Hi guys,
Im currently trying to test a Ethercat drive (AZD-KED) with an Oriental step motor (AZM46AK) via motion app.
At first I did the IO Engineering and set up the Ethercat Master, everything is working.
Then I created the matching Axis Profil and mapped all of the four variables.
Then I created the Axis in the Motion app and connect the Axis profile.
When I know try to run the Motion app, i will get an error, see in the picture above.
This are the changes i did in the data layer based on other threads.
Do you have any ideas, what the problem could be? I just want to try the drive in the motion app and use it then in my plc program. I did nothing in the PLC Engineering tool at the moment, I only cofigured the Ethercat Master in the IO Engineering tool.
Thanks for your help.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Our ctrlX MOTION is expecting/using a CiA402 protocol standard. Please check your drive does support this.
Could you please have a look to this thread for further information?
