I use the EL7041 often. He’s a quick copy/paste of how I make it move to
position. The code snippet below writes to EtherLAB through a library I wrote,
but the tasks required should be pretty obvious.
Thanks!
============
static int
stateIdle(void* lp)
{
EL7041StepperInterface* p;
EL7041_ENTER(p, lp);
if (p->doMove)
{
p->doMove = false;
if ( !lcxReadPdoBit(p->pdoOffset + IX_READY) )
{
PRINT( "EL7041.%s not ready for motion. Cancelling.\n",
__FUNCTION__ );
return StateMachineRunning;
}
lcxWritePdoUInt16(p->pdoOffset + QW_SETACCEL, p->targetAccel );
lcxWritePdoUInt16(p->pdoOffset + QW_SETDECEL, p->targetDecel );
lcxWritePdoUInt16(p->pdoOffset + QW_SETVELOCITY,
p->targetVelocity );
p->fsm = &stateWaitWriteMotionParameters;
return StateMachineTransition;
}
}
static int
stateWaitWriteMotionParameters(void* lp)
{
EL7041StepperInterface* p;
EL7041_ENTER(p, lp);
p->fsm = &stateWriteStartType;
return StateMachineTransition;
}
static int
stateWriteStartType(void* lp)
{
EL7041StepperInterface* p;
EL7041_ENTER(p, lp);
lcxWritePdoUInt32(p->pdoOffset + QW_SETTARGETPOSITION,
p->setTargetPosition );
lcxWritePdoUInt32(p->pdoOffset + QW_SETSTARTTYPE, p->setStartType );
p->ton = TON_ENDTIME(100);
p->fsm = &stateWaitWriteStartType;
return StateMachineTransition;
}
static int
stateWaitWriteStartType(void* lp)
{
EL7041StepperInterface* p;
EL7041_ENTER(p, lp);
if (TON_ISDONE(p->ton))
{
/*
* ALERT!
* This command should start motion on the axis.
*/
lcxWritePdoBit(p->pdoOffset + QX_CONTROLEXECUTE, true);
p->ton = TON_ENDTIME(500);
p->fsm = &stateWaitExecute;
return StateMachineTransition;
}
return StateMachineRunning;
}

Subject: [etherlab-users] Controlling motor drivers
Hi, (Formatting was wrong on previous post)
We bought various Beckoff modules for Digital in , Digital out, Analogue in and
Stepper Motor control.
I am able to communicate with with the digital I/O and analogue input slave
modules from Ethercat master IGH 1.5.2 without problems, but the stepper
motor controller (EL7031) is more complicated.
Below is a list of the PDO entries for the motor controller retrieved from the
Ethercat bus using the command line tool with the cstruct option.
I am only able to set the velocity and then set the enable bit to start the
motor running. I have no idea how to command the motor to just turn
a certain amount of steps and change direction etc. I have tried to set a
counter value but it doesn't make a difference. Also, if I set the bits to move
positive or move negative, it doesn't change direction as I would expect. I
can't seem to find any documentation
or examples on how to control motors with this module EL7031. If anyone has
any information or knowledge , I would really appreciate your help. Thanks
