    How to reset the current encoder position of ethercat servo drive to zero?

    Checkout this function block, MC_SetPosition:

    Hey Campbell,

    I tried the function out. When I cycle the power of the system the motors' position is unchanged which was earlier set to '0' by using the MC_Setposition FB as suggested. I kindly request you to please help me out with this.

    PS is there any FB which retains the position to a set value even after the cycle power is done?

    with regards,

    Hi Kanishk,

    Using MC_GroupSetPosition doesn't work because when you power up drive and motor after they're off, Codesys will receive the absolute position from the encoder.
    I think you should find the parameters of your drive that can perform a preset position and then using FB which can force the value of the parameters.

    hope it will be useful for you

    with regards

    Hi hi Kanishk,
    Go to help.codesys.com and search for "Persisting an Axis Position". Check the first result

    Hi Campbell,

    I have implemented the logic as per the link. In the attached screenshot, the persistent position data is not able to store the 0 values of the axes when I zero them using Set_Position FB but, still, it is storing the initial values of the motors. How to move forward with this?
