Automatic Detection of Connected Motor
You can use a SERVOPACK to operate either a Rotary Servomotor or a Linear Servomotor.
If you connect the Servomotor encoder to the CN2 connector on the SERVOPACK, the SER-
VOPACK will automatically determine which type of Servomotor is connected. Therefore, you
normally do not need to specify the motor type.
If an encoder is not connected, e.g., for a test without a motor, you can specify a Rotary Ser-
vomotor or a Linear Servomotor in Pn000 = n.X
(Rotary/Linear Startup Selection When
Encoder Is Not Connected). If you specify either a Rotary or Linear Servomotor, only the
parameters, monitors, alarms, and functions for the specified motor type will be enabled.
