<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hello,<br/> You could not run EtherCAT-Softmotion drives with LMC201 PLC. This Controller has an EtherCAT master but only to run simple I/O devices. You could not use this EtherCAT master on the LMC201 for Motion. Schneider PACdrive Controller use SERCOS and only own drives (LXM62 with Sercos) for motion.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>I have replaced a Parker PAC320 with a Schneider LMC 201 <br/> The system has some Parker Compax3 servodrive communicating over EtherCAT.<br/> PAC320 is programmed with Codesys 3.5.15.<br/> The program is opened in Machine Expert 3.2.<br/> But I can not get the commumication running to the Compax3.<br/> When I scan for hardware the it seems like the Compax3 is registated, but not the motors.</p> <p>Anyone that have succeded this replacement?</p></div>
