Hi All,
I have done various tests with ethercat on the raspberry Pi and codesys, including virtual drives etc.
However I would like to ask how to use a Beckhoff Ax5000 series drive and Am8032 Motor.
I have installed the Device repository and scanned the system and found the drive unit.
But at this point I am stuck, the ethercat does't run on the servo drive and I am not sure how to tell codesys the motor type.
Any pointers would be a great help thanks.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

Hello,
Have you added the Beckhoff EtherCAT XML file?
You also need to add an axis to the solution tree, in here you can configure settings.
