EtherCAT Servo Drive Commissioning Support for International Automation Partners
Project Background
With the increasing demand for high-performance motion control solutions, automation integrators require not only reliable servo products but also responsive technical support during system integration.
A Brazil-based automation customer contacted XARP for technical assistance regarding the commissioning of the XDQ1 series EtherCAT servo drive.
The customer selected the XDQ1-15EA Servo Drive with the following specifications:
- Rated Power: 1.5 kW
- Power Supply: AC 220V
- Communication: EtherCAT
The application required integration with a CODESYS-based control system, including EtherCAT communication configuration and process data mapping.
Technical Challenge
During the integration process, the customer needed assistance with:
- EtherCAT device configuration
- CODESYS communication setup
- Status Word and Control Word bit allocation
- Device profile installation
- Servo drive communication parameters
For automation projects, successful commissioning depends not only on hardware compatibility but also on accurate communication configuration between the PLC / Motion Controller → EtherCAT Network → Servo Drive → Motor System.
XARP Technical Support Solution
After receiving the customer's request, XARP's technical team provided comprehensive support across three areas:
1. Servo Communication Documentation
XARP provided the English servo control manual and technical documents to help the customer understand drive parameters, communication objects, EtherCAT configuration, and control functions.
2. EtherCAT Configuration Guidance
The technical team assisted the customer with device description file installation, EtherCAT network configuration, process data object (PDO) understanding, and Control Word / Status Word mapping.
3. Remote Engineering Assistance
Through direct communication with the customer, XARP engineers analyzed the integration requirements and guided the commissioning process — helping the customer continue their automation development without delays.
