Hot plugging EQ6R mount through Pegasus PPBA error

Hello,
please move this topic to another category if its more appropiate.
I have contacted Pegasus support and they referred me to here as the problem lies on the driver according to them.

The problem is the following:

I usually power the EQ6R as a standalone but connect it to the RPi4 via USB. All works great.

I bought a cable to power the EQ6R mount through the Pegasus PPBA and when I start EKOS, connect all drivers and switch on the mount , the Pegasus driver goes offline with multiple communication errors:


I can hear how the ZWO camera fan stops and starts again when doing so.

If I Stop and Restart EKOS, it works again.

To be honest, it is not a big deal as I think that if the mount is parked, there shouldnt be an issue with PPEC (please correct me if im wrong) but I dont think this behaviour is normal.

Many thanks
