MC6N Ethercat Registration Problem
If the MC6N-ECAT registration inputs 0 to 7 do not function, it is possibly due to having an earlier FPGA that does not have the registration capture registers. Please install firmware V2.0300 or later which includes the latest updated FPGA image.

Question: Can I use more than the 8 inputs 0 to 7 on the MC4N/MC6N as registration inputs, using REGIST(21 ... ) ? Suggestion & resolution: The hardware that does the registration is only there on inputs 0 to 7. You can do a "soft" regist that is ...
AN-291 Touch Probe EtherCAT registration
Digital Servo Drives often have a position capture function known either as Touch Probe or Touch Trigger. This function uses either the Z mark on the motor’s encoder, or one of 2 external inputs to act as the latch signal and capture the encoder ...
Registration input to step output delay
REGIST will precisely capture a position within microsconds but the MARK goes TRUE only on the following servo cycle, so as a raw edge detection it is no faster than an IN command. The only advantage is that you get to trigger on an edge with REGIST. ...
