Torque Control with AxisInterface

[David08]

Hello,

There is a way to use the Torque Control, programming with AxisInterface and the Motion app.
Is it possible to change the operation mode manually on the Drive to select torque control and do the rest of the programming with AxisInterface?

If I add the power control in the Datalayer of the PLC, AxisInterface does not work and I cannot force the operation mode.

Thanks in Advance.

Hello,
until now it is not possible to use torque mode with axisinterface beacuse there are no commands for torque implemented in the motion.
The only way to use torque in the drive would be to handle the drive as an io and control it completely from plc side.

Hello Michael_A,

Thank you for your resply.
Is there a plan to implement it in the future?

Hello David

The realization of the torque mode within the motion app (and the additional PLC support PLCopenFB, MotionInterface) is planned for the RM 24.07. If this feature really come will be decided beginn of 2024.

Hello @Jochen_Mueller ,

Is torque mode still on the roadmap for RM24.07 in the Motion app?
