    Hi All,
    I have done various tests with ethercat on the raspberry Pi and codesys, including virtual drives etc.
    However I would like to ask how to use a Beckhoff Ax5000 series drive and Am8032 Motor.
    I have installed the Device repository and scanned the system and found the drive unit.
    But at this point I am stuck, the ethercat does't run on the servo drive and I am not sure how to tell codesys the motor type.

    Any pointers would be a great help thanks.

    Hello,

    Have you added the Beckhoff EtherCAT XML file?

    You also need to add an axis to the solution tree, in here you can configure settings.
