Raidrive diagnostics window.

Overview

In the screenshot above, the left column focuses on EtherCAT interfaces and SDO parameters, while the right column contains live status, firmware tools, and real-time monitoring widgets.

Layout

  • Network Interfaces: select and refresh available EtherCAT interfaces, scan slaves, and connect/disconnect.

  • Driver SDO Parameters: read and display configurable drive parameters.

  • Slave Status: live ECAT state, CiA402 state, control mode, and telemetry.

  • Firmware & ESI Operations: open firmware/ESI files and program drives.

  • Realtime Monitor: plots of target/position/velocity/torque/temperature.

  • PDO Monitor: live TX/RX PDO values and edit controls.

  • Terminal: log output for firmware and diagnostic actions.

Controls and Indicators

  • Update SDOs reads parameter values from the selected drive.

  • Open Firmware / Open ESI launch file pickers for .bin payloads.

  • Program triggers firmware updates with confirmation dialogs.

  • Run / Stop control waveform commands for selected drives.

Data Sources

  • EtherCAT telemetry is provided by the internal Raidrive manager.

  • SDO metadata maps provide human-readable labels for indices.

Notes

  • Firmware updates require stable power; confirm the selected drive before proceeding.

  • Use the PDO monitor to verify low-level I/O when debugging drive behavior.
