Motor Parameters
Index Angle
The Paramount’s DC servomotors require a unique motor index angle
that is used during motor initialization. The motor index angles are
preset at the factory, and should not be altered unless instructed to do
so by Software Bique.
For the Paramount ME, the motor’s index angle is affixed to a
sticker on the motor, and can also be viewed on the Control
System Parameters report (page 132).
