Set up EtherCAT Slave to OP Status
Hi
i'm trying to use a NXSTk50-RE as an EtherCAT-Slave. I connected the stick on a windows maschine and installed the corresponding driver and software. Then I configurate the "usb-stick" via the netXSetup programm as EtherCAT Slave.
From a second maschine I try to communicate with this slave via the EtherCAT Master Library. The Master initializes without problems and identifies one slave in the ring with the configured product-code and address.
But I'm not able to set the slave into op state.
Can you give me any hints where the problem might be?
Cheers
Thana
Hi,
is there a linux version for TwinCAT?
The EML is installed on a Linux using Xenomai and RTNet.

Hi,
as far as I know is TwinCAT only for Windows machines available.
It's a pity, as I have the EtherCAT Master Library running on a Linux.
Normally it should work like that, doesn't it?:
1. install the "usb-stick" drivers and software
2. use netX Setup Programm
3. download the EtherCAT-Slave parameters to the stick
4. make sure that these parameters are known by the master
5. communicate
**************************************************
i shortly saw an error while starting the communiation
Code => 0x800C002E
Function => pfnChannelBusState (NxChannel.cpp)
But where to find this cpp source file?

Hi Thana,
how is the result, when you are using the TwinCAT application as master?
