Motion Object Attributes 373
Drive Configuration The Drive Configuration attributes provide basic drive configuration
information. These parameters are used to determine the specific drive, axis
type, servo configuration, as well as determine drive polarity and fault handling
behavior.
Drive Axis ID The Drive Axis ID attribute contains the ASA Product Code of the drive
amplifier associated with the axis. If the Product Code does not match that of
the actual drive amplifier, an error is generated during the configuration
process.
Axis Type The Axis Type attribute is used to establish the intended use of the axis. If the
axis is intended for full servo operation than a value of “2” is required. If only
the position information from the feedback interface is of interest, than a Axis
Type should be set to “1”. Finally, if the axis is unused in the application, which
is a common occurrence when there are an odd number of axes in the system,
then the Axis Type associated with the unused axis should be set to “0”. Axis
Type is not only used to qualify many operations associated with the axis servo
loop, it also controls the behavior of the SERCOS module’s Axis Status LEDs.
An Axis Type of “1” (Position Only) results in the DRIVE LED being
blanked, while a value of “0” (Unused) blanks both the FDBK and DRIVE
LEDs.
External software (RSLogix 5000) also uses the current configured value for
Drive Axis Configuration to control the look of many of the tab dialogs
associated with the axis configuration tool.
Axis Type attribute can be set ONLY if Axis is not assigned to a group.
