Amplifier Fault ECT60 Closed Loop

It's flattering, but you know, if you're happy with my advice, then I'm happy, really happy.

Sometimes I tell small lies to my mother to avoid her scolding, and I think this might be one of those times.

I run a small research lab in New York, USA, making medical devices. Because these are small machines, I’ve been able to build good systems with Mach4 and ESS, and I’ve had some success in production.

Now I have a project that needs a 6-axis machine. Mach4 can do it, but because of the natural limits with TCP, I started researching and discovered LinuxCNC with EtherCAT. I had heard of it before, but AI really opened my eyes — I could get explanations and answers right away, which gave me confidence to try this system for my business.

The challenge is, the information is scattered, and it’s hard to find a paid consulting service that fits my needs. Forums have been helpful, but I still can’t put the last pieces together. I’m not sure if offering to pay for help here would go against the spirit of the community, so I want to be respectful.

My goal is to build a commercial-quality multi-axis CNC milling machine, and to create a library of tested INI, HAL, and XML files for different motors and drives. This would help me design small, medium, and large machines with proven, stable, and affordable hardware.

If it’s okay in this community, I’d be happy to pay for the right guidance. Could You help me bring this project to completion?

Irrelevant, but i have a brother in NY, Zojz Visuals - 10 County Center rd White Plains NY 10607, and one in NJ.
As for payment, Andy once said and i agree with him completely, we need to think what to do with that money, so we do not have time for that. Or similar.
Having said that, it is really nice to compensate for help, makes life a bit more bearable.
Sorry for the rant, as i can not help much with EtherCAT, but i will help with anything else as much as humanly possible.

Sorry, I don't do consulting.
But I'm often here on the forum and, as I do for everyone, I try to help.

Ethercat has its fair share of startup issues and that's what many people need help with. But after the devices are configured and working, it's just regular LinuxCNC, with HAL files, INI files and all that. Now you know something about ethercat, Tommyimage missing /media/kunena/emoticons/smile.png and can jump in.

I know quite a lot about EtherCAT from reading here, but no experience, so i refrain from replying completely.
Tank you, Hakan.

Thank you all. I will study more and receive help to bring this knowledge to a commercial level. I'm happy to be able to do something.
