ethercat_slave FREERUN+DC

Louis chou

Hi,

The ethercat_slave project default is syncmanager + dc mode.
Have you ever configure the ethercat_slave project to FREERUN + DC mode on AM335x_ICE board?

Hi Louis,

I will ask the factory team to look at this.

Louis,

On TwinCAT, FREERUN is an asynchronous mode. Synchronization modes available are SM-Synchron and DC-Synchron.

I want to configure the ethercat stack to be FreeRun Mode(#define AL_EVENT_ENABLED 0) and DC mode (#define DC_SUPPORTED 1), but slave seems can not to trans to OP mode.

Louis,

In the stack, in comments for DC_SUPPORTED, it is mentioned that "If this switch is set, then also AL_EVENT_ENABLED shall be set." This configuration of AL_EVENT_ENABLED 0 & DC_SUPPORTED 1 will require more modifications on the stack to be run.

The EtherCAT forum might be able to provide additional support on this. http://ethercat.org

Thanks,

Srikant
