Unsupported Beckhoff module.

Hello.
Please help me figure out how to use the Beckhoff EL3068 module. I install this module but the system does not know this type and fails. Please show in detail, step by step, how I can make this module work in LinuxCNC. I specifically made a separate topic for this, because I think this example will be very useful to many people. Thank you very much for your understanding.

Fork my new repository  github.com/rodw-au/linuxcnc-ethercat
review the other drivers under the src folder
write your new driver
build a deb file and install with sudo dpkg -i
Send me a pull request to my repo and I can add it to the repository so all can share.

HI Sakhalin_Cat
i tried to build this xml see if it works,
in linuxcnc the pins are available, but i don't have the physically the device to see if it's OP
HI
 

Hello. Thanks for the answer. I need to understand on the example of at least one module, after that I can do everything myself. I am confused by some parameters that I do not understand. I posted the output of the program, please tell me where and what values ​​should be substituted in ethercat.xml

 

Output from slaves pdo - 

I'm trying to make a file according to the model, but I don't have enough understanding of where to get some parameters. For example, these are vid="00000021" pid="07500354" . I have not been able to read clear information anywhere where to take them. Please look at my file, there is an error somewhere in it, but I don't understand where. 

ethercat xml -p6 >  

After reading half of the forum, I found where to get Vid and Pid, but still the system does not work.

 

HI
your .xml gives an error on line 33,   </slave>   is missing
after that i tried with LCNC and it works,
the pins of EL3068 are available.
Try it too
HI

I downloaded the xml file from the site to take a closer look at what line you wrote. I didn't find this line. Maybe I changed the file to the wrong one during the experiments.
Please upload the working file back to the site so that I can download it.
Thank you.

HI
 here is the file that works for me,
I don't have the various devices that are in the file,
comment them and EL3068 is seen in LCNC
HI
 

Thank you.
