Not like that. Don't change anything in this line "rapid = (float(value) / 100) * self.factor"
If you have updated linuxcnc it is possible that it will work.
You should have checked if there is a line "self.factor = 1.0" in the global variables section, as in the screenshot

Have a look here:
forum.linuxcnc.org/post-processors/52105...iemens-nx-cam#296450

I guess you could verify by checking the value of the 'orient.0.mode' pin.

Thank you,Aciera. I just followed the pin guide map in the following link wiki.linuxcnc.org/uploads/orient.svg , I dont know if I need to net the orient.mode and spindle.orient-mode,because it 's not mentioned in that link.

use this video for your refernce (). This video thay have the testing part for ethercat.

Besides the pins you were already watching also have a look at the 'orient' component pins:
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/orient.9.html

This should verify if you are getting any useful signal to 'pos-pid.command'

I see that you have not connected 'orient.0.mode' to 'spindle.0.orient-mode'. Not sure if the 'orient' component has a default value for its 'mode'-pin but you may want to make the connection just to be sure.

Note that I know nothing about the EtherCAT side of things at all, including the 'cia402' component.

Is there any postprocessor for Siemens NX to generate G-code compatible with LinuxCNC?

Success! So I added the missing pdo entry, and the two missing sync managers (with no pdos set) and now everything is working great. Attached my complete config. Working ethercat-conf.xml:

The .ui file is related to the handler.py file. You'd better check the official doc linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/gui/qtvcp.html  ,
in real enviroment ,you need also adjust your hal and ini file to satisfy the specific machine detail.

I updated linuxcnc, I edited the file as you suggested:

def slider_rapid_changed(self, value):
rapid = (float(value) / 100) * self.factor = 1.0
self.w.lbl_max_rapid.setText("{:4.0f}".format(rapid))

Now the error is as follow:


Traceback (most recent call last):

I think I already tried using "not" component, can you confirm this is right format?

I know nothing about EtherCAT, so I have no idea if you can get an inverted value back from the drive. What I suggested was using the built in HAL component called 'NOT'. For which you would need to use 'loadrt' and 'addf' commands and connect the input and output pins in hal.

try running this in terminal:

watch -n 0.1 ethercat slaves

however drives not getting to OP mode must have a reason. What hardware are you on? I have similar issue with RPI5 and generic driver. I tried faster servo threads, but developers told me, that generic driver is only good for 1 000 000 ns servo thread.

 

Hello zmrdko,

have you ever reinstalling drivers from default generic to other as e1000e or rtl8190too ? I did some questions about this problematic during early days of lcec at one of the first threads and guys told me that there is no much big difference between them...

but I should have calmer sleeping if there is right driver with the right hardware..

regards

Hi,Aciera,I've modified it following your suggestion.it seems to be still not working.before modifying ,the final value is always 0.2 and after modifying ,now the value jump over again in 0.2 and -0.2 .

Now, do I need to invert "lcec.0.0.drivestatus-0" ? How it can be done?
Maybe try the 'NOT' component:
linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/man/man9/not.9.html
 


I think I already tried using "not" component, can you confirm this is right format?
" 

I'm not really sure if ethercat is supported on the Pi5 as the Pi 5 was released just after Linuxcnc 2.9.1 was released
Can you try  using the pi5 image from the downloads page and burn the image to a SD card using Balena Etcher.
It has the ethercat repository already installed.
So then follow the Sticky I wrote in this section to install ethercat from the repositories
if that works, the issue is with your build.
