<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>First, I should say I am new to both EtherCAT and
CAN so please excuse and correct any misunderstandings.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We are trying to get an ELMO SoloGuitar drive
working using CoE. We have installed the EtherCAT master and can get
a response from the ELMO drive. The responses to "ethercat master",
"ethercat slaves" and ethercat sii_read -v" is shown below.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The command "ethercat sdos" give the full list
of SDO commands from the dictionary. We can read from and write to
these OK and can enable and disable the drive successfully. I am happy
that the SDO commands work fine.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Using the SDO commands we can see the default PDO
mappings. However, when we do "ethercat pdos" the result is nothing.
We have tried to write software to map the PDOs but cannot get a response
either.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How do we make the master know about the PDO
mappings.?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We have vendor produced XML file. Can we load
this in some way? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If so how please?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you in advance,</FONT></DIV>
