[etherlab-users] using thermocouple el3318

[Luis Matos]

hi there!

Thanks for the feedback. Of course ... saying that simply don't work, 
does not help debugging, agreed.
The slave was in OP state.

Last night we attached the slave to a CX8090 PLC and used it in twincat. 
It was configured by system manager and now it works ok, even when we 
reset it to the factory defaults.
Your configuration parameters are in line with what we had.
(even tough we make single calls with config_sdo_16 only to the address 
80n0:19)
we are calling this:
         sc_dig_out_01 =
     ecrt_master_slave_config(master, PDO_POS(0, 3), Beckhoff_EL3318);
     ecrt_slave_config_sdo16(sc_dig_out_01, 0x8000, 0x19, 2);
     ecrt_slave_config_sdo16(sc_dig_out_01, 0x8010, 0x19, 2);
     ecrt_slave_config_sdo16(sc_dig_out_01, 0x8020, 0x19, 2);
     ecrt_slave_config_sdo16(sc_dig_out_01, 0x8030, 0x19, 2);
     ecrt_slave_config_sdo16(sc_dig_out_01, 0x8040, 0x19, 2);
     ecrt_slave_config_sdo16(sc_dig_out_01, 0x8050, 0x19, 2);
     ecrt_slave_config_sdo16(sc_dig_out_01, 0x8060, 0x19, 2);
     ecrt_slave_config_sdo16(sc_dig_out_01, 0x8070, 0x19, 1);
     ecrt_slave_config_pdos(sc_dig_out_01, EC_END, slave_3_syncs);

we only select the thermocouple type.

We could not reproduce the previous behaviour yet.
We are expecting another EL3318 to arrive, when it does, we will try to 
check what configuration are we missing, compare the configurations and 
report back.

Thanks
Luis Matos
