AXIS#.OPMODE

Description

AXIS#.OPMODE specifies the operation mode of the drive. You must also use AXIS#.CMDSOURCE to set the source of the command to the drive.

The operation mode values can be set as follows:

Mode

Description

0

Current (torqueClosedTorque is the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis. Just as a force is a push or a pull, a torque can be thought of as a twist) operation mode

1

Velocity operation mode

2

Position operation mode

AXIS#.OPMODE can be changed while the drive is enabled or disabled. If you are using the terminal to change the operation mode, then it is recommended that you disable the drive before changing the operation mode. If you change the operation mode from the terminal while the drive is enabled, the system may experience a step change in demand.

Example

Set the source of the command to a TCP/IP channel and the desired operation mode to velocity:

-->CMDSOURCE 0

-->OPMODE 1

Gantry Mode

If the Axis is in Gantry Mode (CMDSOURCE = 4), then this opmode setting will have no effect until the CMDSOURCE is set to something other than 4 – Gantry.
