Synchronous method

{
    using (IEALConnection ealConnection = new EALConnection())
    {
        ealConnection.Connect("192.168.0.254");     // Connects

        axis.Movement.Power(false);                // Powers-off 
        axis.SetCondition(AxisCondition.AXIS_CONDITION_ACTIVE_PARAMETERIZATION);   // Switch to parameterisation mode
        ealConnection.Initialize();                         // Initializes the drive
        axis.SetCondition(AxisCondition.AXIS_CONDITION_ACTIVE);                    // Switch to operating mode ///    
        axis.Movement.Power(true);                 // Powers-on.
        axis.Movement.MoveVelocity(500, 100, 100, 0); // Runs drive at 500 rpm                
    }
}
Asynchronous method

    using (IEALConnection ealConnection = new EALConnection()) // Asynchronous method
    {
        ealConnection.Connect("192.168.0.254");     // Connect task will be added to queue    
        IAxis axis = ealConnection.Motion.Axes[0]; // Gets axis
        axis.Movement.Power(false);                // Powers-off task will be added to the queue
        axis.SetCondition(AxisCondition.AXIS_CONDITION_ACTIVE_PARAMETERIZATION);   // Switch to parameterisation mode task will be added to queue

        axis.Movement.MoveVelocity(500, 100, 100, 0); // Runs drive at 500 rpm task will be added to queue
        ealConnection.WaitUntilQueueComplete();             // Waits untill all the task in the queue completes
    }
