mode.
More detailed information can be found in the separate NanoCAN manual.
Overview of operating modes and their areas of application
Operation mode
Application
Positioning mode
(PP Mode)
Use this mode if you want to use the motor for
positioning.
The motor moves from A to B with the set parameters
(ramp, speed, etc.).
Speed mode
(Velocity Mode)
Use this mode when you wish to travel with a specific
speed (e.g. a conveyor belt).
Reference run
(Ref Mode/Homing Mode)
Use this mode to reference the motor
(internal/external/on block).
Interpolated Position Mode Use this mode with a superordinate path control.
Torque Mode
Use this mode to specify a defined torque.
Selecting the operating mode in NanoCAN
In the <Drive Mode> tab the operating mode can be selected. When the tab is
activated, the corresponding SDO is immediately written to the controller to activate
the (possibly previously) selected operating mode.
