So my problem was solved) Just in one moment i plug in mount and it connected well.

And next question, what kind connection are you using? Because now have calibration problem. Looks like mount not see command to move.
Currently iam using connection like on first image. But in Ekos instruction talking about st4 connection prefer.

I have a ZWO AM5 with the TC40 carbon fiber tripod. It handles my ED127 quite well at 952 mm without a counterweight, guiding between .2 and .5 arcseconds. I also use my AM5 with a C-11 (1990s Ultima) on a Celestron AVX tripod and it performs very well with an 11 pound counterweight, guiding between .4 and .6 arcseconds. Coming from a G-11, there’s a lot less drama and no tinkering required to get this mount to perform. The C-11 is definitely at the limits of it capabilities and I wouldn’t considering putting it on the TC-40 carbon fiber tripod with that much weight.
