- | ====== EtherCATInterfaceElmo ===== | ||
- | ===== Summary ===== | ||
- | The //" | ||
- | It consists of the following components: | ||
- | * EtherCatInterfaceElmo.hpp | ||
- | * EtherCatInterfaceElmo.cpp | ||
- | * EtherCatInterfaceElmo_config.hpp | ||
- | |||
- | The //" | ||
- | The low level methods (' | ||
- | |||
- | These low level methods read and write individual data objects to/from the stack. | ||
- | Which objects are available and their file type must be read from the documentation of the manufacturer of the EtherCAT slave. | ||
- | Each data object has its own method. | ||
- | These are the only methodes which use the low level get/set methodes from //" | ||
- | |||
- | Where a data object is located in the PDO depends on the ENI file used. | ||
- | These offsets must be read from the ENI file and configured in //" | ||
- | |||
- | All methods above the low level methods are optional. | ||
- | They contain a certain degree of intelligence and simplify the interface to the user application. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Blocking functions ===== | ||
- | Methods in the interface must never be **blocking**. | ||
- | |||
- | Some advanced functions may take several cycles. | ||
- | They are only completed when they return '' | ||
- | These methods must be called again in each cycle until they return '' | ||
- | |||
- | ===== EtherCatInterfaceElmo_config.hpp ===== | ||
- | This is configuration file has do be adapted depending on the EtherCAT network. | ||
- | |||
- | The most important part of this file is the offset definition of all PDO offset. | ||
- | Before you start your application, | ||
- | |||
- | Be aware that EtherCATInterface assumes that all drives send the identical variables via PDO. | ||
- | With the current implementation it is not possible to send different variables for different drives. | ||
- | |||
- | If a variable is not available, the offset is set to a negative number like ' | ||
- | The methods which would use a unavailable variable will throw an error if called. | ||
