FBs for ADS read/write over EtherCAT

[MaxS]

Hello,

I have a controller with TwinCAT connected via EtherCAT to a XCS drive. I'm writing in CtrlX PLC Engineering a program with the CtrlX Drive Technology function template which will be downloaded to the drive. I need that this program reads variables from the controller, is there a library with function blocks for ADS read/write operations?

Thanks.

Hello MaxS,

As far as I know there is a function to read a parameter from a slave with acyclic communication :

But this one is used as when the CtrlX Core is the Ethercat Master
