I am using an EtherCAT communications device EL 6022, and I am having some difficulties. I can manage to get the device into OP, however when I map the PDO's (which I have to do manually) They do not effect the device.
I am using the IDE 3.1.4.0,because of its EtherLAB functionality, required by my PMAC 465
My version says "EtherCAT IO Devices Licences Only" is this the problem, as I am using a communications device, however I have used EtherCAT with Amplifiers before?
ECAT.Slave[j].PDOMapping[m].PDOCount should this be the number of pdos in the 0x1604 register or the number of pdos I have mapped in the delta tau?
When I set and ECAT[].IO[].data I can correlate this with some data in the "system ethercat -px data|hexdump" however this does not effect the PDO inside the slave. I can check if the PDO(inside the slave) is set by checking it's corresponding read only SDO.
Has anyone set up a communication device, especially EL6xxx before?
