[etherlab-users] Accessing same PDO for both read and write

[Graeme Foot]

Hi,

 

I don't know the answer to the question, but as a workaround you could
set up reading the value via PDO and write the value via an SDO.
Writing via SDOs take approx 30ms for CoE. 

 

Regards,

Graeme.

Subject: [etherlab-users] Accessing same PDO for both read and write

 

All,

 

My client has a robotics system using Copley Controls Accelnet Plus
drives with a digital input-triggered capture capability that we're
trying to use for positioning calibration.  This feature requires the
ability to map the same slave CoE object for both read to detect the
capture event and write to subsequently rearm the trigger.  Mapping this
object to both Tx and Rx PDOs appears to work correctly from the PDO
mapping info returned from the master.  However, when I attempt to
register the corresponding mapped PDO entries in the domain, I get the
same domain offset for both PDOs, preventing the application from
managing them independently.

 

The ecrt_slave_config_reg_pdo_entry() function doesn't have an argument
to distinguish the direction of the PDO mapping, so is this capability
not supported by the master?

 

We're using the 1.5.0 release.

 

Thanks,
