Some notes: * The system is working perfectly on TwinCAT
TwinCAT relies on the XML-Files and the IgH Ethercat master relies on the SSI content. If the content is wrong or data is missing it will not work.
* As I got no PDOs from the ethercat tool, I coded one from the info I got in TwinCAT I found the info that the issue can be related to a wrong SII / EEPROM info and tried to follow the info in the link below. Unfortunately did not help. * https://etherlab.org/en/ethercat/faq.php So my questions are: * Is the problem really due to the missing/corrupted data in the SII/EEPROM
Probably. Does "ethercat sii_read -p1 | od" work and if so could you post the output of this command (assuming it is slave 1 you are interested in)?
* If yes, how can I check that the binary file generated with TwinCAT is correct ?
It most likely will be correct.
* Is there other way to update the SII
Some slaves simulate the SII content and can't be updated.
Any idea, suggestion, proposition are welcome 😊.
Most likely you will need to contact the supplier and ask for the correction of the SII content. Suppliers sometimes tend to refuse to cooperate and will say: "it works with TwinCat".
In that case the last step is to ask if the slave is checked against the conformance test tool from ETG.
