MACHINE PARAMETERS.
(REF: 1402)
Machine parameters for the axes and spindles.
DRIVETYPE
Type of drive.
Parameter valid for linear and rotary axes and spindles.
Parameter valid for analog drives, Sercos, Mlink (Mechatrolink) and simulated drives.
Possible values: Analog / Sercos / Mlink / Simulated.
Default value: Simulated.
Associated variable: (V.)[ch].MPA.DRIVETYPE.xn
This parameter sets the type of drive, analog, Sercos, Mlink (Mechatrolink) or simulated. The
CNC does not allow having Sercos and Mechatrolink drives in the same system; but it does
allow combining these drives with analog drives. The simulated axis option must be used
when there is no physical axis or during setup. With the Simulated option, the CNC simulates
all the movements, it assumes the theoretical coordinate as real and does not output velocity
commands.
The simulated axes are not activated with the validation code. It is possible to use as many
simulated axes as you wish as long as the sum of the simulated axes and the physical axes
does not exceed the maximum number of axes possible (as set by parameter NAXIS).
Type of drive when the CNC has been installed as simulator at a PC.
When the CNC is installed as a simulator at a PC, the drive may be a simulated type, Sercos
or Mechatrolink; it cannot be analog. In either case, the CNC simulates all the movements
and assumes the theoretical coordinate as the real one.
POSUNITS
Feedback system units.
Parameter valid for linear and rotary axes and spindles.
Parameter valid for Sercos, Mlink (Mechatrolink) and simulated drives.
Possible values: Measurement / Pulses.
Default value: Measurement.
Associated variable: (V.)[ch].MPA.POSUNITS.xn
This parameter sets the units system used by the feedback system.
Refer to the drive manual for further detail.
CONFIGURING A SERCOS DRIVE.
SERCOSDATA
Sercos drive data.
Parameter valid for linear and rotary axes and spindles.
Parameter valid for a Sercos drive.
This parameter shows the table to define the communication with the Sercos drive.
POSUNITS Meaning.
Measurement. The communication with the drive is in millimeters or degrees.
Pulses. The communication with the drive is in pulses.
SERCOSDATA
DRIVEID Sercos drive address.
OPMODEP Main operating mode of the Sercos drive.
FBACKSRC Type of feedback.
FBACKDIFF Maximum difference between feedbacks.
ULTRAIPO Parameter not being used at this time.
FBACKTIME Time constant for combined feedback.
