Hal to Registers. Come in, Registers. Over.

Hello

In my most recent project, I'm having trouble getting my ethercat joints to work.
Not exactly the rarest of problems, I know, but bear with me.

To illustrate the problem, lets look at the contents of the control and status registers, and then compare with the hal values driving/driven by them. You can see that:
lcec.0.hip.control* pins are non-zero, but the control register is zero.
Conversely, status register is non-zero, but lcec.0.hip.status* are zero.
This can't be right.
reid@charles1:~/linuxcnc-dev/configs/b3pr$ ethercat -p0 -t uint16 upload 0x6040 0 # control register
0x0000 0

reid@charles1:~/linuxcnc-dev/configs/b3pr$ ethercat -p0 -t uint16 upload 0x6041 0 # status register

Let me back up.

My OS is from the 2.8.4 iso. My latency and jitter are good.
I compile linuxcnc from source.

uname -a gives: 
Linux charles1 4.19.0-24-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Debian 4.19.282-1 (2023-04-29) x86_64 GNU/Linux

My Estun Pronet 04AEA-EC drives worked well in a previous lcec project, using the same hardware (WS, dedicated ethernet card, mesa card, etc) as I use now.
At that time, I built the etherCat master from source, and wrote a custom driver for my Estun servos.
This time around, I installed the Master from packages, using rodw's step-by-step on this forum, but I'm trying to use the generic driver, because I lost my old driver code in a catastrophe.

My cabling seems to be OK. Using the front-panel controls, I can jog the motors.
I can also use the ethercat command to apply a sequence of values to the control register, traversing the state machine into the enabled state, with the motor 'locked' on or off.

Here is a fragment of my hal file:
loadrt [KINS]KINEMATICS
loadrt [EMCMOT]EMCMOT base_period_nsec=[EMCMOT]BASE_PERIOD servo_period_nsec=[EMCMOT]SERVO_PERIOD num_joints=[KINS]JOINTS

loadrt lcec

“Calm down,” I told myself. “Inhale. Relax. Take a break.”
Start over.

Everyone on the forum seems to understand 'configuration' better than I do.

Suppose I buy a used servo drive on eBay.
My first move is to reset it to the factory settings, using the front panel and no software whatsoever.
My second move is to 'configure' it at runtime using the xml I feed to lcec_conf. I have dozens of samples to choose from on the forum, and it usually boils down to a pdo section, plus a dozen or so sdoconfigs. 
And that should do it, right? It's only so hard to tweak xml, and factory settings usually aren't far off. 

Or is there more to it? 
Do I need, for example, to start with the ESI file in Twincat, and pre-configure the driver in windows?
What happens if I skip this step?
Or, I should say, What can go wrong?
Is there an equivalent linux command I can issue, like "loadMfgXmlIntoDrive -p0", maybe?
I would think that the ESI values are pretty similar to the factory settings?  
What's going on here?

Too many trees, and not enough forest.

I can recommend you from beginning configure stuff over twincat3, check how it works and what is in the mapping PDOs and what is in the SDO at start up ... I attached below festo manual for cmmt which is very helpfull for starting on a green meadow...1 and 2 chapter is for IPC in the ethercat network thats are not usefull for you...  your learing stuff starting from 3 chapter in the .pdf

learn what is what, what is in which format, what is in which data format, what have to be setted up at startup etc... 

download .esi file from vendor site and put it to the " C:\TwinCAT\3.1\Config\Io\EtherCAT " in win machine with installed twincat3... 

there is active scan button and twincat will find your slave and it will get it to online... you have to active DC for synchro and deactivate lag monitoring function in encoder of slave ...after it you will control your slave and see what and how everything change in the online PDO... 

There you can customize the PDOs in a few clicks and hook up online in the fastest and easiest way without all errors around lcec and no eeprom overwrite in the slaves ... 

check attachement, learn how to over twincat3, create custom generic .xml for your slave ... if it is cia 402 format of control used db1981 

learn it no copy´n´paste it

Many thanks. 
It sounds like my understanding was flawed, so I'm going to try it your way. 
Twincat seems to be a lot like Mortal Kombat: an alien world with danger around every corner.
I managed to install it, copied the esi files, installed the ethercat driver, got it to scan, set up a project, and set up some pdos. I can watch them change in free run mode when I turn the motor rotor by hand.

I lost a lot of blood getting that far. 

When I 'activate configuration,' it won't let me because -- you're gonna laugh -- my CPU is too feeble. Does not support virtualization. 
So while I shop for (yet) another computer, can I ask:

Is it possible to configure my drive from free run mode?

When I replace the windows twincat cable with the linuxcnc ethercat cable, I see that 'ethercat -p0 pdos' shows the values I've set up in twincat. Does this mean the drive is 'configured' and ready for action in linuxcnc? (didn't get to that today).
The configured settings don't survive a power shutdown, though. Should they?

