[etherlab-users] EL6692 pdo entries

[Westpfahl Jasper]

Hello,

I'm trying to send data from a windows twincat master to an ethercat master made in simulink with the etherlab target. I'm using a EL6692 bridge and have configured it using two windows machines with twincat. twincat -> twincat data transfer works. I have problems on linux though. I don't "see" the pdo entries that I configured. In the twincat software I can see them in the process data tab of the EL6692.

The interesting pdo entries should be below TxPDO 0x1a00 "TxPDO-Map", but they aren't.
when I type:

ethercat pdo

I get:

=== Master 0, Slave 1 ===
SM0: PhysAddr 0x1000, DefaultSize  256, ControlRegister 0x26, Enable 1
SM1: PhysAddr 0x1100, DefaultSize  256, ControlRegister 0x22, Enable 1
SM2: PhysAddr 0x1200, DefaultSize    0, ControlRegister 0x24, Enable 1
  RxPDO 0x1600 "RxPDO-Map"
SM3: PhysAddr 0x1800, DefaultSize   20, ControlRegister 0x20, Enable 1
  TxPDO 0x1a01 "TxPDO-Map External Sync Compact"
    PDO entry 0x10f4:02,  2 bit, "SubIndex 002"
    PDO entry 0x0000:00,  6 bit, ""
    PDO entry 0x0000:00,  3 bit, ""
    PDO entry 0x1800:09,  1 bit, "TxPDO toggle"
    PDO entry 0x1800:07,  1 bit, "TxPDO state"
    PDO entry 0x10f4:0e,  1 bit, "Control value update toggle"
    PDO entry 0x10f4:0f,  1 bit, "Time stamp update toggle"
    PDO entry 0x10f4:10,  1 bit, "External device not connected"
  TxPDO 0x1a00 "TxPDO-Map"


what I would expect is something like this (note the last three lines):

=== Master 0, Slave 1 ===
SM0: PhysAddr 0x1000, DefaultSize  256, ControlRegister 0x26, Enable 1
SM1: PhysAddr 0x1100, DefaultSize  256, ControlRegister 0x22, Enable 1
SM2: PhysAddr 0x1200, DefaultSize    0, ControlRegister 0x24, Enable 1
  RxPDO 0x1600 "RxPDO-Map"
SM3: PhysAddr 0x1800, DefaultSize   20, ControlRegister 0x20, Enable 1
  TxPDO 0x1a01 "TxPDO-Map External Sync Compact"
    PDO entry 0x10f4:02,  2 bit, "SubIndex 002"
    PDO entry 0x0000:00,  6 bit, ""
    PDO entry 0x0000:00,  3 bit, ""
    PDO entry 0x1800:09,  1 bit, "TxPDO toggle"
    PDO entry 0x1800:07,  1 bit, "TxPDO state"
    PDO entry 0x10f4:0e,  1 bit, "Control value update toggle"
    PDO entry 0x10f4:0f,  1 bit, "Time stamp update toggle"
    PDO entry 0x10f4:10,  1 bit, "External device not connected"
  TxPDO 0x1a00 "TxPDO-Map"
    PDO entry 0x6000:01,  64 bit, "Var 43"
    PDO entry 0x6000:02,  64 bit, "Var 44"
    PDO entry 0x6000:03,  64 bit, "Var 45"

I Also need an xml file for the simulink Block. I tried to generate it with

ethercat xml -p1 > EL6692.xml

but of course the important pdo entries don't show up in that file.

can anybody help me?
