Allocations
Click the Link Assignment tab in the MECHATROLINK Communications Definition Dialog Box,
make the following slave device settings for the desired station number (ST#), and save the set-
tings to flash memory.
Note: 1. Assignment Mistakes
If you make a mistake in the assignments (for example, set SGD7S-20 when an SGD7W-
20 is connected), a Detected Servo Driver Type Error alarm (monitor parameter IL04 bit
1D) will occur. Synchronous communications will not start and the Motion Controller Operation Ready bit
(monitor parameter IW00 bit 0) will be 0 (Operation not ready).
2. Using a Linear Servomotor
If you make the above assignments and save the settings to flash memory when a Linear Servomotor is
connected to an SGD7S-20 or SGD7W-20 and you are using a version of MPE720
that does not support Linear Servomotors, a Connected Encoder Type Error alarm (monitor parameter
IL04 bit 1F) will occur. To use a Linear Servomotor, set the assignment to WildCard Device (Linear).
