Software Reset (Fn030)
This function enables resetting the SERVOPACK internally from software. This function is used when reset-
ting alarms and changing the settings of parameters that normally require restarting the SERVOPACK. This
function can be used to change those parameters without restarting the SERVOPACK.
There are the following two types of software resets for SigmaWin+ connection status.
• Resetting for a conventional connection
• Resetting for a connection through a controller
(1) Preparation
The following condition must be met to perform a software reset.
• The servomotor power must be OFF.
(2) Operating Procedure
Use the following procedure.
Conventional connection
1. In the SigmaWin+ main window, click Setup - Software Reset .
The following message will appear and remind you to check the status of the SERVOPACK and the
motor for safety reasons because the SERVOPACK will stop responding for about 5 seconds after the
software reset has been executed.
Note: If the moment of inertia is calculated as described in 5.3 Advanced Autotuning (Fn201) , the Software Reset
box shown in step 2 will appear.
If you do not want to continue, click Cancel . The SigmaWin+ main window will appear.
• Start software reset operation after the servomotor power is OFF.
• This function resets the SERVOPACK independently of host controller. The SERVO-
PACK carries out the same processing as when the power supply is turned ON and
outputs the ALM signal. The status of other output signals may be forcibly changed.
• The SERVOPACK will not respond for 5 seconds after the reset begins.
Always check the status of the SERVOPACK and motor before you execute a reset.
