I let this project rest for a while and picked it up last week. I have been in contact with the support from beckhoff and got the information that the terminals were identical (communication wise). As the Log of the Axis (not the drive's log) shows the error when trying to write into the register 0x8012 and set the value for an encoder to a value that is the default - at least according to the manual - I was wondering if it is possible to "not write that value" to skip that part? Or am I misunderstanding...
Good morning everyone. In my setup I am trying to use a couple of EL7041-0052 (the EL7041 variant without terminals for an encoder) to run stepper motors without feedback. When using the softmotion drivers for the EL7041 (Rev22 and Rev24, even selecting external feedback type doesn't work) the device log shows warnings for the corresponding hardware: "SDO write error 0x1 -> 0x8012:0x08 eError 0x1 AbortCode 0x6090011". 0x8012:0x08 is the register for the Feedback Type. My best guess was setting the...

That's good news. Other good news are that I can confirm that with SP19, Softmotion 4.14.0.0 and, as @eschwellinger suggested, EtherCat 4.2.0.0 the online configuration is working. The regular communication with a PLC program works as well. Thanks for the quick help!
Hi, thanks for the reply. That's something I didn't consider. I will check the RevolutionPi webpage for this possibility. What I didn't say in the first post was that other components of the project work, like setting digital outputs, reading digital inputs and performing PLC-only tasks like switching visualizations, writing and reading various variables. My problem seems to be some edge case then.
Good morning. i have just created two projects and a screenshot of the test i just re-did.
Hello everyone. As the title indicates I am having trouble with the communication via fieldbus between my PLC (a Kunbus RevolutionPi with RT Patch) and two stepper motor terminals EL7041. For a new project I would like to use CODESYS 3.5 SP 19 and the Softmotion Library 4.14.0.0. When creating the project I am using the automatic detection for EtherCAT components on the fieldbus and then change the EL7041 from the device description provided by Beckhoff to the one provided by 3S (HW Revision 24,...
