The "ethercat xml" command displays an SII XML document inferred from the slave's SII EEPROM and/or CoE; it should be similar (but less detailed) to the one supplied by the slave vendor. It's not something that you can modify. It is normal for "ethercat config" and "ethercat domain" to display nothing when no application is running. They provide information about the config and data requested by the running application. > So the PDO cyclic control loop only works in OP state? Not in PREOP? Do I > change the state and then run the code? The cyclic loop in the application will execute while slaves are in any state. Slaves only provide valid PDO inputs in SAFEOP or OP, and only follow PDO outputs in OP. The master will automatically try to transition the slaves from PREOP to OP over several cycles after you've called ecrt_master_activate, based on the configuration you supplied before calling that. It's up to your application logic to detect when the slaves are in a good state to perform whatever task is required (and to detect if they encounter an error or other abnormal state). It sounds like you should have a read of both the documentation for the EtherLab master itself and for the EtherCAT protocol in general.

Correct (next time you could drop the parentheses). Perfect. Thanks. Am 15.01.19 um 15:34 schrieb Samiha Islam: Dear Wilhelm, Apologies for not adding the subject. I have added the subject here.

Re: [etherlab-users] (no subject)
Hello, I was a bit confused so as to how to modify the SDO data for the 'ethrcat xml' command. I am concerned that the commands 'ethercat config' and 'ethercat domain' yields nothing. I am working on a modified version of the 'user' example for my slave. It contains the cyclic task. So the PDO cyclic control loop only works in OP state? Not in PREOP? Do I change the state and then run the code? Thank you!
