hey i got it working... wasnt that hard as i thought...

here my solution...

the ethercat.xml file first... thats the easy part...

<masters>
  <master idx="0" appTimePeriod="1000000" refClockSyncCycles="1">
    <slave idx="0" name="EK1100" type="EK1100"/>
    <slave idx="1" name="EL1018_1" type="EL1018"/>
    <slave idx="2" name="EL1018_2" type="EL1018"/>
    <slave idx="3" name="EL2024_1" type="EL2024"/>
    <slave idx="4" name="EL2008_1" type="EL2008"/>
    <slave idx="5" name="EL2008_2" type="EL2008"/>
    <slave idx="6" name="EL2008_3" type="EL2008"/>
    <slave idx="7" name="3G3AX-MX2-ECT" type="OMMX2"/> 
  </master>
</masters>

with this you get all the pins into halshow

then you need to load the main ethercat stuff before the main ui... (ethercat.hal)

# ---------------------------------
# EtherCAT and IO HAL for LinuxCNC 2.9.4
# ---------------------------------

# Load EtherCAT configuration (User-space only!)
loadusr -W lcec_conf ethercat-conf.xml
loadrt lcec
addf    lcec.read-all            servo-thread
addf    lcec.write-all            servo-thread

then go to your machine halfile and add the nets and pins

#*******************
#  ETHERCAT SPINDLE - Ethercat mainstuff loaded with ini in ethercat.hal
#*******************

#Load conversions for speed and controlword
loadrt conv_float_s32 count=1
loadrt conv_float_u32 count=1
addf conv-float-s32.0 servo-thread
addf conv-float-u32.0 servo-thread
#Load mux2 for controlword
loadrt mux2 names=mux2.spindle-enable
addf    mux2.spindle-enable        servo-thread

#mux2 section
#Spindle OFF
setp mux2.spindle-enable.in0 10
#Spindle ON
setp mux2.spindle-enable.in1 15

#networking pins for start / stop

net pdnt.spindle.is-on => mux2.spindle-enable.sel
net spindel-conv conv-float-u32.0.in mux2.spindle-enable.out
net spindle-ctrl-cmd conv-float-u32.0.out => lcec.0.3G3AX-MX2-ECT.srv-cia-controlword
net pdnt.spindle.is-on <=  spindle.0.on  => mux2.spindle-enable.sel

#networking pins for speed

net spindlespeed spindle.0.speed-out conv-float-s32.0.in  
net speed_out conv-float-s32.0.out lcec.0.3G3AX-MX2-ECT.srv-target-vl
 
# ---Setup spindle at speed signals---

#sets spindle-at-speed true

this works for me

thanks again for all the done work in the past to make this so easy nowadays!

cheers miniwini

Is everything on the machine and the PC grounded?
Is that grounding good? This is very hard to figure out, but give it a try.

yes same powersupply same GND and GND from the IDC parallel.

the relays work when i power them and put GND to the IN pin.

This is what really pisses me off, Linux is the turnkey solution, not windows.
This my main PC has Ryzen 7 7700, RX6800, 96GB RAM, etc, i install Linux in about 3 minutes, reboot and use the PC as everything works.
For any windoze that would be at least 40 minutes to 2 hours for windows, another hour or two for drivers with many reboots, and then software for ... everything!
I play occasionally Doom Eternal on Steam, yet no drivers are required!!! 120 FPS @ 3440X1440 with RT on.
Edit:
Not addressed at you, unknown, addressed at the internet as a whole as everyone on the net keeps repeating that same phrase. Sorry i just noticed it might come as personal, it is not.

The project is on hold at the moment. Didn't want anyone to believe I was ignoring or not getting back to them. I'll update as soon as I can.

Hi dudes !i have a 7i92 .. on the gpio i have the IN from a relsy board.VCC 5V and GND are connected.GND is from 5V Powersupply and GND ftom the ID26 from the 7i92.Relay has a optocoupler.another relay has many jumper settings. i try both options no successhcan someone bring me back to the right route..? please

That requires you build customized M6 remap and subroutines to accommodate your desired functionality. The on screen graphics can be triggered with simple commands in the sub routines. Any specialized tools for instance that cannot be stored in the atc. such as a fixed spindle or large fly cutter for example that won't fit, you would currently have to add exceptions for those tools in the subroutines.

Thank God for that, I could just imagine what B.S. windows would add to it.

Hello Will,I am also new to the world of LinuxCNC and servos. It can be a lot to take in. I have been working on a Marco Reps clone box as well and have a thorough walkthrough for the process so far. I'm stuck on getting gantry mode working but it looks like you won't have that problem. I have also provided two config files. The modello config is setup as a gantry mode, but I have tried a probe basic config with 3 axis in trying to master/slave the gantry servos via RS 485 cable rather than in LinuxCNC. That should work for your system. You will still need to comment out various bits in the files regarding the LS510 VFD and the xhc-whb04b handheld controller if you are not using this hardware. I am leaving for vacation today but let me know how you get on.

I think I probably detected the source of these weird settings disabling jog. Guess it can just be the Config file. Nowhere else I can find a similar demonination of the pins etc.
I have to check this, but I started with a config file created by PC-Config and without MPG included.
Then I had PC-Config create a new one with a different name and copied the MPG related lines of the newly created .hal file to my existing .hal file.
But the config file is still the initial one (without MPG) and therefore jogging is disabled.
I will try this weekend to create a new config file with PC-Config, include the MPG and all data I know mean while. Hope to get it working this way.
