[Etherlab-users] motion control

[ckkart at hoc.net]

Hi Sebastien,

thank you for your answer.
One more question: are standard commands for typical slaves defined 
whithin EtherCAT? In my case the slaves are servo motor drives. Are 
there standard commands, e.g. for positioning, setting 
speed/acceleration or is this vendor specific?

Regards, Christian
