P375 setting up axis type

Set DRIVE_MODE and DRIVE_PROFILE as below.

For example to set up encoder inputs with pulse and direction inputs, set as follows.

DRIVE_MODE = 5
DRIVE_PROFILE = 1

  The encoder axis in the MC4N will automatically set itself up. With no EtherCAT axes it will be axis 0 and the ATYPE will show as either 44 (servo) or 76 (incremental encoder). You can connect an encoder and it will count the pulses straight away. ...
