I implemented an Ethercat master for linuxcnc and the messages sent in the frames are CANopen. In Ethercat message is sent by master only and changed while "shifted" thru the other devices.
Basically there is a need to insert CANopen messages into the messages at least for configuration purposes and this is the reason I want to add a standard gateway. It may also make sense if Linuxcnc is used for ordinary CANopen network. 2018-02-22 2:29 GMT+01:00 John Dammeyer <[email protected]>: > Honestly I'm still confused. > I know what TCP/IP gateway can be as an interface to all kinds of physical > devices or networks. > I understand that LinuxCNC is used to control machines. > > I have no idea what a "standard configuration software" is. > > I've suggested that a tool changer could be built or rebuilt to use CANopen > devices. > > There are some nice modular Touch Screens available that use CANopen or > J1939.
