In this case I get error 1178 [1]

  1. Error 1178 in the context of servo motor direction control typically indicates an issue related to the configuration or command sent to the motor controller. This error might be arising due to an incorrect parameter value or command syntax when attempting to change the direction of the servo motor, as you mentioned trying to use mcDIR_NEGATIVE which isn’t correct. The proper way, as noted earlier, involves setting the Direction parameter to mpAXIS_DIR_NEGATIVE. Ensure this is correctly applied to avoid encountering error 1178, which can be linked to misconfiguration or misunderstanding the command syntax in the control software. (Explanation by AI) ↩︎
