TMS320F28388D: ethercat slave information (ESI) on TMS320F28388D CM

Hi Jinfu,

Are you following the "EtherCAT_Slave_Controller_User_Guide.pdf" guide in C2000WARE directory below? Or some other document? You mention the MotorControl_SDK.

C:\ti\c2000\C2000Ware_4_02_00_00\libraries\communications\Ethercat\f2838x\docs

Assuming you're following along with the guide above, are you trying to run the CM Echoback Solution Example discussed in section 3.8? Following these steps exactly should generate an ESI (.xml file) with PDOs defined.

Best,

Kevin

thanks for your reply. as you say, i can get an ESI with PDOs. But when I use the examples in C:\ti\c2000\C2000Ware_4_02_00_00 \solution\tidm_02006_multi_axis_drive\f2838x\ssc_configuration to generate the ESI,  there is'nt any PDO in the generated XML file.

my selected sample as following

Hi Kevin,

or you tell mi how to use the files in \...\f2838x\ssc_configuration to creat the adapted ESI file 

Thanks

Hi Jinfu,

Ok, I see you're looking at the multi-axis servo drive solution. You should be able to use the generated 'F2838x_CM_ECAT_multi_axis_drive.xml' ESI file directly for programming the EEPROM. You shouldn't have to use the SSC tool unless you wanted to modify some of the input / output data.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your help. I do need modifing some input / output data,could you give mi some suggestions

Best.
