Hey CodeShepherd, Thanks so much for the hint, I totally forgot to link the Axis Profile to the Axis. That was the bridge that was missing! Look below. Everything is running perfectly with PLCopen fbs. Awesome! My last comment here regards the CXA_PLCopen.MC_ReadActualVelocity, which is not working (value remais at zero). At the Axis page in the web server the velocity value also does not update. Any plans to calculate it internally in next releases? My Motion app is 1.12.5 and my PLC app is 1.12.4. Thanks so much again for your patience!

Hi again CodeShepherd, I've been trying to use the MC_Power but I keep having no action on the drive. Stays on Ab and the CtrlX-Core does not report any error. However, when I map the IOs directly via my own PLC variables, I am able to jump to AF and then, perform Position Control lagless with success (no problem). Look at screenshot below. How did you map your Axis_Test (DataLayerNode) >> DataLayerNode I/O Mapping? Have you used a pre-defined variables from the CXA_PLCopen or CXA_Basic libraries? I really would like to use the PLCopen fb instead of using the S-0-0047 directly. Thanks in advance again! 🙂

Hello CodeShepherd, Thanks so much for your kind reply. To be honest I would rather prefer using our function blocks directly without using 3rd party libraries (codesys). Do you have any manual or step by step guide on how to set-up/configure the AXIS_REF? Because my axis here (the DataLayerNode) below is simply a DED.CAADiagDeviceDefault and not a proper AXIS_REF. Thanks so much!

Hello everyone, I am configuring here a CtrlX-Core handling a single IndraDrive Cs via EtherCat SoE. My goal at this moment is simply use the Codesys SoftMotion libraries in order to show existing customers that they could easily switch from MLC to CtrlX-Core and still comfortably use the PLC-Open function blocks. I was able to configure the axis and the EtherCat Master at the CtrlX Works IO, as well as configuring the SoftMotion at the CtrlX Works PLC. However, it does not look like the PLC is in charge of the axis, after booting, the CtrlX-Core switches the axis from Init to OP (no problem), but I still can not PowerOn the axis using the SM3_Basic.MC_Power function block. I am using CtrlX Works 1.12.9 here with IndraDrive Cs MPC20V. I have tried to use the Drive as ServoDrive Profile and ServoDrive Profile No DriveEnable bit check, but none worked out. I tried to add the S-0-0134 and S-0-0135 in the AT/MDT lists but those parameters are deleted when the drive reaches OM. I have followed all the steps from the link below (including adjusting the Main Task as External Event 07), but so far no success. https://developer.community.boschrexroth.com/t5/Store-and-How-to/CODESYS-Softmotion-How-to-configure-ctrlX-CORE-and-Drives/ba-p/56123 Please, take a look at the files below. Any help is very much appreciated. 🙂

Hi Uwe, Thanks again for your kind reply. We have a customer based here in Canada that constantly uses a TTL as the line encoder (Encoder Axis) of its rollforming machine. Not having support on TTL encoders would mean not being able to sell CtrlX-Drive as the Flying Shear for this specific customer. They would only use this product for simple pick and place applications. Is it possible to have a specific CtrlX-Drive Firmware (maybe extra cost?) for such customers? Thanks again!
