Hi,
We ran into some problems using ethercat_mbg together with the TwinSAFE
loader and found some stuff that may be of interest to others aswell:
This setup does work:
0 0:0 PREOP + EK1100
1 0:1 PREOP + EL6910, TwinSAFE PLC
while this setup does NOT work (fails with a timeout when using loader with
--list):
0 0:0 PREOP + EK1100
1 0:1 PREOP + EL6910, TwinSAFE PLC
2 0:2 PREOP + EK1110 EtherCAT-Verl�ngerung
I checked what was happening with wireshark when using the twincat
master+mbg, and compared it to what I saw whilst using the ethercat
master+mbg for etherlab.
1. With twincat I see that when a request is done to the master via the mbg
it responds with a Cnt value (bits [4-6] of last byte of the mailbox
header) of 0. With etherlab mbg this value is increasing with each next
message, which also seems to be fine. I could not find in the spec Graeme
used (
https://www.ethercat.org/memberarea/download/ETG8200_V1i0i0_G_R_MailboxGateway.pdf)
what it should do.
2. When a request is done to the master via the mbg a response shorter than
16 bytes will be zero padded to make it equal to 16 bytes with twincat mbg,
etherlab mbg simply sends a shorter message, which also seems to be fine.
3. A difference of more importance: There is a discrepancy between the way
the Cnt value is updated for the two different master+mbg combinations. In
some situations this causes a timeout because the request Cnt (coming from
the loader) is equal to the slave Cnt value, which the slave will ignore
and thus a timeout occurs. I have added the raw data tracing for both the
master+mbg combinations if anybody is interested.
I'm not quite sure where to properly fix this, and am thus asking for some
advice/help.
For now I made a retry work-around in the CommandMbg class which simply
retires once with a different Cnt value in the request (Cnt-1 and wrapped
to 1-7) which "solves" the problem. I have attached it as a patch.
I myself would like a clean fix however. If somebody could point me in the
right direction I would be grateful.
Kind regards,
Mark
