What File should i use to initialize EtherCAT master node ??

2 views (last 30 days)
I have used the EtherCAT communication protocol to communicate with ASDA-A2 servo drive manufactured by delta electronics, but unfortunately, when i asked to provide the ENI configuration file I always get an error of "this file does not seem to be a valid ENi file", I though that it could be a text encoding problem so I have converted it to utf-8, utf-16, and ISO-8859 but it also does not work. ASDA-A2.XML.E here is the link to download the configuration file provided by the manufacturer.

hi Ahmed: you need a ethercat confegurator to generate ENI file by the ESI file which driver manufacturer provide, then define all PDO you need and export ENI file. For more detail, refer to the help "EtherCAT Init" block, see "Configure EtherCAT Network" you'll get what you need.
