ļ¬ Required Settings to Perform a Servo Drive Test Run from the Sysmac Studio
Make the following settings to operate an EtherCAT-connected Servo Drive or other device using
the MC test run function of the Sysmac Studio.
*1 Set this parameter when using the NX701 CPU Unit.
*2 Set this parameter when using the NX102 CPU Unit and NX1P2 CPU Unit.
*3 To use the axis as a motion control axis, select All. To use the axis as a single-axis position control axis, select
Single-axis position control only.
*4 For example, if the encoder resolution is 10,000 pulses/rotation, set 10,000.
*5 A CPU Unit with unit version 1.11 or later and Sysmac Studio version 1.15 or higher are required to use this
parameter.
Precautions for Correct UsePrecautions for Correct Use
⢠Select the appropriate values based on the machineās operating conditions for parameters
such as the maximum velocity, maximum acceleration/deceleration, or stop settings when the
motor is actually operated.
⢠OMRON 1S-series Servo Drives and G5-series Servo Drives can be set to specific node
addresses by using the rotary switches on the front panels. If the rotary switches are set to 00,
the node address will be determined by the settings made in the EtherCAT Editor of the Sys-
mac Studio. If the rotary switches are set to 00 for all connected Servo Drives, errors will not
occur even if the Servo Driveās connection position is changed. Set the node addresses on the
rotary switches to assign specific Servo Drives for each machine control.
