Hi,
We have been using EtherCAT master 1.5.2 for about two years. We have
successfully implemented 4 machines. Each has 5 Kollmorgen AKD servo
drives and some Beckhoff IO modules.
Now we are implementing a new machine. On this machine we usually get
the following messages:
...
"system2count() error: system_time_base less than system time
(system_time_base: -58905492552780, time:680659495658"
"system2count() error: system_time_base less than system time
(system_time_base: -58905492552858, time:680660495658"
"system2count() error: system_time_base less than system time
(system_time_base: -58905492552936, time:680661495658"
"system2count() error: system_time_base less than system time
(system_time_base: -58905492553014, time:680662495658"
...
We implemented our system based on the *rtai_rtdm_dc* example. Only main
difference is, we use kernel modules with RTAI instead of LXRT user mod.
We are using "cyclic positon" (8) mode with distributed clock.
We choose the first DC capable device as the reference clock by calling
*ecrt_master_select_reference_clock(master, 0);
*The first node on the bus is a AKD servo drive.
The error occurs from the startup and not disappear until we reboot the
PC and the drives.
When the error occurs, it seems sometimes drives can't update the new
position reference. Therefore, if it is moving, it tries to stop for one
sample and continues to the new reference at the next sample.
This causes a loud "knock" sound on the machine.
We didn't get this message with previous 4 machines.
We tried different FW versions of the AKD drives. Also tried to change
the bus node order of the drives. But nothing changed.
Do you know what can be the cause for this message? How can we fix the
problem?
Best regards,
Oguz.
