Very interesting, Is it possible to use a very simple code to move the motor a set index length, using a registration sensor and also a proximity sensor( To let motor know when it is safe to move ) also can this be done in ladder logic?
It is possible to do indexing with this drive. It is also possible to use this input to do a registration index. As far as letting the motor know when it's safe, I would have to understand the context a little bit better of how you wanted to use it. And yes, you can run ladder logic on the drive or on a MCi200 module.
On my Gear hobber I need to use Drive in Sensorless Mode and use two port encoder on the drive to read the distance on X and Y axes to and display it on the HMI Screen
I went and googled the EK9000. This looks to be a bus coupler that supports Modbus TCP. As you know both the M700 and the EK9000 are Modbus TCP servers (slave device). If you want the M700 to control the bus coupler then the M700 will need to have an MCI210 module. The MCI210 module is a PLC that supports modbus TCP both as a server device and also as a client device (master device). If you had an MCI210 I could show you how to communicate to it. But you also mentioned assist and use encoder to properly measure the distance. The bus coupler would not have that capability. That is because the bus coupler is far too slow to capture encoder data.
However your second statement is you want the drive to be in sensorless mode OK. I can help with that. You also want to use two encoder ports to capture distance X&Y on an axis and display them on the HMI. If you want to capture the X&Y position you will need to use the high speed inputs on the drive or the universal encoder module. Before I can help with this second question how is it you have the drive encoders wired up. Basically I need to know which ports they're wired to.
Thanks! Very helpfull
