PC Software 

Display the version and revision level of the current setup software.
 

Regen Resistor 

Preselection of the regen resistor. If you use an external regen resistor, set "1,external" here. Change this only while the amplifier is disabled.
 

max. Regen Power 

The limit for the continuous power of the regen resistor. Change this only while the amplifier is disabled.
 

Max. Mains Voltage 

This parameter is used to adjust the regen and switch-off levels of the servo amplifiers to suit the mains power supply voltage or the system conditions for multi-axis systems with parallel-connected DC-link circuits. 

Single amplifier 

Usually the setting taken is the mains supply voltage that is actually available.
If the motor has a higher voltage rating than the DC-link voltage that occurs as a result of the available mains supply voltage, then you can raise the regen and switch-off levels by selecting the max. mains voltage that is permissible for the motor. 

Multi-axis systems with parallel-connected DC-link circuits 

In a system, the DC-link circuits of the servo amplifiers are usually connected in parallel (DC-bus). If motors with differing voltage ratings (which must be as high or higher than the actual DC-link voltage) are used, then each amplifier on the DC-bus must be set up for the motor with the lowest rated voltage. If the settings are not all the same, then the desired distribution of the regen power will not be achieved.
 

Mains phase missing 

Handles the message "Phase missing". Change this only while the amplifier is disabled + reset.
 

Hardware 

Displays the version and revision level of the servo amplifier hardware.
 

Firmware 

Displays the version and revision level of the servo amplifier firmware.
 

Serial number 

Displays the serial number of the servo amplifier.
 

Run time 

Displays the operational time of the servo amplifier, saved at 8 min. intervals. If the 24V supply is switched off, a maximum of 8 min. operational time will be unregistered.
 

Address 

The entry is the station address (1...63) of the amplifier. This number is required by the fieldbus (CANopen, PROFIBUS DP, SERCOS etc.) and for the parameter setting of the servo amplifier in multi-axis systems for an unambiguous identification of the servo amplifier within the system (see Product manual).
The address is displayed in the setup software in the title bar of every screen page, as long as you are working online. In offline operation the display is not the actual station address, but a number above 1000. In this way you can instantly recognize the offline mode.
You can also use the keys on the front panel of the servo amplifier to set the station address (see Product manual).
 

Fieldbus-Address 

The entry is the fieldbus address (1 to 63) of the amplifier. If set, the number is used in in fieldbus communication. If this parameter is not set, the station address is used.
The address is indicated in the setup software on each screen page in the title bar, if you work on-line. In the off-line operation not the actual station address is indicated, but a number above 1000. Then you can recognize the off-line mode immediately. With the keys on the servo amplifier front plate you can likewise set the field bus address (see Product manual).
 

Baudrate CANopen 

The entry is the transmission rate of the amplifier (10, 20, 50, 100, 125, 250, 333, 500, 666, 800, 1000 kbps). The transmission rate is required by the fieldbus (CANopen) and for the parameter setting of the servo amplifier in multi-axis systems (see Product manual).
You can also use the keys on the front panel of the servo amplifier to set the baud rate (see Product manual).
 

Name 

Here you can assign a name (8 chars max.) to the servo amplifier (e.g. X-AXIS). This makes it easier for you to associate the servo amplifier with a function within the system.
The name is displayed in the setup software in the title bar of every screen page. In offline mode the name is an indication of the origin of the currently active data set.
 

Auto Enable 

Definition of the status of the software-enable on switching on the instrument, or after using Reset to clear errors.
 

Ext. WD 

Definition of the monitoring (watchdog) time for fieldbus/slot communication. This monitoring is only active when the value is greater than 0 and the output stage is enabled. If the pre-set time runs out without the timer being re-triggered, then the warning n04 (response time monitoring) is generated and the drive is stopped. The amplifier remains operative and the output stage is still enabled. This error warning must be cleared by using Reset before a new setpoint can be accepted. 

Acceleration 

Definition of the dimensional unit for acceleration. This unit is used for the ramps of the trajectory generator (internal motion blocks, OPMODE 8) as well as for the braking/acceleration ramps of the speed controller. 

With the setting ms->VLIM it is still possible to enter the acceleration for the motion block in mm/s². If the setting is changed, all the acceleration and braking parameters that are affected will be internally converted to the currently valid dimensional unit. 

The automatic parameter adjustment does not apply to the internal motion blocks. For this reason, the valid dimensional unit for acceleration should be fixed before the first motion block is created. If an alteration is made at a later stage, the acceleration/deceleration values for all motion blocks will have to be checked, and corrected if necessary.
 

Velocity 

Definition of the global dimensional unit for speed and velocity. This unit applies to all speed/velocity dependent parameters of the speed/position controllers.
 

Position 

Definition of the global unit for all position-dependent parameters of the position controller. 

With the Counts setting, no path/distance unit will be displayed. In this case, application-specific units can be implemented, which are exclusively dependent on the resolution that is used.
