Speed profile problem while using LINuxCNC EtherCAT

Hello.
Using LinuxCNC and EtherCAT module, we ask you a question about the problem of the speed command during feeding while driving the gantry test bed.
The system was configured using a DELTA ASD-A2 motor and drive.
There is a problem that the abnormal signal is periodically reflected in the speed profile when the speed is commanded.
Please check picture 1 for the error.
Please check picture 2 for information on the OS you are using.
Picture 3 is the latency test picture.
Please refer to the gantry.ini file for the file used for LinuxCNC setting.
Is there any way to solve the periodic error like picture 1??

Please help.

Thank you

this is very old kernel .....

do you use DC Clocks? Is the ethercat interpolation time in the delta amplifiers set to 1ms?

to get the right view, i need hal and ethercat_conf files.

Hello.

I'm not sure if we're using DC Clocks or not.

EtherCAT configuration file has been uploaded.

Thank you for your confirmation.

Dear db1981.
We will upload the entire dmesg file you requested.EtherCAT dmesg related contents are as follows.

Is there any solution...And if the current kernel is not stable to use EtherCAT, can you recommend a combination of OS and RT kernel?

please check.

thank you

there could be timing errors...

I haven't worked with rtai since years. we dropped rtai support a few years ago in the lcec....

do a try with uspace preempt rt, If you compile lcnc by yourself you have also the option to install the "add-task-pll-functions" patch from the lcec repository, this will give an better timing performance.

If you use master / 2.9. the patch is already included.

dear db1981.

Thank you for answer.

I will try reinstalling using the uspace preempt rt you mentioned.

Afterwards, I will test using the refClockSyncCycles="-1" setting.

If I have any questions during the process, I will ask them in the relevant post.

Thank you very much.
