Hello I have a system made of kontron raspberry pi, Beckhoff EK1100, EL2008, EL7201-0010, EL7201-0010, EL7201-0010
I saw earlier posts about EL7201-0010 and their MDP742 profile, which have to be changed into DS402 profile.
"- Configure the EtherCAT device structure using the CiA402 variant (-0001 or -0011). Enable the “expert settings” in the EtherCAT device configuration, “General” tab
- Download and start the application (the devices will stay in error state, because their current profile does not match the configuration)
- Open the device configuration, online tab. Execute “write E²prom xml”. Wait until this is done.
- Re-power device
- Restart application."
I do this procidure for all three EL7201-0010 modules, but i always works only with one module. Because of that I left only one EL7201-0010 module, change it profile but I still have problem with system configuration (see the attached picture).
I've changed module MDP742 to DS402 using TwinCAT3, now it sees module as DS402 device, but not softmotion device. Do I need to Install something additional so Codesys will see module as softmotion device?
Hi,
if you scan the slave on the ethercat master you should be able to select ( there are '...' in the scan dialog) which device you want to use,
either the original ESI based from Beckhoff or the SoftMotion device.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

How can I fix this problem?

hm.. hard to say in your screenshot you have only one drive added which fails.
Which versions are you using ?
Runtime and CODESYS version?
