Hello, I have XCD drive with integrated ctrlx Core. I want to test drivelink functionality, but I have not been able to command slave axis from ab to Af. S135 must be included in the ethercat configuration, but I am unable to write to it. Using Motion app to access S135 is also not possible, because Motion app forces me to map S47 (Cyclic position control), which I want to read from the drivelink master axis instead of motion app. I tried to work around this by setting drive profile to Soe, bit 14 "drive enable" not evaluated and use P116 directly, without success. I suppose this would be easier, if I could change drive communication protocol to e.g sercos, but apparently this is not possible with the integrated core. Any suggestions which parameter I can use to set enable and how the master communication should be configured? ... View more

Hi, It seems that with indradrive it was possible to change gear ratio "on the fly" by changing parameter set. However, with ctrlX this doesn't seem possible anymore. I have an application that requires gear switching. Any suggestions on how to approach this with ctrlX drive? ... View more

Hi, With indradrive, it is stated that using PWM frequency of 6000 Hz the controller's continuous current data of 8000 Hz apply. Is this the case also for ctrlX drive? I intend to use velocity dependent PWM switching using switching frequency of 12 kHz. I need to know which continous current applies for this, since the project planning manual does not specify anything for 6 kHz. ... View more
