[etherlab-users] EtherCAT newbie - NXIO 100-RE

[Fuchs Clemens]

Hi Christian,

the application starts without any error.
ethercat slaves says, my slave is in PREOP state (see slaves.txt - how to get it in operational?).
In debug outputs I see, that frames are sent (containing my data) and received. The received frames mostly look like the sent ones and also contain the sent data (see dmesg.txt).
So I think communication is working fine, maybe the slave is miss-configured. I received a new configuration file from the board vendor but I don't know how to transform the XML to SII format to send it to the slave via the ethercat utility.
Do you have any further suggestions or do you see something strange in the files?

regards,
Clemens

Hi Clemens,

If you don´t get any error messages when you start your application the master is running. If not check the debug output and make sure the configuration looks the same like "ethercat pods" says. If you get no error you can check in the output of "ethercat slaves" if your NXIO slave is in operational state. If so you can receive and send data in the cyclic task by using the EC_Read and EC_Write macros that the master offers, and do whatever you want with the data. See in the html output of the doxygen documentation how to use the read an write macros.

Regards
Christian
