Hi,
we have successfully used EoE with the etherlab ethercat master (stable
version, from some months ago) using switch ports to form a bridge and connect
to the machine running the master via ssh or to some remote machines behind
another switch port - no problems, works fine.
When asking LTI what the EoE interface which shows up when their drives are
connected to ethercat can be used to, they answered that one can use their
control program ("Drive Manager") to configure the drive without connecting an
extra ethernet cable.
So we configured it using a bridge and tried to connect to it via EoE using the
IP address that it uses on its ethernet port - but I don't get an answer to
pings or anything else. Sniffing on the interface with tcpdump shows nothing
gets there from the servo drive, RX packets on the eoexxxx stays at 0.
Has anybody tried to configure any servo drive via ethercat? Do they
perhaps/typically need to be set an IP address via one of these strange "Set IP
Parameter Request" commands that the etherlab master doesn't implement? Or do
they have to be sent some special command to listen on the EoE interface? Any
ideas?
