[Etherlab-users] Visualization/Control of Busstate via PdServ

[Karl Zeilhofer]

Hi,








My question is, what's the way to go.
Some suggestions:

1) Generator Programm

Then compile this file and run it.


Later on a visualization in the webbrowser would be great.

2) Generic Binary

This would be a very dynamic approach without any further compilations.
Restart this binary, if anything on the bus has changed, and you are done.

I would be happy about any inputs.

Kind regards,
Karl

the last days I did some experiments with EtherCAT master, pdserv, Testmanager and DLS. Hats off for this great sofware project. I'm thinking about getting all slave registers of the whole EtherCAT bus in a systematic way presented via pdserv. Then a python skript connected via pdcom should do the control and I/O towards the enduser (all non realtime, but hey - this is acceptable in the case of home automation or energy management). For development/debugging purposes, another pdcom client should be able to visualize all variables on pdserv. Also it should be able to force specific variables to a preset value (similar to TwinCAT). Build a generator script, which uses ethercat tool to scan the bus via "ethercat pdos". Then generate a C file, where everything is integrated. For each register there are equivalents in the pdserv registration. For visualization I would suggest a ncurses GUI in the terminal, where all pdserv variables are listed. Another approach would be to write a C/C++ program, which uses the same libs ethercat tool uses, to scan the bus and provide the data via pdserv. |eMail: k...@zeilhofer.co.at (GPG-Verschlüsselung <http://www.zeilhofer.co.at/official/doku.php?id=gpg-key>)|
