<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hello,<br/> there are two options:<br/> option1:<br/> 1. use RTEV3 add controltechniques ethercat slave xml to the device repository<br/> 2. make a new project and add the controltechniques drive beyond the added ethercat master<br/> 3. access the mapped pdo data and control the drive by your application... setting the controlword etc</p> <p>probably the better and easier option2:<br/> 1. use RTEV3 Softmotion as target system, <br/> 2. CoDeSys IDE :you do not have to add any etc device description file everthing is included in the CoDeSys Setup (CT drives)<br/> 3. make a new project and add the controltechniques unidrive softmotion beyond the ethercatmaster<br/> 4. now you could access the ct drive via the PLCopen fb's (axis input is the drive name ) in your application<br/> (Ethercattask = motion task)</p></div>
