6.4 Monitor Function of CMI
6-9
Monitoring item
Revision Indicates the revision number of Servo Amplifier A6B/A5B.
Station address Indicates the station address of Servo Amplifier A6B/A5B allocated to each axis.
Connection status
Indicates the connection status of each axis.
Not connected / During stop / During operation / Warning occurs / Error occurs
Servo ready
Indicates the servo ready status on the servo amplifier side.
Ready (Green): Indicates that the servo is ready.
Off (White): Indicates the servo is off.
Home position proximity
Indicates the status of the near home input (HOME).
Near home (Green): Indicates the input is valid.
Off (White): Indicates the input is invalid.
Limit +
Indicates the status of the limit input. Monitored signals vary according to the settings
of "Axis parameter settings" of FP7 MC Unit.
Limit + (Green) or limit - (Green): Indicates the input is enabled.
Off (White): Indicates the input is disabled.
Limit -
FROM write count
Indicates the number of times of writing to FROM in FP7 MC Unit. Writing can be
performed up to 10000 times.
Firmware version Indicates the firmware version of FP7 MC Unit.
Hardware version Indicates the hardware version of FP7 MC Unit.
• The input logics of the near home, limit + and limit - depend on the settings
of Servo Amplifier A6B/A5B and FP7 MC Unit.
• The target limit inputs to be monitored vary according to the settings of axis
parameters as below. Confirm them with CMI.
