Yes, as far as i can recall.

Just a general question. Does a mixed system work? Put the basics on the Mesa card and, if needed, extend with Ethercat?

Can you power off the machine and leave only Mesa powered?

I found the following in the generic xml file from the Stepperonline site:
Warning: Spoiler!


I tried changing sub-index 1 to bit 4, and that sent a value of '16' to the drive.
Also changed sub-index 2 to bits 4&5, resulting in two HAL pins.  When I turned both of those on the drive reported "48" in the 'Enable Physical Output' field.

No output turned on.

Maybe there's some way to interpret this to figure out what the values are?

I did not try another LAN cable.
The machine and PC are grounded properly.
I dont have a DVM at the moment but as soon as I get one I will measure those.
I believe this is a software issue because even with qtplasmac not running I get the disconnected error every 45 seconds

Use a DVM and measure between Mesa 24V GND and machine case, in AC mode, while the machine is ON, post result.

Those seem like two separate issues, one remap is not doing OK and the other complaining about gcode, are you running the default "Linux CNC" gcode?

<pdoEntry idx="60FD" subIdx="2" bitLen="32" halType="complex">

does control the enable - or at least whatever that line in the object dictionary refers to.

I have no problem sending values to the drive, and can change the value by changing the bits and 'padding' in xml file.

What I don't know is which bit(s) - what value - the drive requires to turn the outputs on.  As I mentioned earlier I've mapped bits 1 & 2 to both sub-index 1 and sub-index 2 and turned both 'on.'  Tried the same thing for bits 16 & 17.

I guess I could just brute-force it and try ALL the 32 bits for botrh sub-indexes.

Ist die machine ge-erdet?
Ist die PC ge-erdet?
Beiden mussen sein.
Lauf gcode ohne die spindel (spindel auss geschaltet), pasiert die selbe fehler?

Sounds like host or 7I76E issues

Whats does

oops should be
Code:
<pdoEntry idx="60FD" subIdx="1" bitLen="32" halType="complex">

Also
<pdoEntry idx="60FD" subIdx="2" bitLen="32" halType="complex"> seems like it will control whether the IO is enabled or not

To test output , connect one output to your coolant in hal and see if it triggers.

ok, seems its like
Code:
<syncManager idx="3" dir="in"> <pdo idx="1a00"> ....... <pdoEntry idx="60FD" subIdx="0" bitLen="32" halType="complex"> <complexEntry bitLen="1" halPin="CW-limit" halType="bit"/> <complexEntry bitLen="1" halPin="CCW-limit" halType="bit"/> <complexEntry bitLen="1" halPin="in-home" halType="bit"/> <complexEntry bitLen="13"/> <complexEntry bitLen="1" halPin="in-1" halType="bit"/> <complexEntry bitLen="1" halPin="in-2" halType="bit"/> <complexEntry bitLen="1" halPin="in-3" halType="bit"/> <complexEntry bitLen="1" halPin="in-4" halType="bit"/> <complexEntry bitLen="1" halPin="in-5" halType="bit"/> <complexEntry bitLen="1" halPin="in-6" halType="bit"/> <complexEntry bitLen="10"/> </pdoEntry> </pdo>

Keep the rest of the entries there. Things like status words are important
Also make sure the total bits adds up to 32, pad out unused ones
