[etherlab-users] Enhanced mode for EL5101

[Graeme Foot]

Hi,

Did you figure out how to set up enhanced mode for the EL5101 modules?

Regards,
Graeme.

Thank you Gentlemen for your input.
I will try to make it work today.
I keep you posted with the results.

Subject: [etherlab-users] Enhanced mode for EL5101

Hello everyone,
I have prepared an application using an EK1101 and an EL5101, both from Beckhoff.
Everything works as expected.
Now I would like to use the enhanced operating mode of the EL5101 in order to get a 32 bit value for the encoder.
Despite many hours of searching and reading I haven't found a single piece of information in the Beckhoff manuals that explains how to do that.
Could someone give me a hint on how to enable the enhanced operating mode?
Thanks you.
Best Regards

P.S.: this question has already been asked in 2011 but it has no answer (http://lists.etherlab.org/pipermail/etherlab-users/2011/001390.html)

Hi,

I’m using the following pdo entries:

// revision 0x03FF0000 and newer
ec_pdo_entry_info_t EL5101_current_pdoEntries[] = {
                          // control (rw)
    {0x7010, 0x01, 1},    //   enableLatchC
    {0x7010, 0x02, 1},    //   enableLatchExternP
    {0x7010, 0x03, 1},    //   setCounter
    {0x7010, 0x04, 1},    //   enableLatchExternN
    {0x0000, 0x00, 4},    //   spacer
    {0x0000, 0x00, 8},    //   spacer
    {0x7010, 0x11, 32},   // setCounterPos (rw)

                          // status (r)
    {0x6010, 0x01, 1},    //   latchCValid
    {0x6010, 0x02, 1},    //   latchExternValid
    {0x6010, 0x03, 1},    //   setCounterDone
    {0x6010, 0x04, 1},    //   counterUnderflow
    {0x6010, 0x05, 1},    //   counterOverflow
    {0x6010, 0x06, 1},    //   statusOfInputStatus
    {0x6010, 0x07, 1},    //   openCircuit
    {0x6010, 0x08, 1},    //   extrapolationStall
    {0x6010, 0x09, 1},    //   statusOfInputA
    {0x6010, 0x0A, 1},    //   statusOfInputB
    {0x6010, 0x0B, 1},    //   statusOfInputC
    {0x6010, 0x0C, 1},    //   statusOfInputGate
    {0x6010, 0x0D, 1},    //   statusOfExternLatch
    {0x6010, 0x0E, 1},    //   syncError       // for revision 0x03ff0000
    {0x6010, 0x0F, 1},    //   txPDOState      // for revision 0x03ff0000
    {0x6010, 0x10, 1},    //   txPDOToggle     // for revision 0x03ff0000
    {0x6010, 0x11, 32},   // actual position (r)
    {0x6010, 0x12, 32},   // latchPos (r)
};

ec_pdo_info_t EL5101_current_pdos[] = {
    {0x1603, 7, EL5101_current_pdoEntries + 0},
    {0x1a04, 18, EL5101_current_pdoEntries + 7},
};

ec_sync_info_t EL5101_current_syncs[] = {
    {0, EC_DIR_OUTPUT, 0, NULL, EC_WD_DISABLE},
    {1, EC_DIR_INPUT, 0, NULL, EC_WD_DISABLE},
    {2, EC_DIR_OUTPUT, 1, EL5101_current_pdos + 0, EC_WD_ENABLE},
    {3, EC_DIR_INPUT, 1, EL5101_current_pdos + 1, EC_WD_DISABLE},
    {0xff}
};


Using 0x1603 and 0x1a04 gives you access to the enhanced 32 bit data.  However, I have not figured out how to actually put it into enhanced mode, which is required if you want to use the distributed clock.

Also of note, the above pdo configuration is for revision 0x03FF0000 and newer modules.  For revision 0x03fe0000 and older modules three of the entries are different:

    {0x1C32, 0x20, 1},    //   syncError     // for revision 0x03fe0000 and older
    {0x1804, 0x07, 1},    //   txPDOState    // for revision 0x03fe0000 and older
    {0x1804, 0x09, 1},    //   txPDOToggle   // for revision 0x03fe0000 and older


Let us know if you figure out how to set up enhanced mode for the distributed clocks.


Regards,
Graeme.
