Documenting my journey through ethercat config. was created by Babymomoh
My background:
i am working as electrical panel maker for cnc machines for wood routers since 2 years for a company near me as a part timer, or you can say whenever they have a new order. they have been using cheap parallel port card with mach3. Now the computers with parallel ports being scarce they wanted me to find them something that is cheap, reliable, and something somewhat latest in technology.
This is how I came across linuxcnc. although i knew about it long ago, but never had the chance to work on it. also i couldn't acquire mesa cards till today. so i decided to work on ethercat instead of going for specific hardware.
Hardware i am using:
XINJE DS5C1 Drives for axis
EK1100, EL1008, EL2008, EL4002 Beckhoff ethercat modules for input output.
