TMDSCNCD28388D: How to run motor via TwinCat master EtherCat ?

The screen shot of my TwinCat window is as follows,

But, according to the document shown below (word with red line)

In my twincat window, there are no "output mapping" items, also no "DriveCommand" items, what is wrong with it ?

Can anybody give some suggestions?

Thank you.

The example firmware is from: C2000Ware_4_02_00_00;

Hi,

The section you're referencing is for Build Level 8. Have you already completed all steps and verification for Build Level 7, which is just for verifying the EtherCAT functionality? If not, please go back and verify all steps of Build Level 7 have been successful. All of the proper Input/Output mappings should be verified in this build before going onto 8.

Some step that you may have skipped is programming the F2838x ESC EEPROM memory with TwinCAT.

Best,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your answer.

Before running into build level 8, I have already completed build level 7 successfully. It run and communicate data as refercence document mentioned. 

For F2838x ESC EEPROM, I have also programmed according to build level 8 guidance.

Ok, Thanks Kevin. I will restart build 7 and based on it to retry build level 8. I will update here.

Hi Kevin,

I re-test the build level 7 and re-programmed EEPROM that build level 7 required, it works for build level 7. 

Switch to build level 8, I have not re-program EEPROM and use the same .out file as with build level 7. Then it works in build level 8. The motor can run normally in build level 8. 

Thank you.

Hi,

Great to hear. Happy Testing!

Best,

Kevin
