EP Connectivity Reference Manual (P/N 400518-04).
3.3.2 Configuration Group
The configuration group consists of list boxes for Drive Type and Motor Type.
Drive Type List Box
Select the drive model for the system you are currently setting up.
Motor Type List Box
Select the motor model for the application from the list of motors.
Motor types are arranged as follows:
• FM motors
Motor voltage is determined by the first letter (E=230, U=460), brake motors have a 1 as the last digit (095E2A401).
• NT motors
Standard 230 V motors, brake motors have BR after the model #.
• XV motors
Standard 230 V motors, brake motors have BR after the model #.
• MG motors
Standard 230 V motors, brake motors have BR after the model #.
• Unimotor Classic motors
Model numbers end with a UL in the part number, for example: 115EZB200-UL.
Motor voltage is determined by the first letter (E=230, U=460).
For brake motors, use the standard motor model.
NOTE
Selecting the wrong motor type can cause poor performance and may even damage the motor and/or drive.
3.3.3 Drive Encoder Output Group
The drive encoder output group consists of the encoder scaling check box and encoder scaling.
Encoder Scaling Check Box
Select this check box to enable the Encoder Scaling parameter of the Drive Encoder Output.
Encoder Scaling
This parameter defines the encoder resolution (lines per revolution) of the drive's encoder output. This feature allows you to change the drive
encoder output resolution in increments of 1 line per revolution up to the density of the encoder in the motor. If the Encoder Output Scaling
parameter is set to a value higher than the motor encoder density, the drive encoder output density will equal that of the motor encoder.
3.3.4 Positive Direction Group
The Positive Direction group consists of a CW (clockwise) Motor Rotation radio button or a CCW (counter-clockwise) Motor Rotation radio
button.
The motion will move in either CW direction or CCW direction. Perspective of rotation is defined as you face the motor shaft from the front of
the motor.
CW Motor Rotation Radio Button
Select this radio button for applications in which CW motor rotation is considered to be motion in the positive direction (increasing absolute
position).
CCW Motor Rotation Radio Button
Select this radio button for applications in which CCW motor rotation is considered to be motion in the positive direction (increasing absolute
position).
3.3.5 Update Rate Group
Trajectory
This parameter configures the interrupt interval for the drive processor. This defines how often the motion program is interrupted and the
Control Loop is processed. In the Control Loop, the feedback information is processed and a new position command is generated. Also, in the
Control Loop, the I/O is scanned. After Control Loop is complete, all messages are handled. Messages are Modbus data, DeviceNet data,
