[etherlab-users] Beckhoff EL6001/EL6021 Issues

Firstly, I only have experience with EL6022, but the EL6001 is not much 
different.

Start with small steps:
Connect TxD to RxD on the slave with a wire bridge to create a loopback.

Initialization:
PDO mapping:
	RxPdo = 0x1604 (CW and OutData: 24 bytes) to SyncManager 2
	TxPdo = 0x1a04 (SW and InData: 24 bytes) to SyncManager 3

	SW is byte[0] of TxPdo
	CW is byte[0] of RxPdo
	OutLength is byte[1] of RxPdo
	OutData = byte[2..24] of RxPdo
SDO settings:
	0x8000:0x01 = 0  (disable RTS/CTS)
	0x8000:0x05 = 0  (disable transfer rate optimization)
	0x8000:0x11 = 10 (115200 baud)
	0x8000:0x15 = 3  (8N1)
CW.InitRequest = 1
wait for SW.InitAccepted == 1
CW.InitRequest = 0
CW.OutLength = 10
Data[0..9] = random

Cyclic:
CW.TransmitRequest = !SW.TransmitAccepted
CW.ReceiveAccepted = SW.ReceiveRequest
sleep 1ms

By setting TransmitRequest to be inverse of TransmitAccepted, the slave 
will continuously transmit 10 bytes which are received again due to the 
loopback, causing TxD and RxD LED's to flicker. If they don't, there is 
something wrong in your program! Try to get this working first.

The above program should be a 50-liner (or so) for the actual coding. 
You could implement this using state machines, but for a short test 
program, I would attempt without first.
