Hi all , we recently have a project which requires the use off ethercat veichi servo drives, the manuals indicate the drives work with ds402 standard protocols but when installing the xml files for ethercat i dont see any ds402 options but the standard PDO messages are available to io map ie.control and status word.

Is there any method on how to setup 3rd party Ethercat servo drives preferably with ds402 standard

Hello Austin,

the DS402 option on a B&R controller only works with the Powerlink field bus. You can use a purely virtual axis and program the DS402 operation yourself.
