I'm trying to troubleshoot a Nidac/ControlTechniques drive with softmotion interoperability issue where the MC_Power block isn't responding properly to the status of the drive.
The MC_Power looks like this:
However the status word from CANOpen is correct for the "Operation Enable" state:
Does anyone have further information of the binding between the PLC Open compliant MC_Power block and the CiA402 spec?
I'm having a lot weird softmotion behavior, so I think this is the starting point to understanding.
I've tried both. The one that comes with Codesys which has the softmotion device attached. Also the one from uploading the ESI file on Nidac's website and using a generic CiA402 axis. Both result in the same behavior. In the pictures on the OP above I'm using the driver with the softmotion axis attached.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

which Softmotion driver do you use? the generic DS402 or the drive specific ( which is recommended)? please show us the device tree.

check the plc logger and the axis stucture & what about quickstop Bit5 in the statusword?
No errors in the :
PLC Log
EtherCAT Master Log
Device Log
If I'm understanding correctly, the quick stop Bit5 is a Normally Closed bit, so "1" would correspond to "Quick Stop off".
