EtherCAT Slave device is not found in devices repository

EtherCAT Slave device is not found in devices repository

Hello,

how can I configure a EtherCAT slave that is not found in the devices repository of ctrlX I/O Engineering?

The device in question is a stepper motor control unit by Trinamic.

Thank you,

Please install the device description file (*.xml) from the 3rd-party supplier:

Hello,

thank you for the prompt reply.

After installing the EtherCAT slave information xml file (According to EtherCATInfo.xsd from https://www.ethercat.org/en/downloads/downloads_6A46D45EA33C47ECB2BB2686BBA963EC.htm) from the third-party supplier, the same error still occurs.

The already installed devices have an additional devdesc.xml file in the repository, which is not known to the third-party supplier as a specified file for EtherCAT communication configuration.

Is this file required by the ctrlX for EtherCAT configuration of a slave device? And if so, how can it be generated?

Thank you for your support.

Kind regards,

Beck

Hello !

I downloaded one of these trinamics controller xml description files and the setup worked fine.

Please check for the correct XML files.

have a look to the attachments, please.

Hello,

indeed it was an issue of the 3rd party not supplying the correct xml.

Thank you for your support!
