<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi,<br/> I think the only way this might work, if you do not really need SoftMotion,<br/> you might could give 'SoftMotion light' a try.<br/> If you have only point to point movement with the CANopen drives, this should work with Control Win.</p> <p>BR<br/> Edwin</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hello, </p> <p>I'm trying to control a variable speed drive (with CANOpen fieldbus) using SoftMotion and Codesys 3.5.14.<br/> With the plc "Codesys control RTE V3" running on my pc (with a PCIe CAN bus interface), it works perfectly.</p> <p>But I need, in some situations, to run this on another pc that doesn't have a PCIe CAN interface. I only have a module "USB to CAN V2" from Ixxat (with VCI V4 drivers installed).</p> <p>I'm able to control (without Softmotion) the variable speed drive using this Ixxat module with the PLC "Codesys Control Win V3", but my softmotion projects does not work with this PLC.</p> <p>I heard that it's better to use Softmotion with a realtime capable PLC, but it "should" be possible to use it on a non realtime plc, like the "Codesys Control Win V3".</p> <p>But how can I do that?</p> <p>Thanks.</p></div>
