Add existing version (with SM drive) - without scan - disable under expert settings in the slave the revision check.

Okay, the solution was so simple... In my case, you first have to add the EL1918 and then the EL2904... then the connection is made automatically. I probably had something else before and then added the EL1918... then it doesn't catch the connection :/

I think you should use a piece of hardware in between your drive (pulse/direction) and the plc like for example Beckhoff EL2521 - so Ethercat might be to choice if you need CNC and SoftMotion. EK1100 and EL2521

For power off i need to give a MC_Reset ???? Why ??? To power up i need MC_Power , but when i reset the inputs it doesnt power off the drive ! Why ? If i would use the controlword on ethercat it would. Why nog in MC ?

Post by manuknecht on Creating softmotion axis dynamically ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi I was wondering the same thing. I managed to dynamically add an EtherCat Slave but I could not find out how to add a softmotion axis to it. Does anyone have an answer to this? Thanks in advance!

Post by eschwellinger on EtherCAT drive not moving ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
you need to switch to a realtime capable plc. Do not map variables, this will be done by the SoftMotion. And check the Ds402 parameters in the generic parameterview on the Softmotion Connector.

Thank you very much Florian The SoftMotionLight package is actually more expencive than the normal SoftMotion. What is exactly the difference? Does my PLC need to be compatible with SoftMotion or does this work with any PLC?

Hello @ph0010421 Thanks for you answer. I dont really get the state machine that you sent me. Is that only for enabling the drive? How can i make movement? Is this with these SDO's? What is SDO exactly? Sorry but i am a little lost (:|)

yes I think you need to build the kernel drivers for the CCAT driver for the backplane ETC networkcard https://github.com/Beckhoff/CCAT/

An ENI file is needed for a 3rd party software solution that is being used over EtherCAT connection that emulates multiple Slave devices. This one cant be that complex, seen some legacy posts but no answers. Thank you! Bruce

BTW - I had a chat with a Beckhoff support engineer. He explained that if you use sync0 and sync1, two frames per cycle are expected.

Post by totorovic on Hard shutdown: no code on device after power on ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I think that the .err file is the .app file renamed by Codesys, so it is compiled. We met this behaviour one time, it was because the runtime goes in exception due to bad Ethercat cables.

Hi, I guess you don't have the right xml file. Download Beckhoff_EtherCAT_BKxxx_MDP.zip from https://download.beckhoff.com/download/configuration-files/io/ethercat/xml-device-description and install these in Device Repository.

Post by davidmic on Is it possible to profile builds? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi I have a large project (which I can't share here), builds take multiple minutes. My computer is reasonably new (i7-10610U, 32gb ram), and I don't think my company will let me upgrade. Is there any way to profile/inspect the build process? My goal is to figure out why builds take so long, then hopefully I can make them faster.
