Hi,
Please post questions to the
etherlab-users@etherlab.org<mailto:etherlab-users@etherlab.org> forum.
For simple slaves:
1) plug the slave into the ethercat fieldbus
2) run the "ethercat cstruct" command, with the -p parameter for the new slave
3) copy and paste the pdo structures into your code. (I rename mine with the
slaves product code for better reuse.)
4) to use a configuration for a slave use the following functions:
ecrt_master_slave_config()
ecrt_slave_config_pdos()
5) to get pdo domain offsets for particular entries use the following function:
ecrt_slave_config_reg_pdo_entry()
6) to configure slave settings use the following functions:
ecrt_slave_config_sdo()
ecrt_slave_config_sdo8()
ecrt_slave_config_sdo16()
ecrt_slave_config_sdo32()
7) if DC is supported use:
ecrt_slave_config_dc()
Note: you can find the assign active value from the slaves ESI
xml file or documentation.
For slaves with multiple configuration options:
1) locate the matching module and revision Device entry
2) check for AlternativeSmMapping options
Option 1) if the default configuration is the one you want, follow the steps
above
Option 2) continue with the steps below
3) check the RxPdo / TxPdo options that match the Sm Mapping that you want to
use
4) build your own cstruct's based on items 2 & 3
(this can be hard)
5) follow steps 4-7 from the simple slave
For slaves that allow custom pdo configurations:
1) get the default cstruct and if it doesn't have what you want modify it with
parameters that are allowed to be PDO items until it is
(you need to do a lot of reading of the slave documentation)
2) follow steps 4-7 from the simple slave
As for the EL3064, it is a slave that supports multiple configuration options.
I wanted to use the Standard configuration, which is the default configuration,
so I followed the "Slave with multiple configuration options, Option 1"
approach.
Regards,
Graeme.

Dear Graeme,
Thanks a lot for your great help - it worked!
In order for us not to bother you with emails, asking a similar question about
various Beckhoff slaves, could you kindly tell me: In order to come up with the
PDO structure you used for EL3064 (below), did you use an existing source OR
you conceived the solution from scratch yourself?
It will help us to know where this source is OR how you approached the solution
from the basic Beckhoff (EL3064) xml file. We want to know if we can formulate
the process rather than look at each case as a new one.
Thanks a lot again!
Best regards,
Sy Meshkat

Hi,
This is the PDO structures we use for EL3064 modules (available if you run the
"ethercat cstruct" command for your module):
ec_pdo_entry_info_t EL3064_pdoEntries[] = {
// Ch.1 (0)
{0x6000, 0x01, 1}, /* Underrange */
{0x6000, 0x02, 1}, /* Overrange */

};
ec_pdo_info_t EL3064_pdos[] = {
{0x1a00, 10, EL3064_pdoEntries + 0}, /* TxPDO-Map Channel 1 */
{0x1a02, 10, EL3064_pdoEntries + 10}, /* TxPDO-Map Channel 2 */

ec_sync_info_t EL3064_syncs[] = {
{0, EC_DIR_OUTPUT, 0, NULL, EC_WD_DISABLE},
{1, EC_DIR_INPUT, 0, NULL, EC_WD_DISABLE},
{2, EC_DIR_OUTPUT, 0, NULL, EC_WD_DISABLE},
{3, EC_DIR_INPUT, 4, EL3064_pdos + 0, EC_WD_DISABLE},
{0xff}
};
To configure it and use it you call something like the following commands on
startup:
slaveConfig = ecrt_master_slave_config(master, alias, position, vendorID,
productCode);
ecrt_slave_config_pdos(slaveConfig, EC_END, EL3064_syncs);
value1Offset = ecrt_slave_config_reg_pdo_entry(slaveConfig,
EL3064_pdoEntries[9].index,
EL3064_pdoEntries[9].subindex, domain, &bitPos);
value2Offset = ecrt_slave_config_reg_pdo_entry(slaveConfig,
EL3064_pdoEntries[19].index,
EL3064_pdoEntries[19].subindex, domain, &bitPos);
value3Offset = ecrt_slave_config_reg_pdo_entry(slaveConfig,
EL3064_pdoEntries[29].index,
EL3064_pdoEntries[29].subindex, domain, &bitPos);
value4Offset = ecrt_slave_config_reg_pdo_entry(slaveConfig,
EL3064_pdoEntries[39].index,
EL3064_pdoEntries[39].subindex, domain, &bitPos);
status1Offset = ecrt_slave_config_reg_pdo_entry(slaveConfig,
EL3064_pdoEntries[0].index,
EL3064_pdoEntries[9].subindex, domain, &bitPos);
statue2Offset = ecrt_slave_config_reg_pdo_entry(slaveConfig,
EL3064_pdoEntries[10].index,
EL3064_pdoEntries[19].subindex, domain, &bitPos);
status3Offset = ecrt_slave_config_reg_pdo_entry(slaveConfig,
EL3064_pdoEntries[20].index,
EL3064_pdoEntries[29].subindex, domain, &bitPos);
status4Offset = ecrt_slave_config_reg_pdo_entry(slaveConfig,
EL3064_pdoEntries[30].index,
EL3064_pdoEntries[39].subindex, domain, &bitPos);
The module returns a value between 0 and 32767 (int16 value) to represent 0 -
10V. From that you can figure out your scale factor. You can use a LRW
(read/write) domain.

Graeme.

Subject: Question on use of EL3064 (Beckhoff ADC)
Dear Graeme,
This is Sy Meshkat with DSP Control Group. Rahul and I talked/wrote to you
about Yaskawa EtherCAT Sigma drive in summer of 2017. Thanks to your helps our
application is application is working fine.
Now, the question I have is weather you have any example of Beckhoff EL3064
Analog to Digital Converter as part of Linux EtherLab application stack. This
is a simple 4 channel ADC, but we couldn't find this hardware in IgH's EtherCAT
master's hardware.
Best regards,
Sy Meshkat

Hi,
I have attached a test app to have a look at. It is a (very) cut down version
of how my app works. Of course I use RTAI, so it won't be compatible with your
Xenomi environment.
In main.c at the top of runECat() I have a list of EtherCAT devices and their
addresses. It is hard coded here but can of course be loaded from a config
file. The device names match devices in the etherCATSlaves.c file.
etherCATMaster.c contains the code to configure and run the master.
etherCATSlaves.c contains each slave's code.
yaskawaSGDV_create()
- configures the device and gets the PDO command offsets
yaskawaSGDV_prepareToRun()
- calculates each commands address (after the domains are populated and
allocated)
- sets cyclic synchronous position mode (optional, the mode can be set at any
time while running)
- sets the control word to zero, just in case
yaskawaSGDV_run()
- is called once each scan. add code here to control the axis
yaskawaSGDV_prepareToStop()
- is called when the app is closing. add any code here to clean up your axis
Note: In this app the prepareToStop() functions are called once and then the
app is shut down immediately. In reality you should continue your realtime
cycle until all of the devices are stopped, disabled and safe to turn off. The
app also relies on some of my patches.
I hope this helps
Regards,
Graeme.

Hi,
I've been asked to let you know what master version and patches I'm using. I'm
still running an old version (2526 from the stable-1.5 branch, 12/02/2013).
The script I use to download it is attached (004-etherlab_master).
I use buildroot to create my linux system, so the script tar's the master
folder and puts it in the buildroot downloads folder. Note: I also use a
really old buildroot from 2012 with a few modifications, but I have attached
the mk file that it uses.
The patches that I apply are also attached.
The build options I use are:
--with-linux-dir="<linux dir>"
--enable-cycles
--enable-rtdm
--enable-e100
--enable-e1000
--enable-e1000e
--enable-cx2100
I use RTAI, but that shouldn't make any difference.
Regards,
Graeme.

Remember to reply-all to mail the forum as well.
Line 85 has: #define Yaskawa_Sigma7 0x00000539, 0x02200301 This is different
to my drive, so it may still be the Sigma 7 id causing a mismatch, but it is
the id being returned from the ethercat struct command.
Other than that, I've got no idea.
Graeme.
