The Composer software reads the personality data from the SimplIQ drive and can
thereby adapt to the specific drive model.
2.3 Units of Measurement
This section describes the units of measurements used by the SimplIQ drive for time,
position, speed, voltage and current.
2.3.1 Position
The SimplIQ drive refers to position using sensor counts, which may be related to
physical units using the following commands:
Command Description
CA[18]
For rotary motors, CA[18] is the number of sensor counts per one full
mechanical revolution.
CA[23] For linear motors, CA[23] stores the number of counts per user unit
(meter or any other unit selected by the user). This value is stored for
convenience only; the
SimplIQ software does not use this number for any
internal calculation. For rotary motors, set CA[23]=0.
YA[1], YA[3] YA[1] is the auxiliary feedback resolution, in counts/physical unit. YA[3]
indicates what that physical unit is: revolution, meter or other. YA[1] and
YA[3] are stored for convenience only; the
SimplIQ software does not use
these numbers for any internal calculation.
