I found out why the error message popped up when switching the slave drives from PM to OM. I had the S240 configured in the process data in ctrlX I/O engineering, which I had tested the power on by using PLC program. when using digital I/O to turn the power the parameters for power handling can't be assigned in the process data. the bus communication overwrites the parameters in the slave drives. that was good to have a chance to learn that. now all of the axes are up running. by the way the second axis of XMD double axis drive needs the S240 assigned to a digital input to be able to turn the axis from BB to AB.

I am setting up a 4 axes demo with a XCD and a XMD. I did follow the document of Suitable Power ON/OFF ctrlX Drive and the parameters listed in the document are outdated for ctrlX WORKS WRK-V-0112.7. I figured out the parameters for XCD after having tried and errored. here is what I found for XCD. however when I worked on the slave side(XMD) the manual shows using bit 0 of S240, but it doesn't work. I checked the parameters from the pull-down list and non of the similar ones worked. S240 showed 1 in the bit0. I can get the XCD into AB through a power on/off switch, but not XMD. here is the error message I got when I switched the drive from PM to OM. please advise the correct parameter for DC power control word on the slaves, or if I have missed some settings somewhere else. or tell me what is a correct way to switch the slave into AB using digital I/O to power on the slave drives. Thanks,

Thank you Uwe for that. I did find the same document and it is really good.

Hello Uwe, the parameter file didn't work on my demo. I did change the communication from sercos to EtherCat and it always did allow to switch the drive to PM mode. now I got the motor repaired and I had all axes showed up correctly and referenced. there is one issue I haven't figured out that is two axes on the drive with core are in AB mode and two axes on XMD drive are in BB mode. it mentions S-0-0240.0.0 is for DC bus contrl, but it won't allow me to change. I haven't find a document on how to turn on the DC bus power for a XMD. is the S-240 has to be programed? I would like to think all axes should be able to be commissioned from the axes of webpage, but it doesn't work if a drive BB. can you please tell me how to turn the XMD into LB mode? here is how power is configured. here is DC bus status in drive with core here is DC bus status in XMD drive. Thanks,

Thank you for the suggestion. I have a XCD and XMD connected on the network. the one motor not connected is on XMD. I could delete the the from IO configuration and transfer the configuration down to the core as you mentioned. then I assigned one axis with motion profile to the axes in motion. the status showed all in OP, but the LED on XMD was flashing red. however when I tried to switch to the axes in ctrlX drive engineering after having all axes connected it showed an error message and didn't allow me to do anything with axes on XMD. the error message was "the connection to the indradrive could not be established", but the axes was scanned and downloaded to the core and EtherCat status showed all in OP. I don't know what else will cause this issue.
