Indradrive parameter mode (P2) not enabled
Hello. I'm trying to activate programming mode on a Rexroth Indradrive servo. This servo is connected to a PPC-R22.1 device via SERCOS. When I connect to the servo through IndraWorks 14VRS and try to activate P2 mode, it's disabled. It seems the PPC-R22.1 is causing the issue. To connect to this device, I need VisualMotion 11 software. I've read that this software is free and license-free, but I haven't been able to find it. I don't know if there's another way to activate P2 mode. Thank you in advance for your kind assistance. 107/06/2026IndraDrive Mi: Mixed operation of SD and L3
Hello community, I am currently designing a decentralized drive line with a customer and would appreciate your technical feedback on our safety concept. System Architecture: 1x XCU and 12x IndraDrive Mi (KSM02). Master Communication: EtherCAT. Safety Setup: - Drive 1 (First Axis): KSM02 with SafeMotion (SD) option, controlled via FSoE. - Drives 2 to 11: KSM02 with STO (L3) option . - Drive 12 (Last Axis): KSM02 with SafeMotion (SD) option, controlled via FSoE. - All Axis are on the same Safety Zone Is this configuration possible? Is it possible to use the digital outputs on connector X141 (X141.1 and X141.2) on the first SafeMotion axis (Drive 1 with SD) to select the "Safe Torque Off (STO)" signal for the L3 axes (Drives 2–11)? Thanks for your feedback. Daniel 206/23/2026EFC5610 with diagnostic 9SC Surge current
Hello support, We have an application using 160Kw EFC5610 to run and control a 200KW motor. Intermittently we are getting diagnosis 9 SC surge current. It is possible to operate the motor up to the full speed of 1790 rpm without error occurring. So therefore we have discounted the suggested causes of failure for motor Short Circuit or Inverter module failure. Parameter set attached Any thoughts? Thanks in advance 206/22/2026IndraDrive HCS01 – F2087 Module Group Communication Error. Non-resettable
Hi everyone, I'm dealing with a persistent F2087 – Module group communication error on a single IndraDrive unit and I'm hoping someone has seen this before. Drive details: Drive: HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-B-ET-EC-NN-NN-NN-FW Firmware: FWA-INDRV*-MPB-20V32-D5-1-NNN-NN Communication: EtherCAT, connected to a ctrlX CORE What happened: The drive ran fine for a period, then the F2087 fault started appearing sporadically. Over time it became constant and non-resettable — even after restarting the EtherCAT bus, the ctrlX CORE, and the drive itself. What we've already checked: EMC, grounding, and cabling have all been verified A second identical machine (same setup, FW MPB-20V26) runs without any issues The fault is isolated to this one drive The drive was swapped with a replacement unit — the fault did NOT follow the drive, meaning the replacement drive runs without issues in the same position This points away from a pure hardware defect on the original drive and suggests something in the setup, configuration, or firmware may be the cause. Has anyone experienced F2087 becoming non-resettable like this, and if so, what was the root cause? Thanks in advance! 306/22/2026Copy compact flash card

Hello, I have an IndraWorks MLD project in which I am trying to add a CCD slave component (S20 I/O), but nothing happens when I use the add function. There are no errors or warnings—the add menu simply closes. I also tried adding other components, with the same result. However, if I open another similar project, I can add CCD slave components without any issues. Which project-specific settings should I adjust to fix this? 206/09/2026NFS issue, mout of several machines
Hello I've an office PC and 7 machines and I would like to connect one folder of my office PC to each machine. All are in the same network, 192.168.1.xyz So I installed the NFS on my office PC, modified the export.us to my needs. Then opend one route with route -p add 192.168.142.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.79 and setup my first machine. IP-routing is enabled, so I mount my folder. That was working well. Then I opened a second route and setup my second machine. Unfortunately this is not working, no connection. The NC-reboot Mode 0 tooks really long and once ended it shows some error messages in IW-Operation. Someone an idea? I already double and tripple checked nearly everything. Each machine has a fix IP-address in my company network Also each machine has it's own IP-address for the CML/XM42 I'm slowly losing hope. Thank you 705/21/2026Indraworks Sercos Data Transfer to Allen Bradley
I am trying to understand the data transfer between the SERCOS drives in our Indraworks program over to our Allen Bradley PLC program. The biggest thing I am confused about is how you set up the starting point for the signal status and signal control words. The "C3_Bosch_Unload..." is the name of the Ethernet module card. You can see from the attached pictures that M187_1 and M187_2 are higher up in the project Explorer Tree in the Indraworks program, but are further down the array tag "C3_Bosch_Unload:I.Data" in the Allen Bradley program. M183 is further down the project explorer tree in the Indraworks program, but is higher up in the "C3_Bosch_Unload:I.Data". How is the starting point set for where these data values are going to be in the Allen Bradley array tag? 205/20/2026Rexroth Indralogic Motion controller User management

In my system, I have set up the Indra works engineering and also loaded the project. Even the vpn connection is all set in my system and I am able to login to the controller through the Indra works. I have installed Mlpi sdk version 1.22.0(even tried with 1.29.0) and added the reference to my C# project. Using commlpiLib i am able to connect to the controller with valid credentials and IP from the C# application. How can i proceed ahead with the user management in C# using this library. What i actually want to achieve is: 1)Create users. 2)create groups 3)Assign group to the user 4)Assign persmissions to the group All these things what we are able to do from indraworks. I have tried with the following statement in c#: MlpiAccessControlLib accessControl = new MlpiAccessControlLib(); accessControl.AddUser( "newUser", "password123", "User Full Name", "" ); it gives error as MlpiAccessControlLib does not exist in commlipLib Also there is no MlpiNet.dll in the installer. How shall i go ahead with this. Thank you 505/18/2026HMV thermal load parameter
Hello, I want to monitor the thermal load of a HMV power supply using DriveTop. I know that for drives HCS/HMS, the thermal load is shown in the parameter P-0-0141. What would be the corresponding parameter for the power supply? And, at what % is the power supply sending to the drives the warning E2086? Thank you, 404/17/2026E8260, F8079 E2074 diagnosis at Indradrive with 3rd Party Motor.
Hello support i am attempting to commission a 3rd party synchronous motor / Endat 2.2 at Indradrive controller. (Siemens 1FW6230-0TB05-5GC3 with Heidenhain ECA4410 / ECA4400) The axis appears to commutate correctly using saturation method of commissioning and will rotate at the command velocity (30 rpm)allegedly under control. After 5 to 10 seconds of operation the drive reports E8260 Torque / Force command Value Limit is active although it appears as though we have the fully allocated limit of 1686.7Nm available to use (Motor has 101A pk current and 16.7Nm/A Torque constant) We have also seen occurrences of F8079 Velocity Limit Value exceeded with extended diagnostic 00340003 output frequency > 599Hz (Command speed at this time was 30rpm) There has also been occurrences of E2074 Motor Encoder signals are disturbed. Parameter set and encoder data sheet is attached below. Firmware has been upgraded to FWA-INDRV*-MPB20V38 from MPB20V32. There is no change in the status of the fault . 504/07/2026Indradrive Mi with "TO"

I am working with WinStudio from IndraWorks, version 15V22. I have an OPC-UA connection that is working. I insert a driver sheet using that connection. I can find the symbol file and load the variable from there and assign it to a tag. When I try to save the driver sheet, it opens the driver sheet number dialog, as if it is saving it. When I go through with this, it never shows up on the left side of the screen. Seems like it never gets saved. Any idea what is happening? Steve 203/24/2026emulation encoder issue

Hello, For a speed regulation purpose, I use the "SyncMode.FineAdjust" command to adapt the gear ratio of my slave axis to its master as they are running. I want to be able to handle the acceleration of the speed modulation that takes place when the fineadjust is updated. I use the "SyncMode.SyncAcceleration" but what I experience is that this parameter also defines the acceleration used to follow the speed of the master. So when I lower the syncacceleration value to smoothen the speed modulation due to the fineadjust change, the slave axis is not able to follow a speed change of its master. arAxisCtrl_gb[axAxisPIN.AxisNo].SyncMode.FineAdjust arAxisCtrl_gb[axAxisPIN.AxisNo].SyncMode.SyncAcceleration What would be the right way of doing ?

Good morning, I have an MTX V15.14 on an XM42. We recently had to replace the controller and one of the Drives (x axis/y axis) due to a bad Sercos port and a hard fault on the Controller that was unrecoverable. After replacing the components and getting the machine communication again, both axes get into AF but do not move in any manner through the control. However, if I go into easy startup mode in IWDS they are able to function without issue. I have no errors on the MTX Channel, no errors on the Axes, and no noticeable issues on the machine mechanically since we can run the axes in Easy Startup. Any ideas would be a great help. 502/05/2026CML75*-MLC-14VRS F9240006 Sys-Err

Regards, Yongqing Yu 211/10/2025Issue with External Encoder RS32-O/360ER.11KB on S20-INC-2 Module
Dear All, I hope you are having a great day. I am reaching out regarding a problem I am currently facing in IndraWorks while using an external encoder RS32-O/360ER.11KB with the S20 special function module (2 incremental encoder inputs, S20-INC-2). The red LED for 03 (Connector 3, incremental encoder 1) is lit, which indicates an encoder error. My connections are as follows: A1: 24V – Feed-in encoder supply B1: GND – Reference potential of the supply voltage Terminal point 2: Track A (incremental encoder 1) Terminal point 12: Track B (incremental encoder 1) Terminal point 22: Track Z (incremental encoder 1) Terminal point 32: +5V DC encoder supply for incremental encoder 1 Since it is a single-ended encoder, I am using the Asymmetrical encoder type. Could someone please guide me on what could possibly be causing the S20-INC-2 module to show an error? 111/06/2025XM22 RT Ethernet Profinet Device Setup

Hi🤠 , Bosch Rexroth IndraMotion MTX seems to have four versions: micro, standard, performance, and advanced. I’d like to know where I can find some technical documents about them. I’m currently learning data acquisition, and I want to know whether the MTX versions used by customers support the OPC UA protocol. Also, when I visit a customer site, how can I quickly check if their MTX supports OPC UA? Is there any document I can refer to for this? Thanks! 310/28/2025Byte Misalignment

Hello, In our ML project manual, there is the rated and max. data with 2kH. Is this means we can set the ML PWM to 2kHZ for normal operation in our engineering tools? . B.R Henry 110/24/2025To control an asynchronous motor with an HCS02
Hello everyone, As part of an application development, I’m controlling an asynchronous motor without an encoder using an HCS02 drive, reference: R911305034 (R911298374 + R911338543 + R911347141). The motor is operating correctly; I have no issues controlling it. My problem arises during machine startup. When I power off and restart the machine, the drive automatically sets Second Op Mode 2 to Position control drive controlled. Since there is no encoder feedback, this setting is not suitable, and the drive switches to PM mode. When I manually force this parameter to 0, the drive exits PM mode, and I’m able to start the machine. However, this setting reappears at every startup, which leads me to believe that the PLC is writing this parameter again. On the PLC side, I’m using an MLC L75 which communicates with the drive via SERCOS. The program is based on the GAT framework. Here are my questions: Does my reasoning seem correct to you? Is it the PLC that is rewriting this parameter at startup? Where should I look in the PLC program (in the GAT structure) to modify or correct this behavior? Thanks in advance for your help. 210/20/2025HSC01 with Indraworks DS
