[etherlab-dev] how to connect ethercat master to slave drive

[Jinyoung Choi]

hi all,

I'm quite bit of rookie in this motion control field.

I have servo motor connected to AX2003, so I tried to activate this motor
with EtherCAT master protocol provided by etherlab.

I compiled and installed ethercat master module and generic ethernet device
driver. (ec_master.ko, ec_generic.ko)

And HWs are like this,

EK1100
EL1088
EL2088

I connected ethernet port in PC to EK1100 coupler and connected EK1100 to
AX2003 slave drive with ethernet cable.

Atne then, I executed /opt/etherlab/etc/init.d/ethercat with start command
and I got these messages

[   43.502737] EtherCAT: Master driver 1.5.1 0f7a243b03e4

[   45.552005] EtherCAT WARNING 0: 50 datagrams TIMED OUT!

Slave respondings are not received and timed out messages are constantly
occured.

What is the problem?

Is there any configurations or files for slave devices?

I don't know how to connect my host pc to the slaves!

I can't proceed my work because of this problem.

I will wait for someone's rescue.

Best Regard.
