EtherCAT:EC SET MOTION OPMODE
This subroutine sets the axis and the drive into a desired motion operational mode.
In EtherCAT it is not enough to set the axis' opmode property. The drive must be dealt with as well.
According to the new opmode value object 0x6060 is written to the drive via PDO or SDO.
Opmode set success is confirmed via object 0x6061.
 | IMPORTANT |
| If the axis is set to Torque Mode, the property sumTorque is set to ON by default ! |
Input
Generic axis
New opmode - POSITIONMODE, VELOCITYMODE or TORQUEMODE
