Wiring should be fine. I have tested it with the bdc-comm-100.exe tool and was able to see and run all motors. So it means the CAN bus is good. I am also able to see the 2CAN and all the Jags on the network (i.e. can access the 2CAN dashboard on 10.4.92.10 and see the status of all the jags). So it means the ethernet connection to the 2CAN is good. What other wiring could be wrong?

Yeah, I decided to redo the program with standard template and thinking I don't care about the encoders yet so I skipped the encoder related initialization. So you are saying they are still required?
