Hello  CtrlXDrive Team

I have a question,In my project I used double Axis CtrlxDrive,Now one of the CtrlXDrive Axis  has been broken.I want to know if it possible to specify the EtherCAT address?

When I deleted one of the CtrlXIO configuration,the address will Automatic sorting.

I don't want to delete one of the broken axis configuration ,I just want to use Parking Axis funtion?But it is not possible.

How should I do?

Hello,

You can not associate profile, and this axis is equivalent to a virtual axis.

At the moment the EtherCat address is always auto incremented, so it will be resorted when changing the topology in ctrlX IO Engineering.

There will be a new feature in the next version 1.20 that drives can be identified via their names instead of logical address.

I did some test some time ago and used successfully parking axis mode of the ctrlX DRIVE. What means it is not working on your side?

Please send the drive parameter file in format "all parameters" to us. The "parking axis" command should work.
