Coming up with another problem:
When using toolchange with combobox toolselection and pushbutton, Toolchange gets completed.
Trying to jog with jog pushbutton afterwards, this error appears for any axis

Joint jog requested for undefined joint number=-1 (min=0,max=3)


Doing toolchchange Tn M6, jog works without problem
When a MDI command movement of any axis is done, afterwards jog is possible without error

Don't see anything wrong there.
To try to diagnose this, we would need to see
ini file
hal file
ethercat-conf.xml file
and last say 40 lines of ouput from the command "sudo dmesg"

Here you go, see attached. 

Change appTimePeriod as well. Lcec usually gives an error for mismatch with servoperiod, error somewhere after linuxcnc start command.
Are there any other errors in the window where you start linuxcnc?
Can you post the ouput from the "lcec_config" command?
I really only have two more ideas, try with sm sync and free run.
For sm sync change to assignActivate=100, and for free run test comment out the whole dcConf line/item.
If that doesn't makes things better I think you should hook it up to Twincat and get it going there.
 

I'll copy the debug output to a file and attach it...

Thank you for your reply. I have asked rtelligent for the correct manuals but don't hold out much hope for a response.

I completely agree that the two versions are so similar that they should "just work", but the ECRs disagree, hah. I'll try deleting the 6077 reference and cross my fingers.

I would post the code in question but don't know how to get it from the Linux mini PC out to a Windows PC so I can post it. I can post literally screenshots (via camera), if it's helpful.

The developer had me start LinuxCNC from a command window with the following command. I did, and will try posting the results here, but the forum is blocking me, saying that it has "too many links" (there aren't any):
/usr/bin/linuxcnc '/home/edmuser/linuxcnc/configs/BaxEDM-2axis-WireEDM/2axis-WireEDM.ini'
 

We discussed 60fe some time ago forum.linuxcnc.org/ethercat/50492-etherc...ligent-ecr60-outputs digital outputs.
What are the errors you get? Linuxcnc output and Ethercat output from "sudo dmesg"
Initial thought is that this drive should work with default settings, like the ECT60 does.

Here's a script for 6.17-rc1-rt1 that works for me on Mint 22.1
There may well be different dependencies on your system

 

unzip, chmod +x  then sudo

And yes, Debian does seem to have a talent for making awful RT kernels
 

6077 is actual torque which probably can't be read without encoders so delete it. Not sure about 60fe, I never used it.
I would get the docs from rtelligent for both drives. there isn't really much difference between the ECT and ECR aside from some I/O and encoders.
Sometimes you need to reset to factory defaults as covered in the docs.
