<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">We are trying to implemt a master on Linux to drive a Kollmorgen s300 drive and a Festo CPX pnuematic node.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Both devices (slaves ) appear to show the same symptoms of dropping into PREOP state as soon as our user code establishes a master connection, defines a PDO and begins to write data, regardless of the data.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The Servostar s300 shows errors F23 and N17 which relate to CAN errors which translate to -: Drive tries to establish communication, but there is no other node, or CAN nodes have different baud rates, bus cable defect, reflections because of missing or wrong bus terminators!, or </FONT><FONT COLOR="#1F1A17" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">CAN sync is not logged in, or CAN sync is activated, but is not sent synchronously from the controller, if at all!</FONT></P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#1F1A17" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have been to Festo (UK) and they could not resolve my problem and pointed to the Master as being at fault?</FONT>

<P><FONT COLOR="#1F1A17" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Have you any ideas please? We are getting quite desperate now!</FONT>
