There are a couple of different comparison tools. What type of parameters and device data are you wanting to compare? I'm assuming you're using IndraWorks Engineering. Project Compare Right-click current project in Project Explorer > Compare Select another project/archive for comparison When the Comparison window is shown, click Direct Sub-Elements and drill-down into the MLC/Controller in the project With the MLC selected in the Direct Sub-Elements tab, on the Control Data tab you can expand the Parameters (C) at the bottom of the comparison list If you want to see drive parameter (A) comparison in the project, you can drill down further in the Direct Sub-Elements tab until the Axis is selected Drive parameter file comparison (S&P) This is a tool intended to compare drive parameter files, though it may compare parameter files for others as well Go to Menu Bar > Tools > Drive > File Viewer > View and compare parameters... It will allow you to select two parameter files (.par, .pbf) to compare parameter sets. It will show same values in white, changed values in red, and missing parameters in blue

I'd just like to expand on Stefan's reply a bit. If I'm understanding correctly, you're using IndraWorks Ds and want to connect to a drive. You've tried plugging your Ethernet cable from your PC/laptop into the network hub of the machine, which is connected to the Engineering Port (X7E5) on your MLC. You've tried connecting to the drive through the MLC, which is at IP address 192.168.1.8 (on the Engineering Port, X7E5). I believe the issue is that using IndraWorks Ds, you can only connect directly to drives; you can't connect to an MLC or pass a connection through it to the drives. To connect to the drive, you have two options. 1) You need to connect to the Sercos bus/network as Stefan has suggested. 2) If you have IndraWorks Engineering, you can connect to the MLC through the Engineering Port, which will also allow you to interact with the drives if you have the Sercos configuration in your project file.

It sounds like you have a relative/single-turn encoder instead of an absolute/multi-turn encoder. What's the type code of the motor connected to the drive? A Bosch-Rexroth motor type-code should have an indication of the encoder type. A relative/single-turn encoder requires re-homing after power cycles or going to parameter mode. A relative/single-turn encoder does not keep track of the position over multiple turns, so when the drive is powered off or has entered parameter mode, the drive can't be sure that the encoder didn't move while it wasn't monitoring. An absolute encoder reports its actual position to the drive over many turns of the encoder. After losing power or entering parameter mode with an absolute encoder, the drive can trust the encoder position and knows if it has moved. From the IndraWorks help file (General information on establishing the position data reference) . "The position data reference of a relative measuring system to the axis has to be re-established each time the drive is switched on or after the position data reference is lost (switching to PM). For this it is necessary to move to a defined axis position and set the actual position value to an axis-related value in a defined position."
