Hi, I've noticed that when I insert a display on a ctrlX drive (when powered up), this works normal the first time: the display shows the current drive state, all functions are available (panel/type plate/device functions/etc). When the display is removed and another display is inserted, error message F2901 (communication error) appears. On the display it is only possible to browse through the panel settings (as if the drive panel is connected as USB device to a pc), the other options are not visible. It is possible to make a USB-C connection to a pc. If the first display is inserted back into the drive, all functions are available again. It seems like the drive only accepts the first display that is connected after powerup, and rejects others. After a reboot any other display that is connected first shows the same behavior. This makes it impossible to use the display for quick diagnostics (view error code, no usb-c connection to pc required) on a drive in a running machine to which another display has been connected since the last reboot of the drive. Is there a way to make the drive ' accept' a connection to the second display, without rebooting the device? System info: Drive panel firmware: V116 ctrlX drive : seen with both 03V08 and 04V02 firmware

Hi @Binarus, It should be possible to write a value to the drive control word on the datalayer there. With a similar setup (ctrlX core OS V2.4 and MPE20 drive) I can write a value both from the datalayer in the webinterface and via a rest client, e.g. to set the drive from state Ab to AH with value 35840. Is the etherCAT master + slaves in state OP, and the drive in state Ab (visible on display) when you are sending the command? What response do you receive if you send a PUT request via restAPI? Does the drive receive the new control word value (can be checked with the parameter editor in Indraworks/ctrlX drive engineering)?

Hi @AndroidzZ, This certificate seems to be auto-generated in the codeysys-RT certificate environment, and cannot be managed from the ctrlX core certificate environment. (We confirmed in the certificates menu of the ctrlX core web interface, that this expiration date does not refer to the web server certificate of the ctrlX core, which has a lifetime of 15 years by default) You can renew the certificate by accessing the codesys-RT certificate store with the PLC shell in ctrlX PLC Engneering: Open the PLC shell Verify the number of the app by entering 'cert-getapplist' in the command line Enter “cert-genselfsigned [<number retrieved by "cert-getapplist"> <expdays=>]”, so if you want to generate a certificate for secure communication (CmpSecureChannel) which is valid for 1 year, then enter "cert-genselfsigned 1 365" Enter "cert-getcertlist" to view all certificates Remove the old certificate with "cert-remove own <nr>" (the number can be found with the cert-getcertlist command) If this does not work, you can also delete the existing web server certificate (cert-getcertlist --> cert-remove own <nr>), then a new one is generated automatically with a validity of 50 years. (This method only works if there is no web server certificate left on the core - maybe you need to remove more then one certificate to achieve this)

I have no experience with login in to XMxx controls via NAT, but for the older controls (compatible with Indraworks version 12) ports 1200 and 1210 needed to be added to the NAT rules to login to the control. In the manual those ports correspond with the Indralogic gateway. For the XM2x the manual refers to ports 1740-1742 (UDP) and 11740/11741 (TCP) for communication to the gateway - maybe these could work?

Hi, For a quick test on my desk i would like to operate an XCS drive with a 24V power supply. If i connect the power supply directly to the XD01 connector, the DC bus is not charged (with Indradrive this does happen). Is there a setting for ctrlX drive that makes it possible to go to Ab with only 24V supplied at the AC power connector? Or is this only possible by directly connecting 24V to the DC bus (this works but is less convinient for quick connection)?
