Ethercat HAL driver

Chimeno,

My bechhoff boxes are becoming bigger every week !!

I have some drivers to share. Maybe open a new github channel for this.

Reid, Chopin...


Never give up !! Make your own driver in lcec.
Buy one of the working ethercat servo drives. Test this one. Compare it. And write C code.
Btw, i never used twincat. Beckhoff is visiting me next week. To look what i am doing.
I have no nucleair power plant. Only a cnc machine with some custom made c code.
So where is your power? It's in the community. Without them i was lost. With them we are great and powerfull !!!

Forget about twincat. I can sent you python based command's for reading out the ethercat manual chapters step by step.

Take your time. If i have more time i can look inside your issue. But only if i have the same servo drive at my place.

@rwistort,

Don't fall in the linuxcnc booby trap about the servo time thread (PID). Better is to use the base time thread with ethercat 0-1 nanoseconds if you want to be fast.

Hello Grotius, it would be nice to see the boxes inside, they must be awesome !! would be good the subject of github although I think it would be better to be able to integrate everything in the sittner github, the work done is impressive.
I just finished another Beckhoff module "EL6090" attached the files to add to the ethercat master,

Hello guys, I just pogramar EL6224, for now only for the functions dig-in and dig-out, works quite well. a greeting

@Chimeo,

A kind of bi-direction smart link. Was it hard to code this item?
When would you use this item?

Hello Grotius, is only programmed for the basic functions inputs, outputs, at the moment I do not have any module would be smart to add, I'm looking for some to configure it, I think it's not very difficult to program, I'm not an expert and I'm sure I have many failures , I want to use it to add different modules to make them compatible with ethercat, greetings
Chimeno

Hi,

I call Beckhoff for a few examples about this module next week !
I will ask if i can publish the price list.
