Description

Rotational Offset

0

Rotational Offset indicates the amount of rotational
offset that the drive uses when synchronized. The
rotational offset is applied in the retarded direction
(lagging the synchronized spindle master). The value
in the field is determined by the following formula:

Offset

= 0 … 255

256

For example, a numerator of 128 indicates an offset of
1/2 revolution (180°).
The valid parameter values are 0 to 255.
The specified value may be rounded. Rotational offset
is not used when the drive is configured as the
synchronized-spindle master.

Medium Rotation Rate

10021

The disk rotation speed in RPM.
