Machine-Specic Motion Control
SERVOPACK Parameter Settings
The SERVOPACK parameters that must be set for an absolute encoder system are listed in the
following table.
Note: These are parameters for Σ-7-Series SERVOPACKs. Refer to the manual for your SERVOPACK for details on param-
eters for SERVOPACKs in other series.
Precautions for Parameter Settings
The names of some of the motion parameters and SERVOPACK parameters are different even
though they have the same meaning. Set the values of these motion parameters and SERVO-
PACK parameters so that they are consistent with each other. The following tables list informa-
tion on the settings.
Encoder Selection
Set the parameters as listed in the following table for an axis that performs absolute position
detection.
Number of Pulses Per Motor Rotation
Refer to the following table and set fixed parameter No. 36 (Number of Pulses Per Motor Rota-
tion) according to the number of encoder bits (resolution).
The setting of the Pn212 (Number of Encoder Pulses) SERVOPACK parameter is not used for
control with the MP3000. It is not necessary to change the setting of Pn212.
