Unnamed CATIO-A Device Configuration (help!) was created by MTate01

Unnamed CATIO-A Device Configuration (help!)

Category: EtherCAT

I am trying to get an un-named, un-branded etherCAT IO module to work - the company I work for had picked it up some years ago for a project that fell through. I don't have an ESI for the board, and so I am trying to rely on what i can read from etherCAT. attached are images of the device with a switch and LED wired (next problem) 

here is my output of ethercat xml -p1:
?xml version="1.0" ?>
<EtherCATInfo>

and so i tried to add it to my ethercat-conf.xml file as such (the following is an extract from a working config):
<slave idx="1" type="generic" vid="0x00090588" pid="0x00109252" configPdos="false">
   <syncManager idx="2" dir="out">
     <pdo idx="1600">
       <pdoEntry idx="7000" subIdx="01" bitLen="8" halPin="imcio-do0" halType="bit"/>
     </pdo>
   </syncManager>
   <syncManager idx="3" dir="in">
     <pdo idx="1a00">
       <pdoEntry idx="6000" subIdx="01" bitLen="8" halPin="imcio-di0" halType="bit"/>
     </pdo>
   </syncManager>
  </slave>
I tried adjusting configPdos to true, as well as false with as little provided information as possible... still won't enter SAFEOP or OP state and instead errors out and back to PREOP E. here is the output from halcmd dmesg -w:
[270386.928285] EtherCAT ERROR 0-1: Failed to set SAFEOP state, slave refused state change (PREOP + ERROR).
[270386.929285] EtherCAT ERROR 0-1: AL status message 0x0017: "Invalid sync manager configuration".

Can anyone help me with configuring this module?

Smart Serial Comms Error - Since upgrade to 2.9.4

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

Hi All
I've had to rebuild my machine after an SSD failure, and decided to move into the future.
I installed 2.9.4 and copied in my machine config files, everything worked out an issue initially but with in a few minutes I started getting the following errors
 

The latancy seems ok, running for a long time with glxgears and watching video via youtube and copying larger files

I'm running a bit file which might be old, PCW made it up for me at least 4 years ago

Howdy!

I've made some progress the last couple of days with the retrofit. Mainly around the control panel design.

I received a secondhand 27" ELO touchscreen in the post, which I got for an absolute steal. Yet to power it up, but it was sold as functioning and the drivers work on linux. The new control panel is based around this screen and the gmoccapy gui, with a handful on hardware controls I've deemed necessary from the Heidenhain. I'd also like the panel to rotate around to aid interaction while standing in front of the bed/doors. I've orientated the screen vertical, as it's bloody huge.

Attached are some screen grabs of the CAD model. It's designed to take the MX Cherry style switches. Looks like a few of you have used them and I'm a sucker for a "clicky" button. One MPG, e-stop, usb jack, all the usual suspects etc. Control enclosure is to be fabricated from 80x25x3mm aluminium channel for the perimeter frame and cnc routed 3mm sheet for the front and rear panels. I'll glue this together with the TIG and send it out with the next client job batch for powder. 

I also received a Delta 11kw VFD. Again, it was removed from a working machine and was considerably better value than a new one. Dug out a Omron encoder that was leftover from another project that never saw life. Planning to use this on the spindle.

Cheers,

J
