DRV.TYPE

Description

DRV.TYPE allows you to select the operational fieldbus for your drive. This parameter is read-write on the CC drive models and read-only on all other drive models. To change the operational fieldbus of your drive:

  1. Set DRV.TYPE to one of the following values. Only values 0 to 3 are selectable. All other values are read only.

    0 = Analog (no EtherCAT or CANopen) with no position indexer functionality.
    1 = Analog (no EtherCAT or CANopen) with position indexer functionality.
    2 = EtherCAT
    3 = CANopen
    4 = SynqNet
    5 = EtherNet/IP
    6 = BASIC Language (not fieldbus)
    7 = PROFINET
    8 = Sercos® III
  1. Save the parameters to the NV memory on the drive by issuing the DRV.NVSAVE command
  2. Power cycle the 24 V supply to the drive. When the drive has finished powering up, it will be working with the new selection.

Changing DRV.TYPE does not immediately change the type of the drive fieldbus selection. You must power cycle the drive to start the drive with the selected functionality.

You cannot use EtherCAT and CANopen at the same time. Use FBUS.TYPE or DRV.INFO to identify the fieldbus currently in use.

DRV.TYPE does not change if you use DRV.RSTVAR.
