Has anybody experience with a fieldbus gateway from CANopen master to ctrlX DRIVE as sercos slave ?
Background: 5 XMD (double axis inverter) = 10 axes on a PLC with CANopen master.
This seems to be a solution !?: https://www.hilscher.com/de/produkte/produktgruppen/gateways/fuer-den-schaltschrank-ip20/feldbus-gat...

Yes, this is a possible solution. Similar solutions are available e.g. by Kunbus. But unfortunately I am not aware if we used such a solution in the field already successfully.

For information for others: I have now an working installation with a Hilscher netTAP100-RE-CO /+ML (=with sercos-Master Lizenz) gateway (CANopen-Slave with sercos-Master).
It was not easy for me first time to adjust this gateway but it works. Customer has a PLC with CANopen master and some ctrlX DRIVE are sercos slaves, between the Gateway from Hilscher.

Thanks for sharing the information. Nice would be to create a small How-To with the detailed settings on both the drive, the PLC side and the Hilscher netTap.
