Hello,
ive got a servo motor set up and working in my cnc retro fit grinder project,

the problem i have is resetting the drive after a problem ... the drive can be reset.. and goes into idle mode, but i cannot get it to go back online without resetting the raspberry pi... which is not ideal...

the drive gives feedback for position and is communicating.. (over ethercat) and you can set the enable bits, and you can acknowledge the error.. but the only feedback i have it the device is has a configuration error..

I am using the SML controls and the axis is being controled as a 402, and whilst the drive is happy it all works nicely... its just errors and resetting that are proving to be my issue...

the functions i'm using are the MC_power, Axis_halt and Incremental_move, so nothing very fancy.... oh and i have the MC_reset function,

now i understand that this is a unknown drive... and i've been working with the manifacturer in china to get support, and we are working but if anyone has any simular experance it would be nice to hear from you

thanks

Pb
