Hello Team,
We are working on loadcell based project using AM2434.
EtherCAT protocol is used to send and receive parameters.
Modular Device protocol (MDP), can it be used to implement EtherCAT protocol?
Please share EtherCAT Slave Information (ESI) file for MDP if possible.
Thanks.
Please share EtherCAT Slave Information (ESI) file for MDP if possible.
We do not have ESI specific to all MDPs. But I would like to know which exact MDP are you asking for is it Motor rive based - CiA402?
Also we already have Motor drive profile implemented: EtherCAT Slave: CiA 402 Example (ti.com)
please share generic modular device profile (I/O) ESI to support parameters with float and decimal value parameters
Hi Chockalingam,
The custom ESI file requirements like this needs to be done by you, Beckoff provides SSC toll for similar purpose and please find the details on tool and guide below.
EtherCAT Technology Group | Downloads - SSC Tool download link
Guide on how to use the tool to generate PDO mapping according to your use case: EtherCAT Slave Design Quick Guide (beckhoff.com)
Also make sure to follow this link on steps to update the twincat with esi file: LINK
Also see Appendix C of this guide on how to modify the example accordingly: www.ti.com/.../spracj7.pdf
