Hi, (Formatting was wrong on previous post) We bought variousBeckoff modules for Digital in , Digital out, Analogue in and Stepper Motorcontrol.
I am able to communicatewith with the digital I/O and analogue input slave modules from Ethercat masterIGH 1.5.2 without problems, but the stepper motor controller (EL7031) is morecomplicated. Below is a list of thePDO entries for the motor controller retrieved from the Ethercat bus using thecommand line tool with the cstruct option. I am only able to setthe velocity and then set the enable bit to start the motor running. I have noidea how to command the motor to just turn a certain amount of steps and changedirection etc. I have tried to set a counter value but it doesn't make adifference. Also, if I set the bits to move positive or move negative, itdoesn't change direction as I would expect. I can't seem to find anydocumentation or examples on how to control motors with this module EL7031. Ifanyone has any information or knowledge , I would really appreciate your help.Thanks ec_pdo_entry_info_tslave_6_pdo_entries[] = { {0x0000,0x00, 1}, /* Gap */ {0x7000,0x02, 1}, /* Enable latch extern on positive edge */ {0x7000,0x03, 1}, /* Set counter */ {0x7000,0x04, 1}, /* Enable latch extern on negative edge */ {0x0000,0x00, 4}, /* Gap */ {0x0000,0x00, 8}, /* Gap */ {0x7000,0x11, 16}, /* Set counter value */ {0x7010,0x01, 1}, /* Enable */ {0x7010,0x02, 1}, /* Reset */ {0x7010,0x03, 1}, /* Reduce torque */ {0x0000,0x00, 5}, /* Gap */ {0x0000,0x00, 8}, /* Gap */ {0x7010,0x21, 16}, /* Velocity */ {0x0000,0x00, 1}, /* Gap */ {0x6000,0x02, 1}, /* Latch extern valid */ {0x6000,0x03, 1}, /* Set counter done */ {0x6000,0x04, 1}, /* Counter underflow */ {0x6000,0x05, 1}, /* Counter overflow */ {0x0000,0x00, 3}, /* Gap */ {0x0000,0x00, 4}, /* Gap */ {0x6000,0x0d, 1}, /* Status of extern latch */ {0x6000,0x0e, 1}, /* Sync error */ {0x0000,0x00, 1}, /* Gap */ {0x6000,0x10, 1}, /* TxPDO Toggle */ {0x6000,0x11, 16}, /* Counter value */ {0x6000,0x12, 16}, /* Latch value */ {0x6010,0x01, 1}, /* Ready to enable */ {0x6010,0x02, 1}, /* Ready */ {0x6010,0x03, 1}, /* Warning */ {0x6010,0x04, 1}, /* Error */ {0x6010,0x05, 1}, /* Moving positive */ {0x6010,0x06, 1}, /* Moving negative */ {0x6010,0x07, 1}, /* Torque reduced */ {0x0000,0x00, 1}, /* Gap */ {0x0000,0x00, 3}, /* Gap */ {0x6010,0x0c, 1}, /* Digital input 1 */ {0x6010,0x0d, 1}, /* Digital input 2 */ {0x6010,0x0e, 1}, /* Sync error */ {0x0000,0x00, 1}, /* Gap */ {0x6010,0x10, 1}, /* TxPDO Toggle */ };
