Hello all, A question regarding Profinet IR and ctrlX drive, if that works together ? Situation is a customer using a Siemens S7-1500 and S210 drives. Communicaton between is done with Profinet IR. The functionality is in the PLC performing positioning (1 drive), electrical gearing (2 drives) and torque control (1 drive) by sending the setpoint to the drives. Is it possible to replace the S210 drives with our ctrlX Drive with Profinet option ? What if STO over Profisafe also is a requirement ? What is your recommendation and experience ? Best regards

Hello everyone, I found in the CodeSys Store the following from BE.Services POWERLINK Configuration Editor This product allows the configuration of POWERLINK networks. Article no. 000086 Industrial Control Systems implementing CODESYS can easily be turned into a POWERLINK Master (Managing Node – MN). The integration of the free open source openPOWERLINK stack and the additional CODESYS Runtime components from BE.services allow full support of the POWERLINK technology. The configuration of the POWERLINK network is available, fully integrated in CODESYS, with this package. Anybody heard of it and if possible if it is possible to run on the ctrlX Core ? The application is controlling frequency inverters on a powerlink network, where it is not possible to change the controller. Therefor the idea is to use our ctrlX core as a gateway between Powerlink and Ethercat, which would be a possibility to run on our EFC inverters. Best regards

Dear all, How can I add more axis when using the SKH app, for example for a rotary tool axis ? Is this possible in the app or can I manualy add the extra axis in the motion app and afterwards program it in the IDE program ? Best regards

Dear all, question about the SKH app. Let´s think about this scenario. I have a Smart kit for Handlig and use the app to program the cartesian robot. I want to program more robots afterwards, must i buy the app each time? When finished can I then remove the app from the ctrlX core, without loosing the entered parameters and program sequence? Can I then install the app on another cartesian robot (ctrlX core), to program the second robot or must the app stay on the first core ? Best regards
