Hello,
What is the current and future plan for following an external encoder, aka Real Master? I know there will be encoder modules with ctrlX IO coming soon. What about a secondary encoder on ctrlX DRIVE? I assume we add S-0-0053 to the AT in ctrlX IO Engineering. Ideally there would be a special Axis Profile for encoder axis which only requires S-0-0053 to be mapped. The only thing I know to do is use an EtherCAT task in the PLC to feed this position (as %IDXX) into a virtual axis using MB_CyclicSetPoint. But there is no built-in deadtime compensastion or filtering in this case.
Best regards,
Brian
