Today I finally got the Beckhoff Ek1100 running under linuxcnc with ethercat


. It was a steep sloop to go on, but I finally got it . I had a lot of troubles with broken links and such under installation, so it ended up with like 15 reinstalls. and then, like a grenade hit the new image was uploaded and most of the things worked a lot smoother:)btw if any out there knows how to send commands from the ek1100 to the cx unit plz write some info:) or else it will just be controlled via outputs.. if its a lost course i am planning to run the cx unit as a normal plc instead. it will run transmission/gears and spindle, lights and such.
Have a nice day all
