Hello I have been trying to get theses stepper drives configured along with a beckhoff EK1100 and have had no luck at all. I have followed the Ethercat step by step instructions and seem to have hit a wall. Any help would be appreciated. Attached is my pdos and ethercat slaves

The output of the command "lcec_configgen" is usually a good starting point.

loadusr -W lcec_conf /home/pi/linuxcnc/configs/sim.qtdragon.qtdragon_multi_joint/ethercat-conf.xml
Are you sure that is the correct path to the xml file?

That seems to be ok.
The error message is in the output from the linuxcnc command
 

And if you look in the ethercat-conf.xml you find the word BLANK
 

In place of BLANK there should be one of the hal types u32, s32, float-ieee, bit.
Have a look at the ethercat-conf.xml in this example I often refer to
github.com/dbraun1981/hal-cia402/tree/main/example
Modify both the halType and the halPin .

This example also shows how you use the cia402 component to
connect the servo drives to the joints.

the pin names in your XML are what are used in hal. Yours are completely different so it won't work. Bring them into line.

Okay first of all thank you for all your help with this, I am very new to this and have watched countless hours of youtube on ethercat and a having a hard time finding solutions to errors. I have another error 
Failed to register PDO entry: No such file or directory
LCEC: master 0 PDO entry registration failed

I want to thank everyone again for the help, I had lost hope on my project until now.

Let's see what the EtherCAT master writes in the syslog when you try to start linuxcnc.
Can you please post the say last 30 lines from syslog? Command "sudo dmesg | tail -30"
Only the ones from EtherCAT are of interest.
