@Olorin @Jochen_Mueller I can reproduce the behavior with ctrlX CORE X3 and 30 virtual axes. I added this information to the Customer Issue.

@aFouraker , did you you test different values? Even without decimal digits? If yes, I think we need to open a T&R ticket. Do you have a simple project to reproduce the problem?

@aFouraker, when you focus on PLC code, you can save the files on the OEM partition (OEM\ProjectData\PLC). If you restore these files and reboot the control, the original PLC code should run again. If you use persistent data in the PLC, it is getting a little more complicated. Please check the documentation about C-0-1001 and C-0-1002. With these commands you can save and restore persistent data (PLC variables and C-/A-Parameter) to a file (\OEM\ProjectData\MLC_NVRAM.bak). But some of the parameters are not included in this file. They are stored in parameterfiles in \OEM\ProjectData\PAR. Following scenario could be possible: - check if bootproject has changed (/OEM/ProjectData/PLC/Application.app) - stop plc - switch to P2 - restore plc-, parameter- and NVRAM files - excute C-0-1001 - reboot control I didn't try this yet. So please check it carefully before implementing this at a customer machine.

Hello @aFouraker, I want to share some thoughts with you: 1) Parameter: You could monitor changes of paramter via the checksum functionality. See A-0-0012, C-0-0112 and S-0-0326. A backup could be executed in the PLC or via MLPI. 2) PLC Code: I think you could monitor changes with checking the diagnostic logbook. The messages should be in A03** range. Another possibility would be checking the file date of the bootproject on the OEM partition with FTP or SFTP. But you need to download the sourcecode anyhow. You could activate automatic download in the IndraWorks Project, or you need to download a new archive manually after every change. I think the archive could be monitored and downloaded via FTP/STFP, but for the automatic source download I am not sure. I think you can only use it, when you upload it from the MLC with IndraWorks. Therefore you could create an image of the XM controller with FirstTouch, but I am not sure how to do this in an automated way. I don't know if MLPI could handle this. I hope this gives you some ideas. Best regards, Jörg FYI: @Thoomas

Hi Luca, if you would like to use S-0-0520, you need to change the main operation mode to "Position control with axis control word". This can be done in ctrlX IO Engineering. And in the AxisProfile you need to configure S-0-0386 instead of S-0-0051 to use as actual position. Now you should be able to use the Motion App and PLCopen to command the axis. Of course you need to set reference for each encoder before. Regards, Jörg