I am in a better place, but still have a ways to go.

they should if it was not configured or from default was different from your setup... 

You can prepared drive in many ways... I do not know what you like but I am prefering premapping it over .xml file and all stuff has in nice single pile... but you can create same bash script with premapping ethercat commands and run it just before you startup the lcnc like you have above... 

premapping over .xml file below - you have to tell slave how and with what you will communicate together -

PS

but twincat3 is really helpfull for one simple reason - startup section which showing us what is neccessary put to the mapping SDOs, in which format and in which position... see printscreen below in attachement ...

If you did know full syntax (what probably nobody from us), you can spent tons of time of configuring servo driver without any feedback..(as me, please do not repeat my mistakes) ... because drivers which I had in my workshop have not proper manual and nowhere nothing wasnt ... check my other posts too ....

Whew!
I read thru a hundred links, changed my code a hundred times, and eventually got it working. 
I wish I could say there was a particular 'aha moment' when I knew I'd fixed it, but I tried so many variations that I'm a little fuzzy on which fix, exactly, worked. 
Understanding the drive's 'startup' tab in Twincat certainly helps.

In the end, I scraped together a custom driver for my Pronet drives by cloning the Omron driver code. Personally, I find that the C code is more transparent than the xml, and my hal is much cleaner. Plus, it worked!

So now I have 6 out of 7 motors on my robot working! That's the good news. 

The bad news:
That last motor has a Kollmorgen AKD ethercat drive, and it uses the same register designations and state machine as my Pronets. 
I used Kollmorgen's 'workbench' app to set up the driver, and it jumped through every hoop, no problem. 
I checked that it works in Twincat using my PDOs and pdoEntries. 
Then I cloned my lcec_pronet driver into a new lcec_akd driver and, of course, it didn't work. 

Here is what I get when I start linuxcnc with the AKD drive:
reid@charles1:~/linuxcnc-dev/configs/lcec$ sudo dmesg

    PDO entry 0x6063:00, 32 bit, ""

That all looks normal to me. (I get the 'did not sync' message even for the working Pronet drive)

In the xml I use to start the driver, the dcConf and watchdog lines (which 'came with' the Omron example) are -required- for the Pronet driver to work. For the AKD, the watchdog line hangs the system (force reboot!) and the dcConf doesn't seem to make any difference.

By hacking, I've watched the control and status words as they go from hal to pin to register, and from register to pin to hal. The state machine gets stuck, though, at switch_on_disabled, so the motor never enables. 
(Using Kollmorgen's workbench app, connected thru a (separate from ethercat) service port, this seems to correspond to an internal software_enable signal that the fieldbus is supposed to preempt. ??)
The rest of the PDO entries don't update at all:
pos_cmd doesn't make it to register 0x607A and
Turning the rotor shaft changes 0x6063, but not the hal pin.

Any ideas?

Sounds like that pin need to be connected to joint.N.amp-enable-out

Thanks, Rod, but that 'software enable' signal is not a hal pin that I can just connect. It's a virtual signal referenced in the enable logic Kollmorgen displays in its workbench app. 

That said, my guess is that enabling my AKD drive will be 'easy' once communication is established. Getting pos_fb to change when I turn the motor rotor would be a start. 

I'm pretty sure I've got a better chance of getting help if I stick to the generic driver, rather than rolling my own, so I started from scratch again and, in the xml below, the group of sdoconfig's at the top exactly match the sequence shown in Twincat's driver startup tab, and the pdos in the syncManager section match that sequence.  This corresponds to the 'premapping over .xml' method suggested by Foxington on 9/12 in this thread.

When I start linuxcnc, here is (part of) what dmesg gives me (with ethercat debug 1). You can see that the  index, subindex, and size columns correspond to the sdoconfigs, but the data column seems wildly wrong.

The dmesg listing ends with the following, and I'd like to ask, again, if the 'slave did not sync' message is worth worrying about.

After linuxcnc starts up, ethercat slaves gives:
0  0:0  OP  +  AKD EtherCAT Drive (CoE)

Finally, can someone comment on the use of the "configPdos=true" token in the <slave> line?
It seems to me that, when I configure the PDOs explicitly using sdoconfigs, it should be redundant to configure them -again- in the <syncManager> section. 
(when I changed it, it didn't make a difference)

Thanks,
Reid

What do you get when you cross a black hole with a can of worms? 
A time sucking worm-hole to 0x0666:0.

I was about to burn out when I stumbled upon a sample AKD configuration on the Driver Forum.
It worked. It solved my problem. And it helped me to understand.
A grateful thanks to sockheaven for posting his work in the driver forum .

And to foxington. I can tell you've been there. 

I'm in a better place now.
