Hello,

A Ethercat Servo is a 3rd Party device and i do not have a Description File for such a motor at hand. But i know that it is intended to use a PureVirtualAxis with GeneralPurposeAxisInterface Mode DS402 for this UseCase.

Here the Documentation in AS-Help:
DS402 CSP - Cyclic synchronous position

In General you have to create:

  1. Axis-Configuration Object

  2. PureVirtualAxis-Configuration Object

  3. Link both objects by the Axis Reference

  4. Create a Variable Structure which Contains Variables for the DS402 Interface

  5. Link the Variables to the PureVirtualAxis-Configuration

  6. Link the Variables to your 3rd Party Field Bus ethercat servo

  7. Setup Mapp Cockpit

Follow up with the Testing.

Hello,
I am happy to read this.
If you like you can share some Screenshots as a Guide for others aswell, if you like.
Was there a special “stepping stone” you had to overcome which was maybe difficult to find in the Help?

Greetings
Michael
