Connect with SOES using SOEM

[avaiable-away]

➜ linux_lan9252demo git:(master) sudo ./demo Hello Main Hello Main

➜ simple_test sudo ./simple_test ens33 SOEM (Simple Open EtherCAT Master) Simple test Starting simple test ec_init on ens33 succeeded. No slaves found! End simple test, close socket End program

The slave SOES cannot be found by the SOEM.

What configuration should I do to make SOEM connect to SOES？ Thanks！

SOES rely on havning dedicated EtehrCAT HW

How does your setup look like?

Is the hardware necessary? I think SOES can be used as an ECAT slave simulator. Maybe I was wrong.

Not out of the box.

When I use the hardware connection, the SOEM can connect to the slave station. ➜ simple_test sudo ./simple_test ens33 SOEM (Simple Open EtherCAT Master) Simple test Starting simple test ec_init on ens33 succeeded. 1 slaves found and configured. Slaves mapped, state to SAFE_OP. segments : 1 : 8 0 0 0 Request operational state for all slaves Calculated workcounter 3 Operational state reached for all slaves. Processdata cycle 2480, WKC 3 , O: 00 00 I: ff 00 00 40 71 04 T:716^Z2914636652521

I want to know where SOES uses testing.

Is there a tutorial for using SOES? You can close it now. Thank you.

There is a chapter on SOES in the rt-labs EtherCAT-SDK manual
