Hi,

I'm using ros_canopen to control my robot.

The joint_position_controller works but I get stuck with joint_trajectory_controller. I set PDO mapping through dcf_overlay :

dcf_overlay:
    "1600sub0": "2"
    "1600sub1": "0x60400010" # map Control Word to RPDO1
    "1600sub2": "0x60c10120" # map 60c1sub2(position for PVT mode) to RPDO1
    "1601sub0": "2"
    "1601sub1": "0x60400010" # map Control Word to RPDO2
    "1601sub2": "0x60600008" # map 0x6060(mode of operation) to RPDO2
    "60c0": "0x0000" # map Interpolation submode 0:Linear interpolation with constant time

The candump message confused me because:

$ candump can0 -dcex |grep 201 # candump RPDO1
   can0  TX - -  201   [6]  04 00 AA 32 00 00
$ candump can0 -dcex |grep 301 # candump RPDO2
   can0  TX - -  301   [3]  1F 01 07 # halt the drive?
   can0  TX - -  301   [3]  1F 00 07
   can0  TX - -  301   [3]  1F 01 07  # halt the drive?
   can0  TX - -  301   [3]  1F 00 07
   ...

1.How come the first two bytes of the RPDO1 message differ with that of RPDO2 since they both are mapped to control word?

2.$ candump can0 -dcex |grep 201 showed that the position data were successfully sent to CAN bus. But the robot didn't move. Control word 1F 01 seems to be halting the drive and indicates the operation mode is profile position mode(see Copley Manual P58). Is it a problem?

Thank you in advance.

Mapping an object to multiple PDOs is not supported ( https://github.com/ros-industrial/ros... ). Each object can only be mapped once, not even twice within the same PDO.

Thank you. Now I've changed the PDO mappings(github.com/Linkeway/BIRL_modular_robot/blob/master/birl_module_canopen/config/manipulator5d_motors.yaml).abort60c1#1, reason: Invalid value for parameter (download only) showed up during initialization. I set DefaultValue for 60c1#1 in dcf. No luck.

candump showed

can0  TX - -  601   [8]  23 C1 60 01 00 00 00 00
can0  RX - -  581   [8]  80 C1 60 01 30 00 09 06

Looks like your PDO mapping was not applied correctly. Please fix doubled object in https://github.com/Linkeway/BIRL_modu... And all other doubled configs.

In addition your DCF is wrong: https://github.com/Linkeway/BIRL_modu... It even misses the 140x entries.

Please use CANeds

And: using the Schunk DCF as a template might be error prone, too!

You are right. I used the Schunk DCF because the Copley eds was faulty. I use a modified Copley eds now, and initialization produces:

[ERROR]:canopen_master/src/pdo.cpp(372): Throw in function void canopen::PDOMapper::Buffer::write(const canopen::ObjectDict::Entry&, const canopen::String&)

Dynamic exception type: boost::exception_detail::clone_impl<boost::exception_detail::error_info_injector<std::bad_cast> > std::exception::what: std::bad_cast [canopen::tag_objectdict_key*] = 60c1sub1

Your DCF contains a wrong object type for 60c1, please use CANeds to validate your DCF against 301 and 402 standard and fix all warnings.

Update: The object type should work as well, not sure why you get the size mismatch..
