It's
lcec_configgen
and comes with the linuxcnc-ethercat package. It first appeared a year ago (April -24) so might be too new for your installation.

RTelligent EtherCAT Servo Drive Setup: RS750E was created by MTate01

RTelligent EtherCAT Servo Drive Setup: RS750E

Category: EtherCAT

Good day

I am currently trying to configure my linuxcnc to communicate with an RTelligent (Shenzhen Ruitech) RS750E AC Servo Drive. 

So far, I think I've correctly compiled an ethercat-conf.xml file for the single slave (for now) (from here) but am struggling with any further steps. I can successfully read registers (ie cia-controlword) and things like that, I can attempt to write them - by setting pins eg setp lcec.0.0.cia-controlword 15, but there is no change in cia-statusword. The same applies for opmode. 

Additionally, my drive never seems to exit PREOP. sudo ethercat states -p0 OP doesn't change state from PREOP. I figure that there is something I might need to do with registers, either in a specific order, or through the PC software (RSConfigurator), but the latter is rather confusing and i've had no success attempting such. I can change it to and from INIT (without errors) to PREOP (without errors), but as soon as I try SAFEOP or OP it stalls back to PREOP and has an error flag. I assume this means my XML might be wrong. 
I've also attempted to set up my ethercat.hal and changed the joint/axis info in my axis-edited.ini, but still no change occurs on the drive or servo. 

I cannot find any documentation on these AC servo drives from RTelligent here, but I will also be sending their support a ticket to see if they can help me. The appropriate files are below:

Personally, i would not update if everything is working properly, i still have plenty of machines running 10.04.
The main reason being, 10.04 uses RTAI kernel, while everything after Wheezy uses RT-Preempt kernel that is better suited to new PC's, so it might limit the step rate you can get/machine speed, sometimes a lot.
-
If you still want to move ahead, upload the old and the new configs here.
Usually the wizard will convert working configs form 2.5-2.7 to 2.8-2.9 without issues the first time you run the old config, so what happened? Does the machine have non standard ...something or anything?
Right click on the old .ini file, choose open with, type linuxcnc near the bottom of that window, click OK, what happens?

Not from the net, last week i dealt with two of the same make and model VFD that are not the same in any way, nor are the electronics the same.

Calling next subroutine messes up offsets

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

The 'F' word in the 'G0' line does indeed only apply to G1, G2, G3 moves. The F value is retained though and some of the first G1 moves in the subroutines are actually missing the F word which seems a bit odd but it works I guess.:
eg line N3620
N3570  (Engrave) 
N3571  O103 SUB
N3580  G0 X0 Y0 Z1.0 
N3590  G0 Z0.0
N3591  M01
N3600  G0 X-0.7617 Y-1.2343 
N3610  G0 Z0.8681 
N3620  G1 X-0.7617 Y-1.2343 Z-0.0500 
N3630  G1 X-0.7983 Y-1.2510 Z-0.0500 F70.0000


G92 affects all coordinate systems, this can be handy but it can also be a bit confusing.
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/g-code.html#gcode:g92


The difficulty I am having is moving from the end of the 4th position of the first subroutine back to the start (first) position of the second subroutine (o103) and repositioning the Z axis.


The first round (o100) is done with 'G92 Z0.75' while the second (o103) is done with 'G92 Z0.0'. It seems that there is no tool-length offset used (ie no G43). I don't know what your tool change work flow is but this would require that the tools used have exactly the same length OR the G92 offset is used to compensate for different tool-length, which would be a somewhat odd way of doing things.

Hi, the config generator looks like a helpful tool. I have one Rtelligent ECT60 stepper drive running and I now need to figure out how to add two Rtelligent RS750E AC servo drives.

I apologize for asking such a simple question, but I am not sure how to run the lcec-configgen. Maybe I don't have it installed. I am clearly inexperienced, so I could be missing something simple.

I appreciate everyone's help on the forum.

I've attached a picture of my terminal and my version of Ethercat. My linuxCNC version is 2.9.2

@Murphy I'm not sure if I understood, when you ping to change, are you talking about Ethernet communication? If so, what is the relationship between being able to upload Remora to the cloud? Sorry for my lack of understanding, I'm just trying to understand, because Ethernet communication is one communication, and CMSIS DAP via USB is not another? Or do I have to configure an address for the USB CMSIS DAP

Excellent! I just got my new mill converted to LinuxCNC, and was thinking that maybe I should tackle the gui before going too much further. Did a search to see how you were doing, and look! A new release. :-) I like the idea of starting with an axis-style gui -- after all, it's what I'm used to.

Looking forward to giving it a try!

ok so i for the most part got it working now, thanks jt pete and tom for the help! basically if i run the pwm module at 14v i get close enough to 5-10v to give me 12-24k rpm.
the last thing i just need to figure out is how to get the spindle to actually start. been trying to decipher a chinglish manual all afternoon to program this vfd. to be fair tho, it is actually better translated than the other ones ive dealt with. i can set the working frequency from linuxcnc but cant actually get it to start remotely. if anybody has any experience with a huanyang fc01, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Category: Qtvcp

I'm assuming this is just test code, as you could just set the paramEdit directly (based on the code you showed)

Typically I would use a callback (changed signal) from the lcdnumber or better yet a plain HAL pin to update paramEdit_MG_D.

while not STATUS.is_interp_idle(): might be better to try :
STATUS.cmd.wait_complete()

As an alternative you could use the HAL module to read the pins directly:
value = hal.get_value("motion.analog-out-05")

Hi All
i am starting to pull what little hair i have left out and i need some help
il start from the beginning , I have a hobby cnc it runs Ubuntu 10.04 and it runs ok but it is a pox 14 years old 
I would like to update to Debian 12  . I have set up a hard drive with this and have Been setting up the stepconf files.
i know there has been a lot of changes in 14years , I am struggling with the pin conf .i have the old files and have been working them across to the new but the estop is causing me grief is there any body that knows how the 2 systems are different . I dont mean in a big sense what i mean is in he stepconf system so i can see where i am going long thanks

Absolutely but I'm away with work for the next 3 weeks so won't be home until then to test. I hooked a multimeter up the output pins of the EC500 and could see the drop in voltage. Only happens in CSS mode. If I manually change the speed outside of CSS it responds straight away . When looking at remora.sp in halscope the signal is square and reacts quickly. During CSS, remora.sp tapers up and down (with x axis movement which it should) During the taper the voltage drops to nearly zero resulting in the spindle nearly stopping. Once the signal levels out(no more taper of the signal) it goes to the required speed.
