[Etherlab-users] dynamic PDO unmapping

Fri Sep 18 09:40:31 CEST 2020

Hi Graeme,

I think it’s a good idea to split input and output into two different domains. My drive is probably able to do that.
On the other side, I can’t swap the drive into velocity mode directly because swapping can only be done when drive is in the state « switch on disabled ». So I need to stop the drive, swap mode and restart the drive, it is not very safety either.

Hi Vincent,

Some further thoughts:

- If your drive can handle splitting your input PDOs and your output PDOs into two different domains (i.e. put the drives inputs into your common domain and the drives outputs into its own domain that can be stopped) then you can still read your drives status while not sending the outputs.  The input domains watchdog can then probably also remain active and the drive can handle a communication loss.

- If you can map the operation mode request index/subindex (and maybe target velocity, updated from your actual velocity) into your drives output PDO as extra items, then you could continue all PDO communications (from a common domain) and swap the drive into velocity mode and let the drives internal controlled stop routine decelerate the motor.  You then also shouldn't need a custom routine installed on the drive.

Of course none of these options are actually safety rated as they all rely on the EtherCAT master doing something.  It might still be worth investigating further a drive logic only solution (maybe similar to the second option above, but where the slave logic puts the drive into velocity mode, so the torque from the PDO may be ignored anyway).

Regards,
Graeme.

Dear All,

Thanks a lot for your help. I placed servo drive slave into its own domain. Obviously I needed to desactivate heartbeat.
It may not be the best solution but it works....

Hi,

I think that it would be preferable to stop the drive without breaking/modifying the EtherCAT communication, so that you can continue to monitor the drive when it is stopping.

Which servo drive do you have ?

If you have a Kollmorgen AKD,

- You can configure DRV.DISMODE to trigger a controlled stop when the drive is disabled. In this case you can stop the motion by disabling the drive with the ControlWorld Object (0x6040:0x0),

- You can also trigger a MACRO with a digital input. In this case it opens many other possibilities.

Regards,
