HI All,
I'm using the XCD drive for the first time. In my case with a keba motioncontroller. THe drives are being recognized and set in operation mode by the controller. I have given both drives an address. As soons as I activate the address check in my motioncontroller project the drives are not recogized anymore. With the XCS single axis drive this wasn't an issue. I think I need to enter a different address offset since this is a double drive but I can't find the addresses in the help or on this forum.

The drive is a double drive. But in the Ethercat this are two "independed" drives which means they have two adresses and the master controller should see this drives as two seperate units.
Please use the correct XML file for this XMD which you can download from the product page / product description.
You should scan it as two separate axis.

Hi Pinball_NL,
Thank you for your response. I've taken the drive description that is installed together with the CtrlX Drive Engineering 01V28.3. Firmware version is V0504. I only had to excange the Connector moduleType 67 in the description to add the axis node of our motion controller. Both the axis have their own device description And I have 2 field to define the address of each drive. Somehow with the double drive this isn't working. Like i mentioned before with the single axis inverter (XCS) this wasn't a problem.
