DATUM(6) with MC664 and EtherCAT drives
You must set up the PDO to include the Touch Probe objects. If it is a drive with profiles built-in to the trio firmware, then the usual selection is DRIVE_PROFILE = 2 in position mode. If using an EC_EXTEND file then you must add the touch probe to the EC_EXTEND.
When touch probe has been set up, the DATUM(1), (2), (5) and (6) will work as well as the REGIST commands that capture the Z position.

MC_CONFIG vs Flash parameters
All Motion Coordinators store the IP_ADDRESS, IP_NETMASK and IP_GATEWAY in Flash memory. So there is usually no need to add them to the MC_CONFIG. There are some differences with other system parameters. MC4N-ECAT, MC4N-RTX, MC6N-ECAT, Flex-6 Nano ...
