[etherlab-users] Copley CoE issues

Hi,

 

You should probably start by setting the master to debug level 1, either via
"ethercat debug 1" on the command line or setting
MASTER_ARGS="debug_level=1" in the service configuration file.  This should
tell you more of what's going on behind the scenes at the time the failures
occur.

 

There's been some discussions recently about CoE failures caused by trying
to do certain things too close together, or while the master is doing
certain background operations.  There are some patches floating around for
some of the issues but they haven't been integrated into mainstream yet, and
it's hard to say which of them might help you with this issue without seeing
the more detailed logs.

 

Regards,

Gavin Lambert

Subject: [etherlab-users] Copley CoE issues

 

Hi All,

 

I am having some issues with CoE on my Copley Accelnet controllers.  CoE
reads seem to be working fine, but CoE writes work sometimes, but most of
the time they do not.  So, first the setup.

 

Linux imcs-ecat-450 3.2.21-xenomai-2.6.2.1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Oct 18
14:13:46 CDT 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Realtek NIC

Etherlab is latest in 1.5 stable branch

Running in user land

78 ethercat slaves, 24 of which are single axis copley controllers.  The
rest are Beckhoff I/O.

 

The operations to the Copley I am testing are get/set acceleration and
velocity.  The get operations work reliably.  The last message in the dmseg
dump below is displayed when the write fails, which is most of the time.
What's weird is once the write operations start working, they keep working.
