AXIS#.MOTOR.POLES

Description

AXIS#.MOTOR.POLES sets the number of motor poles for a rotary motor. It is used for commutation control and represents the number of individual magnetic poles of the motor (not pole pairs). A motor's magnetic poles range from 0 to 510, which corresponds to 0 to 255 magnetic pole pairs. The division value of motor poles (AXIS#.MOTOR.POLES) and feedback poles (FB1.POLES) must be an integer when setting drive to enable, otherwise a fault is issued.


  • This parameter is automatically configured for Kollmorgen motors when MOTOR.AUTOSET=1.

  • This parameter is required to be configured for all motor types.

FieldbusClosedA Fieldbus is an industrial network system for real-time distributed control (e.g. CAN or Profibus). It is a way of connecting instruments in a plant design Parameter Index Sub-Index Data Type Float Scale Units Access PDOClosedPDO is a type of protocol frame used in some fieldbuses. A PDO contains one or more object dictionary entries, which define the application data transferred between devices. Mappable

The development goal of EtherCAT was to apply Ethernet to automation applications which require short data update times (also called cycle times) with low communication jitter (for synchronization purposes) and low hardware costs COE and CANopen AXIS1.MOTOR.POLES 0x500B 0x17 UINT - - RW False
