Hello CtrlXDrive Team

I have a question,In my project I used double Axis CtrlxDrive,Now one of the CtrlXDrive Axis has been broken.I want to know if it possible to specify the EtherCAT address?

When I deleted one of the CtrlXIO configuration,the address will Automatic sorting.

I don't want to delete one of the broken axis configuration ,I just want to use Parking Axis funtion?But it is not possible.

How should I do?

At the moment the EtherCat address is always auto incremented, so it will be resorted when changing the topology in ctrlX IO Engineering.

There will be a new feature in the next version 1.20 that drives can be identified via their names instead of logical address.

I did some test some time ago and used successfully parking axis mode of the ctrlX DRIVE. What means it is not working on your side?
