I have a problem with the parameter S-0-0145. I use this parameter to set the output pin 8 from the drive. The problem is that the parameter keeps getting overwritten by something to 0. In my PLC program where I set the parameter it says it's true but when I check the drive parameter in the drive engineering then I see it switching between 0 and 1. So right now I have a pulse signal that is coming out of my drive. Has anyone encountered this problem before?

I have an SFTP server running on a controller connected to the CtrlX. This server has a file that I want to read in the CtrlX with a python script. I want to create a SFTP client with node-red and store the file somewhere on the core preferable on the sd card. After the file is stored on the core I want to use a python script to read this file and depending on the content of the file do something with it. Is this is possible? I know the FTP topic is discussed multiple times on this forum but I couldn't found a clear answer so that's why I'm posting this. Thanks in advance.

I'm working with a ctrlx drive with an integrated core. The drive primary operation mode needs to be in velocity control. But everytime at startup it will go to position control. I know that you can change the parameter value S-0-0032 in the IO engineering to change this. The only thing I don't know is what value this needs to be to set it to Velocity control. I hope someone can tell me what this value is.

The problem has been solved. The problem was that my drive had some wrong settings because of this it wasn't able to read the inputs from my io module. But strangely it could set the outputs in the io module. So if you want to read the inputs from your IO station you need to make sure that the entire ethercat bus is correct.

I have a program where I have a CtrlX drive with an integrated core. This drive communicates with ethercat to an io module. This module has 1 16 channel input module and 2 16 output channel. When I add the ethercat_master_instance_ethercatmaster and have linked the correct channels to the correct variables then my problem occured that my program isn't seeing the inputs. My inputs are always false and they won't change. On the IO module I see the leds so I know that the inputs are active. It is possible for me to set the outputs in my program. And because I can set the outputs I don't know where the problem lies. I want to know why I can't read the inputs in my program, do I need to do something extra in the IO engineering? Or do I need to look at something else. Thanks in advance
