Hi Sebastien,

thank you for your answer.
One more question: are standard commands for typical slaves defined whithin EtherCAT? In my case the slaves are servo motor drives. Are there standard commands, e.g. for positioning, setting speed/acceleration or is this vendor specific?

Regards, Christian

Hi,

Yes, you can control the EtherCAT servo drivers directly from Linux with the library IgH EtherCAT master.
https://etherlab.org/en/ethercat/index.php

Nevertheless, it is only library, and you must write your own C/C++ program based on this library.

You should start by reading the user manual
https://etherlab.org/download/ethercat/ethercat-1.5.2.pdf

There are also examples in the "examples" subdirectory.
