Solved: Interface change to the drive after switching from CtrlX3 to CtrlX7

V_A · ‎07-13-2023

Hello,
the interface has changed due to the switch from a CtrlX3 to a CtrlX7.
The apps EtherCAT Master V1.12.4 and Motion V1.12.7 were used before.
The EtherCAT Master V1.20.1 and Motion V1.20.0 apps are used with the new controller.
Here are the images of the interfaces.
Is there already documentation for the interfaces?
I have the problem that the "controller enable" signal does not reach the drive.

CtrlX3:

CtrlX7:

Hello, you added all the cyclic data to your plc application. I think this is the problem here.
Remove the MDT.Position_Command_value and MDT.Master_control_word from the PLC (like it was on the X3)
Then it should work. In your actual configuration it can be that the PLC will write a 0 to this data in every cycle and so the signal will never be <> 0
