Kollmorgen drive with SERVO_PERIOD issue

Kollmorgen drive with SERVO_PERIOD issue

EtherCAT network goes in operational state only with SERVO_PERIOD=250 µsec setting when Kollmorgen drives are in use. The network stays in safe-operational state with any other servo period setting.

The following needs to be done;

* MC_CONFIG to be modified for each axis.

      SERVO_PERIOD = 1000
      NODE_SYNC_OFFSET(0,0)=560000

* The EC_EXTEND file -> ESC configurations page -> Size to be 128
