Modifying the station address
The drive address can be set to a value between 0 and 63. With address 0, the drive is assigned
as an amplifier in the SERCOS ring. There are various ways to set the station address:
Keys on the front of the servo amplifier
The SERCOS address can also be modified using the keys on the front (p. 91).
Setup software
The address can also be modified in the setup software. For additional information, please refer to
the setup software online help. Alternatively, enter the command
ADDR #
in the “Terminal” screen,
where # is the new address of the drive.

Modifying the baud rate and optical power
If the baud rate is not set correctly, communication is not possible. The
SBAUD #
parameter can be
used to set the baud rate, where # is the baud rate.
If the optical power is not set correctly, errors occur in telegram transmission and the red LED on
the drive lights up. During normal communication, the green send and receive LEDs flash, giving
the impression that the relevant LED is on. The
SLEN #
parameter can be used to specify the
optical range for a standard 1 mm² glass fibre cable, where # is the length of the cable in metres.
