Minimal SOEM EtherCAT example to read a UDINT object with known slave ID
The following example is based on our previous posts SOEM EtherCAT example: List all slaves and SOEM EtherCAT example: How to read UDINT object.
#include "ethercat.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
if (argc <= 1) {
printf("Usage: %s <network interface>\n", argv[0]);
return 1;
}
char *ifname = argv[1];
printf("Starting SOEM EtherCAT slave listing\n");
// Initialize the SOEM library with the specified network interface
if (ec_init(ifname)) {
printf("EtherCAT master initialized on %s\n", ifname);
// Perform an EtherCAT network scan
if (ec_config_init(FALSE) > 0) {
// In OP-Modus wechseln
ec_config_map(&IOmap);
ec_statecheck(0, EC_STATE_SAFE_OP, EC_TIMEOUTSTATE);
ec_slave[0].state = EC_STATE_OPERATIONAL;
ec_writestate(0);
ec_statecheck(0, EC_STATE_OPERATIONAL, EC_TIMEOUTSTATE);
// RxPDO lesen
while(1) {
ec_receive_processdata(EC_TIMEOUTRET);
// PDO-Daten sind nun in ec_slave[1].inputs[] verfügbar
// Warten Sie eine kurze Zeit
osal_usleep(1000);
}
}
ec_close();
} else {
printf("Failed to initialize EtherCAT master on %s\n", ifname);
}
return 0;
}
