Add simple example #7

flosse · 2020-03-04T19:38:08Z

@birkenfeld I try to make a simple example working but it doesn't work :(

Could you have look at this example?
Do I miss something?

The aim is simple: Toggle output 3

birkenfeld · 2020-03-14T06:48:25Z

I'm sorry, didn't see this before now. Will review during the weekend...

The al_states: 2 looks suspicious. When the slaves are working normally, they should be in state 8 (OP) instead of 2 (PREOP). This field is an OR of the state flags, so it seems like all slaves are in PREOP.

It may be that this is because the configured slaves don't match the actual slaves, but you have the check that I though was the right one (leading to the "Unable to configure slave" panic).

It might also be possible that the Weidmüller hardware wants to be put into the OP state explicitly, while Beckhoff does it automatically while activating the master? (I think; I don't have a coupler with me to test ATM. I can do some tests tomorrow.)

I assume you know about the ethercat executable provided by the IgH master? You can access a lot of functionality there, including ioctls that are not wrapped by the original C library (and therefore not in Rust, at the moment). One of those is EC_IOCTL_SLAVE_STATE which is used by the ethercat states FOO command. Maybe you can try that?

examples/simple.rs

+        master.domain(domain_handle).queue()?;
+        master.send()?;
+
+        thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(500));


I adapted the PDOs and IDs to my Beckhoff EK1100 test system. I first thought this didn't work either, but then let it run for longer once and saw that the al_states did go to OP at some point.

For that system, it needs about 35 communication cycles to do this here; if you lower the sleep you'll get to state 8 sooner. I don't know where the delay comes from :(

I tried to reduce the cycle time but no matter how long I'm waiting, it stays at al_states: 2 :(

It may be that this is because the configured slaves don't match the actual slaves,

Ok, I'll check the whole config again.
Is there a simple way to receive some debug/error info?

Yes I tried it. Running ethercat states PO does not help :-\

Can you post the result of ethercat pdos, ethercat slaves -v and ethercat config -v while the example is running?

Well, I'm a bit at a loss. You might also look in the dmesg for errors/warnings, maybe after calling ethercat debug 1?

Googling suggests that you may need to configure the DC feature before activating the master (calling config_dc on the SlaveConfig. I didn't need this for the Beckhoff coupler.

That's actually a good idea!

There are some errors and warnings, e.g.:

[Fr Apr 17 13:06:15 2020] EtherCAT ERROR 0-0: SDO download 0x1600:00 (1 bytes) aborted.
[Fr Apr 17 13:06:15 2020] EtherCAT ERROR 0-0: SDO abort message 0x06010002: "Attempt to write a read-only object".
[Fr Apr 17 13:06:15 2020] EtherCAT WARNING 0-0: Failed to clear PDO mapping.

[Fr Apr 17 13:06:15 2020] EtherCAT WARNING 0-0: Failed to configure mapping of PDO 0x1600.
[Fr Apr 17 13:06:15 2020] EtherCAT WARNING 0-0: Slave does not support assigning PDOs!

[Fr Apr 17 13:06:15 2020] EtherCAT ERROR 0-0: SDO download 0x1A00:00 (1 bytes) aborted.
[Fr Apr 17 13:06:15 2020] EtherCAT ERROR 0-0: SDO abort message 0x06010002: "Attempt to write a read-only object".
[Fr Apr 17 13:06:15 2020] EtherCAT WARNING 0-0: Failed to clear PDO mapping.

[Fr Apr 17 13:06:15 2020] EtherCAT ERROR 0-0: Failed to set SAFEOP state, slave refused state change (PREOP + ERROR).
[Fr Apr 17 13:06:15 2020] EtherCAT ERROR 0-0: AL status message 0x001E: "Invalid input configuration".

So it seems that I can't define my own custom mapping (Slave does not support assigning PDOs!).
So what else can I do?

I tried to run an example with the SOEM-rs stack where I did not configure PDOs ... and it worked.

birkenfeld · 2020-04-17T15:32:01Z

Ah, then you probably have to configure the complete PDO (e.g. all 8 bits of 0x1600) for use in the domain.

It might be enough to configure just index 0x7000:1 with a bit_length of 8; at least that has been the case with Beckhoff input terminals.

that doesn't change anything :(

I'll try to configure all PDOs exactly like they are offered.
