I am trying to create a program to do some very basic moves with a stepper motor.
Our equipment is :
AZD-AEP drive with ethernet IP
AZM66AC_PF7.2 2.36 stepper motor
Unitronics US5-B10-T42 PLC with ethernet IP
Unilogic plc software
Here is the sequence we require
- At 1.1 secs we need to rotate 270 degrees
- At 2.2 secs we need to rotate 180 degrees
- At 3.0 secs we need to rotate 90 degrees
- At 3.7 secs we need to rotate 90 degrees
- At 4.4 secs we need to rotate 90 degrees
If anyone could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Thank you for the reply
I am struggling a bit with the ethernet /ip protocol that we need to use but I think I am just missing a couple of detail to complete this process.
I have successfully changed the drive parameter using the Mexe02 V4 software
I have also entered in the 5 positions I require and tested them with success using the teach function in Mexe02
I have been able to set the ip addresses on the plc and the servo drive and the com light on the drive turns solid green indicating I have communication.
I have included timers in my PLC program to enable me to send commands at the appropriate time for the moves I require
I have looked at all of the unitronics examples for motion control and it seems that they all involve using the CAnopen protocol and move commands
The issues I have remaining are:
I am unclear on how to generate the position movements that will be sent by the call to the servo drive. Do you possibly have an example of what one would typically look like. For now I have placed call functions in the places that will become my movements
Thank you and have a great Thanksgiving weekend
