XCD2 Drive with one motor

[Lauri]

Hello.

I have XCD Drive (integrated Core) with only one motor connected. Axis2 is parametrized as parking axis so that I can get bus to OP. Evereything works as it should: Ecat topology is ok, Motion is running and OK, PLC is running and ok and Core is in in Running state. Only thing is that the status Led stay blue and I cannot find the source that causes that. Could it be the parking axis? Is it possible to get to show green Led with this kind of set-up?

Better set the motor to be a 3rd party synchronous motor w/o using an encoder in SVC control (open loop). Then you don´t need to park the axis and will get the complete system to "green" light.
