7.1 MECHATROLINK-III Communications Settings
This section describes the switch settings necessary for MECHATROLINK-III communications.
7.1.1 Setting the MECHATROLINK-III Station Address
Set the MECHATROLINK-III station address in Pn880.
7.1.2 Setting the MECHATROLINK-III Axis Addresses
The MECHATROLINK-III axis addresses are set in Pn010 to Pn01B.
In the factory settings, axis 1 is assigned to CN11 and the rest of the axis addresses are assigned in order.
For a type A01 SERVOPACK, axis addresses are assigned in the order of the power boards. CN11 on the first
power board connected to the control board is axis 1 and CN11 on the second power board is axis 5.
• Type A01 SERVOPACK
Note 1. If you have changed the settings of Pn010 to Pn01B, reset the parameters for the axes that you changed.
2. Set the axis address of any axis that you will not use to a value that is higher than the maximum number of
SERVOPACKs that can be connected (e.g., 8 or higher). If you enter a value that is higher than the maximum
number of SERVOPACKs that can be connected, the SERVOPACK detects that the axis is not used.
3. Set Pn010 to Pn01B in order starting from 0. Do not set the same value more than once. If the same axis address
is set more than once, alarm A.E42 will occur and the factory settings will be restored.
