[Etherlab-users] motion control

[ckkart at hoc.net]

Dear all,

I apologize for a possibly naive question. I need to build a motion 
control system based on 4 servo motors for a scientific project. We 
already picked motors and EtherCAT drivers (KEB COMIVERT S6K) and while 
trying to understand how to control the drivers by a PLC I came across 
the etherlab project. Do I understand right that I could talk directly 
to the drivers from a RT linux and control the movement of the motors? 
If yes, could you guide me in the right direction?

Best regards, Christian
