end of the parameter name is optional, so this parameter is often referred to simply as SPRelay.#. This parameter can be used
in a user program to activate the output (i.e. SPRelay.7 = On), or can be assigned to a Source on the Assignment view.
Drive Run Time – Hrs.Min
SPRunTimeHoursMinutes
The drive Run Time is the Total Time that the drive has been powered up with the Bridge Enabled since last reset by the
factory. The format for this parameter is Years.Days and Hours.Minutes. These values must be used in combination to find the
actual total run time. This parameter can be found on the Errors view while Online with PowerTools Pro.
Total Run Time = SPRunTimeYearsDays + SPRunTimeHoursMinutes
Drive Run Time – Yrs.Days
SPRunTimeYearsDays
The drive Run Time is the Total Time that the drive has been powered up and the Bridge Enabled since last reset by the
factory. The format for this parameter is Years.Days and Hours.Minutes. These values must be used in combination to find the
actual time. This parameter can be found on the Errors view while Online with PowerTools Pro.
Total Run Time = SPRunTimeYearsDays + SPRunTimeHoursMinutes
Unidrive SP Stack Temperature 1
StackTemperature1
This read-only parameter is read from the Unidrive SP parameter database (parameter 7.04). StackTemperature1 can be used
a user program to monitor the temperature of the drive.
Start Up
StartUp
This source can be used to trigger an event to occur on startup (when EZMotion powers up or is rebooted). This source is
typically used to initiate a program or to initiate a home so that a machine will automatically home on power up or reboot.
StartUp will activate when EZMotion has powered up and no faults are active. Startup may take as long as five seconds to
activate. Depending on what the Startup source is assigned to, the drive may need to be enabled to perform the function. If the
drive is not enabled, the startup source cannot initiate programs or motion. The source will remain active until EZMotion is
powered down.
Stop
Stop
Activate this destination to stop all motion and programs. If Stop is activated when a Jog, Index, Home or Program is in
progress, they will decelerate to zero speed at the Stop Decel ramp. When Stop is active, all Jog, Home, Index and Program
initiate destinations will be ignored. When it is deactivated, all level sensitive and active input functions (Jog.0.PlusActivate,
Jog.0.MinusActivate, etc.) will become operational. For example, if the Jog.PlusActivate input function is active when the Stop
input function is deactivated, the Jog.Plus motion will initiate using the acceleration found in the Jog.0.Accel parameter. This is
level sensitive.
Stop Deceleration
StopDecel
Deceleration rate used when the Stop destination is activated.
Unidrive SP Switching Frequency
SwitchingFrequency
This parameter defines the switching frequency for the Unidrive SP (under normal conditions). Higher values for switching
frequency will eliminate audible high-frequency noise, but can require derating of system performance in some cases. This
parameter is found on the Setup view and can be changed within a user program. Valid selections for this parameter are 3kHz,
4kHz, 6kHz, 8kHz, 12kHz, and 14kHz.
EZMotion Total Power Up Time
TotalPowerUpTime
Total Power Up Time is the total elapsed time that EZMotion has been powered up (since reset by the factory). The units for
the parameter are Hours with a resolution of 0.1 Hours. This parameter is stored in EZMotion, and is not reset if the module is
switched to another drive.
Travel Limit Deceleration
TravelLimitDecel
This parameter defines the ramp used to decelerate the motor to a stop when any travel limit is activated.
