Hello,
I am testing with a CtrlX starter Kit version 1.4 and would like to use the Ethercat Master with the HCS01 firmware 20.
I have configured the Drive as a slave to Ethercat SoE, and I have added in the CtrlX I/O repository the thercat xml for CS control cards.
CtrlX I/O recognizes the Drive when scanning the devices, but then an error occurs when passing OP.
Could you tell me the necessary configuration of ethercat for a HCS01.
Thanks in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Moved to ctrlX WORKS (IO Studio).

Did you use the function Search for devices ?

Hello,
Yes,:
Is the default configuration valid? Is it necessary to modify any parameter?
Thanks.

Hello David08,
could you please try the setting just changing the Distributed-Clock to freerun-mode.
Return to you tomorrow.

Hello Jens,
With the freerun-mode configuration and a Load Basic Parameters, the Drive already works with Ethercat correctly.
Thank you very much for the help.

Hello David08,
I just scanned scanned a ID with MPB20V and active ECAT-interface with IOEng from release ctrlXWorks-package 07/20 and the scan worked fine. the default settings with Distr.Clocks setup run instantly. No modifications had been necessary. Please compare your setup on the Ecat-Master (I did not modify them).
Since I can not remember to reloaded a MPX description file the deployment of ctrlX-Works should contain the ones that works for me.
Bye, Jens
PS: Please check and return with your respults anyway.

Hello Jens,
Yes, I have tried again with the default configuration, without touching the Distr.Clocks and it works perfectly. The problem I had yesterday, I think was some parameter out of range because I didn't do a factory reset to the Drive (It was previously working with another fieldbus configuration).
Thanks for everything.
Regards David.
