The error cam be cleared by Re-Initializing SoftMotion Axes. It can be done by executing "SMC3_ReinitDrive" function block; one for each axis. Be carefull to clear other later errors before assuming that it is not working. Which I did! Awards to Frank! Regards, Massimo

Hello
with Softmotion we have no experience here. But we are currently working for another customer on a solution for flying saw with metal forming.
This project will be with the ctrlX Core, our Motion and the Synchron Motion function. For more information please contact directly

Some additional settings must be made to configure and program a Sick Safety PLC via the EoE communication protocol.
Prerequisites
The instruction is based on:
ctrlX CORE V1.18
ctrlX CORE EtherCAT Master App V1.18
ctrlX PLC Engineering V1.18
ctrlX I/O Engineering V1.18
Enable IP forwarding in the ctrlX CORE on the eoe0 connector
Open the ctrlX CORE Web interface.
Go to the menu point "Settings" and chose the option "Network Interfaces".
Activate the switch "Enable IP forwarding".
Enable IP forwarding
Enable IP forwarding in the ctrlX CORE for the XF10 connector
Open the ctrlX CORE Web interface.
Go to the menu point "Settings" and chose the option "Network Interfaces".
Activate the switch "Enable IP forwarding".
Enable IP forwarding of XF10 interface
Setup the I/O configuration
Open the ctrlX I/O Engineering
Choose Scan for Devices… from the context menu from the item “ethercatmaster”.
Double click on the device "Flexi_Soft_Ethercat_Gateway".
Activate the checkbox "Virtual Ethernet port".
EoE Settings of the Sick ethercat gateway
Activate the window ethercat master and go there to the menu "EoE".
Please check if the configuration of the EoE is ok.

The IP address is the same number as the station address. In this example the IP address is 172.31.254.3 and the station address is 3.
Adjustment of Windows 10
Now you have to add a route to the windows system.
Please start the Dos Box as administrator with the command "cmd".

We checked internally what happende. Indead the commanded value jumps to "0" generating the excessive position jump. In the drive I did not find a way to accept this jump. While the commanded value jumps to "0" when you stop the plc, a solution can be to first move to "0" with the axis. And then stop the PLC programm to change code or whatever. It seems to be that the ctrlX drive accept this without generating the F4037. This can be a solution. The other way is that Codesys keeps a variable at the last known value. But PLC on STOP is as I told before a creul stop... I do not know if anything is possible, while STOP is a special kind of state....
