There is an AKD parameter, FBUS.SAMPLETIME that sets the internal packet
sampling rate on the EtherCAT connection. If you are also getting a random
Error 125 (fieldbus sync lost) when the feedback freezes, there's a good
chance you need to tweak the setting. It's unclear that you have the PDO
mapped to read the position with your faster version?

Good luck!
