ELMO Drive how to set Homing Parameters in ctrlX IO engineering?

Hello Community,

I am following the guide for connecting a ctrlX CORE with an Elmo Drive using the CXA_PLCOpen library. The function blocks are working correctly, and I am able to control the motor successfully.

However, I am encountering an issue when using the MC_Home function block. The homing parameters configured in the Elmo EAS III software are not retained after a restart. Once the drive is rebooted, the homing settings revert to their initial/default values.

I am trying to pull out the parameters so i can edit the homing parameter values from my PLC program instead of using the ELMO EAS III software.

When i download my ctrlX IO engineering EtherCAT configuration, the ELMO drive state will be in Pre-OP and will not switch to OP.

Below is my ctrlX IO project v4.6.0

Reference to MAN-P-CommandRef_Mar2025 Document Page 175 - DH Initiate Homing Method.

Is there something that i may have missed?
