* EtherCAT:
This property is meant for use with Multi Axis drives, that is, a motion drive that appears as a single EtherCAT slave but can drive more than one motor.
In this case multiple axes can share the same Drive Address but are distinguished by Node ID.
For example, if MC is connected to 4 motion drives and the second drive is connected to 3 motors, the axes properties can be assigned as follows:
A1.Dadd = 1, A1.NodeID = 1
A2.Dadd = 2, A2.NodeID = 1
A3.Dadd = 2, A3.NodeID = 2
A4.Dadd = 2, A4.NodeID = 3
A5.Dadd = 3, A5.NodeID = 1
A6.Dadd = 4, A6.NodeID = 1
see EC_SETUP for details
