Unable to set up a connection between ROS machine and pilz hardware (prbt6)

edit

Hello everyone,

currently I´m working on establishing a connection between my ROS computer and the Pilz hardware setup to control a prbt 6 manipulator (e. g. through RViz). Therefore I stick to the github documentation of Pilz itself (pilz_robots). Until now I was not able to build a stable connection via CAN. To be more specific, here is some information of my system:

• running Linux kernel 4.15.0-88-generic
• Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
• ROS distribution: kinetic
• Pilz packages (version 0.4.11) built in ROS workspace without errors
• PCAN-USB opto-decoupled adapter (type IPEH-002022; including the procedure of activating the internal termination)

From here my start routine looks like this:

• plug in pcan usb adapter to PMCPrimo and ethernet cable to PSS4000
• ping network without package loss

For the pcan I use the drivers, which are included in Linux Kernel:

$ grep PEAK_ /boot/config-`uname -r`
CONFIG_CAN_PEAK_PCIEFD=m
CONFIG_CAN_PEAK_PCMCIA=m
CONFIG_CAN_PEAK_PCI=m
CONFIG_CAN_PEAK_PCIEC=y
CONFIG_CAN_PEAK_USB=m

and do:

$ lsmod | grep ^peak
peak_usb               40960  0

for checking, if the adapter was initialized.

Get interace information:

$ ifconfig -a

Set up CAN interface:

    $ sudo ip link set can0 up type can bitrate 1000000

And launch the file:

    $ roslaunch prbt_moveit_config moveit_planning_execution.launch sim:=false gripper:=pg70 pipeline:=ompl sto:=pss4000

While running the launch file I simultaneously check the CAN interface via:

$ ip -details -statistics link show can0 

3: can0: <NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP,ECHO> mtu 16 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 10
    link/can  promiscuity 0 ...
