ACS2 servo drive controlled by motion (EtherCAT CoE): Power up error

[JimmyWan]

Hello,

I use ctrlX Motion (EtherCAT CoE) to control Le-AutomatiX ACS2 servo drive.

When click power, the drive is actually powered up and goes into “run” mode without error, but motion report error:

From CoE Online data monitoring: we can see control word 0x6040 is set correctly, and drive feedback right status word 0x6041 without any error or toggle. Driver has no problem, so I think there is some problem with the Motion app reading drive status!

Please see attached detail information and deice xml file.

We have/had a bug in switching those drives to power. It will solved in the version 2.02 coming up end of July.

EDIT: We will implement an improvement of being able to work with 3rd party drives in version 1.20.1. See this post.

I know the root cause, and we have aready fixed the problem by changing the software of ACS2 drive, so it's not urgent for us to update Motion app.
