Re: [etherlab-users] Control loop at higher frequencies

When you use the master debug interface (or the newly added “ethercat pcap” command, although you won’t have that in your version yet), the receive timestamps are the time that they are received by the master, which is the time that you called ecrt_master_receive. You can get a better

Hi, It is sounding like the data time on the wire is taking too long (> 250us). Besides doubling the "DC system time transmission delay" of the last slave, you can also check the "Diff [ns]" value of your first slave. This may give you a more accurate idea if you have a star topology, as the

It is normal for a slave to drop to SAFEOP+ERROR when it loses communication with the master app. If a slave is remaining in OP+ERROR with the master app not running, that is almost certainly a fault in the slave itself. (However: it's also worthwhile making sure that the slave is not the

Hi, I'm quite new to EtherCAT and while I managed to run a simple system (2 EL2004 modules), I'm facing two issues (maybe related) with a Beckhoff ELM3004 module (and SDOs in general). I already searched heavily for solutions and tried many things but I'm now kind of lost... First issue is :
