9.3.4.2 Drive
Configuration File
The drive configuration file contains the actual parameter values. The file has a one-line header
that identifies the following:
node number
drive number
drive identification
firmware version number
The drive configuration file must match the map file, the firmware version of the drive being
addressed, and the location of that drive on the SynqNet network.
Here is an example of the header line:
# sqNode[3] drive[0] "Kollmorgen S200" "2.0a"
This header shows that the file contains data for the S200-SynqNet drive that is located on
Node 3
. The header also specifies that the drive has firmware version
2.0a
. If the drive does
not have this version, an error message will be displayed.
The rest of the file consists of parameter command strings followed by their values. For an
example, see the Sample Drive Map File.
The easiest way to create a template for the drive configuration file is to read a file of data from
a drive. It is important that the map file exists and is valid.
