[etherlab-users] AL status message 0x0036: "DC Sync0 Cycle Time"

Thu Mar 8 14:23:22 CET 2018

Hi,

I'm trying to create an EtherCAT communication with an XMC4800, using IgH EtherCAT. I'm using 16.04 Ubuntu with 4.8.0-58 kernel. I downloaded the code from sourceforge and run the code (a bit modified, see attachment) found in examples/dc_user. If I use a loop frequency of 1 KHz all things go well (despite some datagrams UNMATCHED warnings). But if I increase the loop rate to 5 or 10 KHz I'm seeing the error in the subject. My goal is at least 10Khz succesful (withoul losses) communication. Below is the output I'm getting in the kernel log:

What am I doing wrong? Could you please offer me some advice, to achieve my goal?
