Hi Ralf,

I checked again with etherlab master. It looks my devices support it.

Then I checked from Beckoff site: I downloaded "EL20xx_EL2124en.chm" from, http://www.beckhoff.com/english.asp?download/elconfg.htm. In the "Basic Communication" -> "Distributed Clock" section it suggests these devices support DC. But it is not so clear.

I also downloaded the EL2xxx.xml with Beckhoff_EtherCAT_XML.zip.
There is no <AssignActivate> section for EL2008. But it does have this section for some other devices. I also checked EK1100 from the xml files. There is no <assignActivate> section for it either. But I remember that some users of the list using this device as the reference clock.

What am I missing?

Best regards,
(and selamlar :) )
Oguz.

By the way, here is the information I get from ethercat master:

ethercat slaves -v

Oguz,

I don't think that the EL2008 supports DC.
You can check it with the
ethercat slaves -pXXX -v

I have a EL2004 which shows:

ethercat slaves -p3 -v
...
DL information:
FMMU bit operation: no
Distributed clocks: no
...

If you have a DC-capable Module you can find the <AssignActivate> mode in the ESI-File (XML). You would find it in the EL2xxx.xml - File from Beckhoff if it would support DC.

selamlar
Ralf

Hi,

I want to use Distrubuted Clocks.
And to test it, I want to create a square wave on one of the digital outputs and watch it on an ossiloscope to see the jitter.
I'm using RTAI with kernel modules.

I looked to the dc_rtai_sample.c.
I don't have an IDS counter. But I have an EK1100 and EL2008
How can I modify the sample code to activate DC on EK1100 and EL2008

I know they support DC. But I don't know what to write to "assignActivate" code.

Best regards,
Oguz.
