Upload
► To upload configuration data, set the “Get Configuration
Request” bit (bit index 1, “Drive Talk Drive-Control Flags”).
Download
► To download configuration data, set the “Send Configuration
Request” bit (bit index 2, “Drive Talk Drive-Control Flags”).
Error Log Flags
You can set the Aries drive to log errors you are concerned with.
Using the “Drive Talk Error-Log Flags”, set the bits for those errors you
want to monitor. Then use the “Send ERRORL Request” bit to send
the request to the Aries drive. The Aries drive logs the error data as
text.
Because the Aries error log is maintained as a text file, there is no
parameter or bit data the ACR controller can get. You can read the
error log by directly accessing the Aries drive. For more information,
see the section titled Using the “DTALK” Mode (below), and the Aries
User Guide, p/n 88-021610-01.
► To indicate what errors a drive is to log, set the bits in “Drive Talk
Error-Log Flags.”
► To send the error data request, set the “Send ERRORL Request”
bit (bit index 3, “Drive Talk Drive-Control Flags”).
Drive Status Flags
You can get status data of an Aries drive. On power up the
controller does not contain drive status data. In the “Drive Talk Drive-
Control Flags” (bit index 8-25) you can select what status data the
controller gets. Then set the “Get Drive Data Request” bit (bit index
4) to retrieve the status data. The controller stores the drive status
data in the “Drive Talk Parameters”.
The “Drive Talk Drive-Control Flags” also contain “Drive Talk Drive
Status 1” and “Drive Talk Drive Status 2” bits (bit indexes 28 and 29).
Unlike bit indexes 8-25, the data retrieved for bit indexes 28 and 29
are stored in the “Drive Talk Drive Status 1 Flag” and “Drive Talk Drive
Status 2 Flag” bits.
► To indicate what status data you want, set the “Drive Talk Drive-
Control Flags” (bit index 8-29).
► To get drive status data, set the “Get Drive Data Request” bit
(bit index 4, “Drive Talk Drive-Control Flags”).
NOTE: The rate at which the controller updates data is governed
by the number of participating axes and the baud at which
Drive Talk communication is set.
