Yes, it is possible when using MotionWorks. The only difference between using a rotary motor and a linear motor with the MP-940 is to select Linear Type vs Rotary Type in the SVA section of Module Configuration. By doing this, the additional parameters for Linear Motors are displayed in the "ServoPack" tab.
There are three, however, that will require immediate attention to allow motion to occur. Please reference the users manuals for information regarding all other parameters.
SGDH Parameter Settings:
1) Pn280: Linear Scale Pitch (micrometers), the ServoPack will remain in an alarm state
until this is set.
2) Pn483: Forward Force Limit (% of rated), factory default is 30% (for safety), set appropriately for application.
2) Pn484: Reverse Force Limit (% of rated), factory default is 30% (for safety), set appropriately for application.
Minimum firmware & software versions required:
MP940: B01 or higher
SGDH: xx214 or higher
MotionWorks: 4.20 or higher
