[etherlab-users] Fwd: Problems using ethercat-1.5.2 with Yaskawa Servopack

Hello everyone,

We are trying to integrate IgH ethercat master (1.5.2) with Yaskawa
Servopack. For the moment, basic ethercat PDO communication seems working,
but after writing a desired target position to the drive, the motor didn't
more. Below are detail descriptions.

System setup:
IgH ethercat master
master <---> DIO <-----> Servopack

Domain1 is used for DIO, and we have separeded a domain2 for write
operation, and a domain3 for read operation for Sercopack.

After initialization, all slaves are in OP mode. The servopack should be
working in the default mode (Cyclic Sync Position mode).

Test steps:
0. reading statusword=0x270
1. write controlword: 0x06
2. write controlword: 0x0f (now the servo is on, motor is locked)
3. test by reading statusword=0x237 (is this correct?)
4. actual posotion can be read==> get encoder value OK
5. write target position ==> nothing happened....????
6. servo-unlock by writing controlword: 0x06 (servo unlock)

Some questions:
1. Why writing the target position value didn't work? Other PDOs seem
working?
2. statusword = 0x237, but bit12 indicates: target value ignore??? (does
this mean anything?)
3. Or, there are other procedure for start-up the servopack?

Other tests: The drive can perform jogging by SigmaWin. (wiring is OK)
Is there anything missing? or what are the other testing sequence we can
try?
Thank you very much.
