Re: [etherlab-users] Configuring the Ethercat bus via xml

Hi Ali, Have you read sdos successfully already? Are you writing code using user space or in kernel space? Are you using a cyclic task? What is the purpose of ec_sdo_request_copy_data(sdo_server, data, size) on success? Are you attempting to read at the end of a successful write? That is not

Hello, I'm not familiar with TwinCAT, so I don't know how to do this. I installed the trial version from Beckhoff's web site, but I don't even know which of the several programs it installs I should use, and what to do then. I used TwinCAT System Manager for that step. Could you
