Hello,
is there any chance to get a feedback that axis is in "parking axis"?
A ctrlX Core and ctrlX Drive is used. There are two parameters / commands for starting and ending parking axis.
In help I just found the status-word S-0-0135. Bit 14 & 15 are "00" when in parking. But this is just a "ready" feedback and not an explicit "parking" feedback. And ctrlX Core doesn't recognise anything while there is no power.
First, if "power on" then an error:
In former times when used an IndraDrive instead ctrlX Drive there was just one command to start parking. Parking was active as long as command was active. So with checking the command it was possible to find out if axis is in parking mode or not.
Now, the command (C1600) goes back to "0" after executing. To re-activate the drive (ending parking axis) another command (C1700) is to use. With IndraDrive command ended with switch from OM to PM automatically. In ctrlX Drive it keeps alive. So it is important to read out in which state the drive is.
Using S-0-0135 is not good. Becaus if Drive is in PM or CM bit 14&15 are both "00" and therefore not an indicator for axis in "PA" (and for OM not explicit enough).
For my use case it's strongly important to connect/disconnect engines at drives during runtime by customer, depending on how many engines are currently needed.

You will get the information in P1744 (S139.0.152) value = 3 = PA

Thanks a lot
Misunderstood help, searched for a "current status" and not for an "init status"
