Installation

# pip3 install libecm

or

# python3 setup.py build
# python3 setup.py install

After installation you can run unit tests to make sure that the library works fine. Execute

# python3 -m libecm.test.test_csp           # For ECM-SK
# python3 -m libecm.test.test_ecmxf_elmo    # For ECM-XF elmo 8 servo

ECM-SK Example

1. Open EtherCAT

ethercat.open( )

2. EtherCAT initial.

ethercat.set_state( STATE_PRE_OP )                # Set EtherCAT state
ethercat.axis( group=0, topology=[ DRIVE ]*8 )    # Return number of slaves.
ethercat.set_dc( 1000 )                           # Cycle Time Unit : us
ethercat.set_mode( slaves=[1], modes=[ MODE_CSP ]*1, types=[ DCSYNC ]*1)
time.sleep( 1 )
ethercat.set_state( STATE_SAFE_OP )
time.sleep( 1 )
ethercat.set_state( STATE_OP )

3. Servo ON

ethercat.servo_on( slaves=[1] )

4. CSP, CSV, CST Mode

ethercat.csp( slaves=[1], values=[ int(position) ], rw=WR )
ethercat.csv( slaves=[1], values=[ int(velocity) ], rw=WR )
ethercat.cst( slaves=[1], values=[ int(torque) ],   rw=WR )

ethercat.mixing( [ dict( slaves=1, modes=MODE_CSV, values=0x55555555 ), dict( slaves=2, modes=MODE_CSP, values=0xAAAAAAAA ) ] )

5. Close EtherCAT

result = ethercat.servo_off( slaves=[1] )    # Return list    """ [ { 'index':0, 'status':0, 'position':0, 'torque':0 }, ]    """
ethercat.set_state( STATE_INIT )
ethercat.close()

6. Other Functions

ethercat.get_status( )

ethercat.sdo( 1, 0x607A, 0, size=4, alias='Target Position' ).value     # Read SDO
ethercat.sdo( 1, 0x60C2, 1, size=1, alias='Interpolation').value = 125  # Write SDO

ethercat.abort_home( [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 ] )
ethercat.set_ex( 0, 0 ) # Param1 Disable(Enable) Command CRC Verification
                        # Param2 Disable(Enable) Response CRC Verification

ethercat.reset( )   # Module hardware reset
ethercat.reboot( )  # Module software reset
ethercat.ric_io( )  # Read ECM IC DIO
ethercat.wic_io( 0x55555555 ) # Write ECM IC DIO

ethercat.set_state( STATE_SAFE_OP )
for slave in SLAVES:
  ethercat.align_position( slave=slave, homing=True, position=0 )

ethercat.set_state( STATE_OP )

3. Servo ON
