<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi Edwin,<br/> Thanks for the hint above, I found the following similar post:<br/> <a href="https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/Engineering/thread/85c3cc8893/#7697">https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/Engineering/thread/85c3cc8893/#7697</a></p> <p>I can now enable/disable/reset drive, and perform absolute move from configuration mode and LD instructions.</p> <p>On the next step for motion, how do you tune the servo motor. What interface do I have available for SoftMotion. </p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>In case of the error you should check the axiserror and logger in the plc - </p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi Edwin,<br/> Thank you for the pointer on using Softmotion vs Softmotion Light.</p> <p>Since last time, I have now used a Raspberry Pi 3 (RPI 1 is too slow to sync motion) and was able to get further.<br/> 1. All EtherCAT seems happy<br/> 2. Can go to config mode<br/> 2. Able to turn on the servo. Motor is firm with no error.</p> <p>However when I try to jog, the position setpoint would change but the actual does not move anywhere. Any pointer?</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi, not sure if this drive is possible to use with SoftMotion light.<br/> I would prefer to use it with SoftMotion. ( Sure you need a realtime Linux patch for your Kernel on this PI)<br/> If you go with Softmotion light you need to check if this drive is SML capable by this project:<br/> "c:\Program Files\CODESYS 3.5.15.x\CODESYS\Projects\SoftMotion\4.6.x.x\SoftMotionLight\SML_CompatibilityCheck_DS402.project" </p> <p>BR<br/> Edwin</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi there,<br/> I have been trying to configure Beckhoff EL7221-9015 (DSP420) but unable to make it work.</p> <p>So far I have only been able to add the drive but once I add the axis, the axis returned a configuration error.</p> <p>Any pointers?</p></div>
