Hello, 0x8000 and maybe other entries as well just don't exists in the SDO Dictionary. If you want, you can manually upload all the entries by: e.g. ethercat upload -pX -mX -t uint32 0x8000 4 But you have to know the subindices and the type information. Look at: infosys.beckhoff.de Regards Wi

Hello Oliver, you might have an old firmware in the BK1120, which tended to be buggy. Please provide the serial number of the BK1120. Or, if you can readout the firmware version with twincat, provide that. This is how it looks on my system: ethercat sii_read -p0 -v SII Area: 08 00 02 00 00 00

Re: [etherlab-users] Using BK/KL instead of EK/EL

2010-10-19 Thread Dr.-Ing. Wilhelm Hagemeister
Hello Mr Haala, it is right, alle the KL are mapped in the the BK1120. Are you using handcoded C? Then a "ethercat pdos" should give you a list off all the relevant PDO's, which you have to map in your code. If you are using Matlab/Simulink generate a xml "ethercat xml" and use the generic sla

2010-10-11 Thread Dr.-Ing. Wilhelm Hagemeister
Hello Oliver, I'm afraid, I have to disappoint you. The Testmanager only works together with Etherlab or specially written C programm which has linked the Etherlab communication library. To access the Ethercat hardware you have to use the Ethercat command line tools like "ethercat slaves" W

Hallo Mr. Kotlarski, i have had "Trap vector: 14" with a Simulink Modell ones when I tried to access a vector-variable out of it's bounds. This can e.g. happen with the Simulink-"Selector" Block and external element indices. Divison by zero usually gets handled by the generated code from RTW.
