I think that the dro control box section will likely soon become a user tab module that can be setup per the users requirement and kept in the config folder. seems too many configurations to keep up with otherwise and really taxes the ui build having to keep so many dro's running and active.

I will take a look and see what would be required for that.

So far, this method is not working well.
Nothing happens when I load the NGC. For now, I would like to try a different method.

I am considering creating an action button that retrieves the first WSC from the loaded NGC and sends it to the MDI. ...

If I am not mistaken then 600 vertical is not enough for the regular version, maybe this custom config for 800x600 helps:

Typically you want to use the cia402 component with such a drive.
The cia402 component is in your installation already, here is an
example of how to set it up in  hal.

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

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?

Pictures of your VFD connectors?
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.
