<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi,<br/> to get a working example softmotion project you need a target with enabled softmotion feature,<br/> otherwise you get this module.root errormessage reason are the missing config files in the target.</p> <p>How to solve that:<br/> Please add the tag at "install RTE V2.3" at the installation procedure of CoDeSys V2.3<br/> RTE V2.3 is an Softmotion enabled target with that you could run every example in the tutorial.<br/> After that if you open the projects they should open with controllerconfiguration and it should be<br/> possible to examine and test how they are working.<br/> Even a good example is "c:\Program Files\3S Software\CoDeSys V2.3\Projects\Motion\4examples\4examples.pro" which <br/> give a wide overview of the softmotion features.</p> <p>Hope this helps<br/> Edwin</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi friends,</p> <p>I wonder if there is something like a step by step Softmotion tutorial that explains in tiny details how to accomplish some relatively simple softmotion task from A to Z. Like to set a X-Y system to draw a circle, or a rectangle with rounded corners. I have a bit of experience with Codesys 2.3, incl. async. control of servo drives via vendor-specific libraries, but no experience whatsoever with softmotion. <br/> I have tried to look at the projects in &lt;codesys 2.3="" dir="" install=""&gt;\Projects\Motion\Tutorial\ , but none of these projects opens. All the projects there display an error like 'description for module.root not found' and suggest to change the configuration directory (by default set to D:\Codesys\config). Well, under &lt;codesys 2.3="" dir="" install=""&gt; there's no folder named 'config' anywhere.<br/> First I thought that's because I'm using a vendor-specific(FESTO) version of Codesys 2.3. But later I downloaded Codesys 2.3 from this site and installed it on a fresh XP SP3 machine, and the projects open with exactly the same errors. <br/> So, any hint for the newbie?<br/> CoDeSys_SoftMotion_V23 manual will take me ages to examine and test, I need a kick-start with a working project.&lt;/codesys&gt;&lt;/codesys&gt;</p> <p>Thanks for any suggestions.</p></div>
