Table 7.3  Monitoring Variables Descriptions 
Description of monitoring variables: 
Item  Description 
Monitoring 
code 
Each monitoring variable has a code, and you can use P0-02 to set the 
code and monitor the variable. 
Format 
Each monitoring variable is stored in the 32-bit format (long integer) of the 
servo drive. 
Category 
Basic variables / expansion variables: 
1.  Basic variables: variables (P0-02 = 0 ~ 26) within the cycle; in 
monitoring mode, you can display the variables by using the UP / 
DOWN keys on the panel. 
2.  Expansion variables: variables other than basic variables. (P0-02 = 
-112, 27 ~ 111) 
Monitoring 
method 
Panel display / mapping: 
1. Panel display: monitor with the panel 
2.  Mapping: monitor variables or parameters by mapping parameters 
Panel 
display 
1.  Use the MODE key to switch to the monitor mode and press the UP / 
DOWN keys to select the variable to monitor. 
2.  Input the variable code to monitor into P0-02 and start monitoring. 
Press the SHIFT key on the panel to switch between high and low digit 
display; 
Press the SET key on the panel to switch between decimal and 
hexadecimal display. 
Mapping 
1.  Parameters that support monitoring variable mapping: for P0-09 ~ 
P0-13, please refer to Section 7.3 Parameter Description. 
2.  You can read monitoring variables through communication using 
mapping parameters. 
3.  The value of the mapping parameter (P0-09 ~ P0-13) is the content of 
the basic variables (17h, 18h, 19h, 1Ah). To monitor P0-09, set P0-17 
to the value to read (please refer to P0-02). You can read the data 
specified by P0-17 through communication or the monitor panel (set 
P0-02 to 23). When the panel displays “VAR-1”, it indicates the content 
value of P0-09. 
The property code of each monitoring variable is described in the following table: 
Property  Description 
B  BASE: basic variables, you can select the variables with the UP / DOWN keys 
D1 D2 
Decimal place displayed on panel. D1 indicates 1 decimal place, D2 indicates 
2 decimal places. 
Dec 
Only decimal display is available on the panel, and you cannot switch to 
hexadecimal display by pressing the SET key. 
Hex 
Only hexadecimal display is available on the panel, and you cannot switch to 
decimal display by pressing the SET key.
