Ethercat HAL driver

Hello

I am writing this from Japan using Google Translate.

I would like to use LinuxCNC + EtherCAT.
Currently, the Beckhoff EM7004 can drive the servo motor. However, since the Z phase of the encoder cannot be used for Homing, I am thinking of changing the EM7004 to EL4132 + EL5102. Can the EL5102 be used with the EtherCAT HAL Driver for encoder input?

Since it is a machine translation, I apologize if it does not convey well.

Thank you .

Hello,

EL5102 is not yet implemented.

I am using EM7004 for Encoder Z Homing on two machines. I used an Signal Converter to convert the Z Signal from the glass scales to the 24V Latch input of the EM7004.

Thank you for your great advice.
I will try to find something similar in Japan.

Thanks

Hi it´s been a while since i was last online,
but i have not found the time to work on my CNC lately.

I have now changed all my motors and drives at my CNC to EtherCAT Drives from Rexroth.
I had in january/february a functional setup on my Testbench.

After the changes to 3 Drives and reconfig of my Hal.

I am able to Enable all of the drives, but they don´t react on jog comands or MDI comands.
When i try to move the axis by hand the driver´s immediatly corrects the positions.

i upload my config and hal.

maybe someone could take a look at it, if there are some errors maybe.

Thanks a lot.

I'm having the "same" issue with EL5112, it's missing from the library... is it possible to "bribe" someone to make it? I'm not clever enough myself

hello,

EL5102 and EL5112 are lieing next to me on the desk....
I need them for one of the next projects, i estimat i will do the drivers in the last week of june.
