ltremblay Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Hi, I try to push my ethercat configuration embeded in an eni file generated by software ec eng. Problem stated in setup message of ethercat system setup: MasterState is in Unknown mode please type "ecat reset" in terminal window. This command don't seem's to exist command, I only have ecat resetSafety. Can you help me on this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unit101 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 What type Power PMAC is this ? - I assume it is a CK3E with Acontis Ecat In Watch Window put this register and monitor "Ecat[0].MasterState My guess it is now "0" You will make no progress until this changes to "2" I suspect you have a problem with your Ecat network devices.... 1. do you have anything connected to ECAT ? 2. in terminal clear the PMAC with $$$***, Save, $$$ 2. try just connecting ONE device that you trust to the network. 3. Power cycle the PMAC with ECAT device... Check the .MasterState... if it goes to 2 you are ok and should be able to go ahead. I have seen when NOTHING connected to ECAT it will power up in unknown mode with .MasterState = 0 .... with this you can do nothing with ecat... After connecting ECAT you must POWER CYCLE... the $$$ will NOT fix the issue. hope this helps... bigcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltremblay Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 Hi unit101 ! Thanks for your answer. Your asumption where right. I finally manage to make it work but now I'm back on this problem. It is probably related to the fact that I try to update ec eng (v2.5 vs 2.8) to solve an other problem related to ESI... Now as soon as I try to connect with ec eng, the communication between pmac and IDE crash... I also received a beautifull pop up stating : "Failed to configure Marster-unit: Time-out (ErrCode : 0x98110010)"... Unforgotly your step to resolve this problem didn't work. When I go with ec eng. without passig with pmac with network that I know where working: All good. I will uninstall everything and install back to see if my little finger was right.

ltremblay Posted September 16, 2017 Author Share Posted September 16, 2017 Well, I thought I was good by installing everything from zero (4hrs...), removing key registers, appdata, ... until I've start to add ENI file from system config. I've got a beautifull freezing window and communication loss with pmac... Note that I also try to use V3.0 of pmac ide before to have problem (but I don't thinnk that this is the problem).
