752-8303/8000-002 using CNC function

The customer wants to build a simplified CNC with four servo axes using the Edge Controller 752-8303/8000-002 with EtherCAT master (I suggest using EtherCAT for speed).

Has anyone used the CNC or SoftMotion libraries in Codesys 3.5 with Wago Edge Controller or pLCs?

A program example would be great.

Thank you in advance.

Since Softmachine requires license (except Softmotion Light maybe) and Softcontainer is not supported on WAGO’s runtime, you need to use a runtime from CODESYS.

Either run Linux SL or Virtual Control SL one the device.
