Read more parameters in the EFC with Ethercat CoE

[David08]

Hello,

I am trying to make an IoT application with EFC and CtrlX drives. I manage to control the EFC in Rexroth mode with Ethercat CoE, but I would like to be able to read more parameters than the default ones.
How can I extend the telegram to add more parameters?

I would like to add 2 or 3 monitoring group D parameters.

Thanks in advance.

If you need the data cyclically you have to extend the settings of the EtherCat master. Enable the expert settings and extend the PDO22 part.

If just need the data from time to time please use the acyclic communicaion CoE read function blocks in the PLC:
