Cannot connect to the drive:
• Check that the PC's Ethernet adapter has been correctly configured, as described
in Configure the PC Ethernet adapter on page 22.
How do I configure my EtherCAT manager to operate with the MotiFlex e180?
• An EtherCAT ESI file (.xml) that describes the drive to the EtherCAT manager can
be uploaded from the controller using the Mint WorkBench EtherCAT tool. See
section EtherCAT tool on page 24.
I cannot control the MotiFlex e180 from my EtherCAT manager
The control (drive) reference source must be set to allow the EtherCAT manager to
take control of the MotiFlex e180. There are several ways to do this:
• Set the CONTROLREFSOURCESTARTUP parameter to '1' using the Mint
WorkBench Parameter viewer or Command window, and restart the drive. This
gives control to the manager each time the MotiFlex e180 starts.
• Set the Control Ref. Source to ‘RT Ethernet (CiA402)’ in the Mint WorkBench
Operating Mode Wizard or Commissioning Wizard.
• Click the Direct button on the Mint WorkBench Motion tool bar, and select ‘RT
Ethernet (CiA402)’ in the Axis 0 drop-down.
• Confirm that the reference source on all controlled nodes has been set to
EtherCAT in the Mint WorkBench Operating Mode Wizard, and that the master
has been configured correctly.
• Use the Mint WorkBench Trace mode to view all state transitions that have
occurred since startup (page 34).
