[etherlab-users] Using AX2000 series / S300 drive with EtherLab master

[Sebastien Blanchet]

Tom,

Indeed I drive the ADK through its analog input, and I use EtherCAT for 
monitoring only.

My AKD has both fieldbuses: EtherCAT & CAN.
When I try something new, I try in CAN mode first because it is easier. When it 
works in CAN mode, then I try in EtherCAT mode.

Last year, I have successfully executed most of the examples from the Kollmorgen 
documentation (AKD CAN-BUS Communication, section 8.2).
The last example is "8.2.2.1 Example: External Trajectory with Interpolated 
Position Mode" but I have not tried it.

regards,
