Hello
Is it possible to read drive parameters that do not suit standard format in PLC program? I am familiar with IL_ECATSoeRead which I have used OK to read S-0-0095 for example but I cannot see any method of retrieving parameter values which have extended numbers like S-0-1300.0.5
Is it possible?
Many thanks

This parameter is of a 64bit type that was later introduced to SERCOS but EtherCat is working on 32bit so it cannot be handled directly. For some parameters there are alias parameters that can used but unfortunately not for S-0-1300.0.5
One possibility would be to use the ctrlX CORE - DriveConnectApp that will map all drive parameter to the data layer and use a standard CXA_DataLayer.DL_ReadNode to "devices/drives/<drive SN>/axis-1/parameters/S-0-1300.0.5/data" to get the value:
