannot reproduce your issue. And unfortunately that also means I cannot be of much help to you.

It is a bit surprising that you get the same issue on two different machines, and I don't. Or are the two machines you tested on fairly similar? Could still be e.g. kernel version difference, I suppose. In case they have fixed some usb bugs related to this. It's a bit of a long shot, but I don't have anything better at the moment.
