Handling fiber optic cables
FAGOR supplies the fiber optic cables with its terminals protected with a
hood. Remove the terminal protecting hood before connecting any of these
cables.
Either to remove the terminal protecting hood or to connect and disconnect
the cable, the cable must always be held by the terminal, never pull at the
cable because it could get damaged.
See figure:
Transmission speed selection
From version 06.05 on, the drive may have a SERCOS board capable of
transmitting data at 2, 4, 8 or 16 MBd.
In this data transmission, each drive can receive and transmit 8 IDns
(SERCOS identifiers) or 16 Words through the fast channel.
The communication speed between all the drives being governed by the
CNC in the SERCOS ring is selected by hardware using the “boot” button
on top of the SERCOS board connector. See figure
F. H8/27 .
The parameter associated with the communication speed selection of the
SERCOS ring is QP11 and every time a speed is selected, this parame-
ter is associated the corresponding value.
See table T. H8/4 that shows the possible transmission speeds that will be
displayed at the drive and chapter 13 of the “dds-software” manual to
know the meaning of parameter QP11
.

NOTE. This board is only compatible with software version 06.05 and lat-
er. See chapter 13. COMPATIBILITY .
NOTE. Consequently, the serial connection will no longer be necessary to
select the transmission speed.
