<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hello, </p> <p>Does anyone know if Codesys 3 supports Beckhoff EL7031 stepper motor driver slices?</p> <p>I heard that it may be supported in the next Service pack?</p> <p>If no, has anyone managed to work out how to make one work just using the EtherCat mapping?</p> <p>Thanks</p></div>
