[etherlab-users] How to change the input and output Map(Yaskawa servopack)?

Hi,

You definitely need to use two domains.  One for the inputs, one for the outputs.  In my app I use three.  One for servo inputs, one for servo outputs and one for all other modules (that can have inputs and outputs in one domain).

For two domains you need to have two domain pointers:
  ec_domain_t        *domRead;
  ec_domain_t        *domWrite;

When making the ecrt_slave_config_reg_pdo_entry calls you pass the appropriate domain as required.

Then any time you would do something with a domain in your app, just call the function multiple times, one for each domain.

Eg:
ecrt_master_receive(master);
ecrt_domain_process(domRead);
ecrt_domain_process(domWrite);
...
ecrt_domain_queue(domRead);
ecrt_domain_queue(domWrite);
ecrt_master_send(master);


if you do a “ethercat slave –v” command, each module has an “Enable notLRW” status.  If it is “yes” then the slave needs separate domains for the read and write pdo’s.


Hope this gets you started,
Graeme.
