zed Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 hello, i was under the impression that the ecat module would allow control of third party drives using the built in motion code (MC_...) but it seems when I load the ESI file I have access to drive parameters with SDO read/write but no way to actually control it. I can't seem to add the drive or its related axis to the hardware configuration or program motion logic for it. I am missing something? Does the built in motion code only work for unitronics servo drives and motors? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. The internal commands and parameter modifiers of the function blocks are Unitronics specific. Joe T. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
