We’re trying to add Moons IO module which includes digital input and output along with analog outputs. We need help to integrate this module into our network
Here are the necessary details :
- Device details :
a. Vendor ID : 0x168
b. Product code : 0x18
c. Revision number : 0x1
We have 3 Mitsubishi servo drives connected in series and then the 4th node is the IO module.
We have carried out the following steps :
- We made edits in the CustomNodeInfo.xml file according to what’s mentioned here NodeInfo & CustomNodeInfo files
- We added the ESI file of the moons IO module in the ESI folder.
- We then used RapidSetup to scan the network and find the nodes. On doing so RapidSetup recognised the IO module.
- We then clicked on “Generate ENI file” and the file was created.
- We then tried to start the network but we got some errors while doing so. The following are the messages we can see on RapidSetup
‘Box 3 (Moons-IO)’ (1004): ‘PREOP to SAFEOP’ failed! Error: ‘check device state for SAFEOP’
Slave Box 3 (Moons-IO) did not start correctly
Error signaled by master while starting driver
Currently the patch we added in our customNodeInfo file looks like this:
Please let us know if any more information needs to be shared. We need assistance in integrating the moons IO module successfully in our ethercat network.
