Once all these settings are correct we need to activate the configuration. This requires that we click 3 buttons:
From left to right we click ‘Generate mappings’, then ‘Check configuration’ and finally assuming no errors occurred after the
previous two button presses click ‘Activate configuration’. After clicking ‘Activate configuration’ you will see a window asking you to
confirm you want to activate the configuration as old configurations will be overwritten, click OK. You will then get another window
asking if you want to restart TwinCAT in Run Mode, click OK to do this. The box in the bottom right hand corner of TwinCAT should
turn green and read RTime n% or Running to indicate that TwinCAT is now in run mode.

Now that we are in run mode we can try and move the axis. To do this we can use the online tab, click on Axis 1 listed in the tree
on the left then select the Online tab in the window on the right.
Note – Please ensure you have tuned the drive using Mint Workbench before you try to use TwinCAT to move the motor.
The large number at the top is the position of the axis in user units. If you rotate the shaft of the motor by hand you should see this
number count up/down.
To enable the axis click the Set button on the right hand side in the Enabling section. A window will appear with some tick boxes,
click the All button to enable them all. The drive should now be enabled and we can use the yellow coloured buttons along the
bottom to jog the axis. We set the fast and slow manual velocities previously that control the speed of these jog buttons, a single
+/- (F3/F2) indicates the slow jog either forward or back and the double ++/-- (F4/F1) indicates a fast jog.
