Problems with Lichuan Ethercat servo drive

Category: EtherCAT

Lichuan says some Linuxcnc users have success with firmware 1.11 and others with 1.04. They have a windows program for loading the firmware into the drive.

The 7I78 has a PWM to isolated analog output circuit.
It does require an external 10V source. Normally the VFD
supplies this. (its commonly used for the potentiometer)

Can anyone shed light on why the CamBam Forum is down ?

Problems with Lichuan Ethercat servo drive

Category: EtherCAT

So having tried a dozen times to get this to work, the best I could manage was to get lcec_conf to load, showing the example pins only(show pin lcec.) I haven't managed to get servos to show at all using 'ethercat slaves', or in LinuxCNC itself.
I have tried RodW's config files and the LC10EV1.04.xml configuration file provided by COFHAL, to no avail.
For some reason my network port isn't letting me see my servos (4x400w currently plugged in), though it works perfectly well for install and other purposes.
No problems were encountered installing, or updating upto this point.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Did I see somewhere above that there was some configuration software available from Lichuan?

Two subroutines that may get called prior (but don't at first run when the spindle has no tool):
