FBUS.SAMPLEPERIOD

Description

This parameter sets the fieldbus cycle time. It is normally written in the startup phase of the field busses via the object 60C2 subindex 1 (interpolation time units) and 2 (interpolation time index), where the index stands for a power of 10 seconds (for instance, -3 stands for milliseconds) and the units are the counts of these units. Kollmorgen recommends the following standard cycle rates, 250 us (4), 500 us (8), 1 ms (16), 2 ms (32), 4 ms (64).
