	Question	Posted Date
	Can the operator on the V7 Drive be removed and remotely mounted? Posted Date: 10/27/2005 Answer: Yes, with a remote operator kit. The kit contains a plastic housing to hold the V7 operator, a cable and a plastic cover to fill the hole on the drive where the operator had been. NEMA 1 kits are part Number DS084(1 meter cable) or DS086(3 meter cable). NEMA 4 kits are DS081(1 meter cable) or DS083(3 meter cable). Note: Earlier versions of the V7 Drive were named GPD 315/V7, GPD 315 or VS Mini V7.

	Can the NS600 be tested using serial commands sent from a PC? Posted Date: 03/26/2014 Answer: Yes. Serial communication can be tested from a PC using HyperTerminal. A serial connection can be established, and the NS600 can be operated using serial commands. To setup communication: 1. Connect a YS-12 cable from a comm port on the PC to CN6 on the NS600. 2. Open the HyperTerminal program. (C:\Start\Programs\Accessories\Communications\HyperTerminal) 3. Apply power to the NS600 (make sure it is connected to the SGDH) 4. Follow the attached powerpoint to configure communication.

	Can the MP920 change the parameters in an SGDH amplifier? Posted Date: 08/19/2004 Answer: Yes, an MP920 with an SVB Module can read/write SGDH parameters via the register OLxx35. Depending on the motion command code, the OLxx35 register can hold three different types of data: 1. When Motion Command Code (OWxx20) is set to 17 (read servo parameter) or 18 (change servo parameter), OLxx35 contains the servo drive parameter number. Bits 0-11 are the Pn number and bits 12-15 are the number of words. When reading, the value of the servo parameter is stored in Pn Constant Read Data register ILxx28. When writing, the value stored in Pn Constant Change Data register, OWxx36, is written to the amplifier. 2. When Motion Command Code (OWxx20) is set to 19, OLxx35 contains the current servo drive alarm monitor number. The Alarm code is found in the Servo Drive Alarm Code Register, IWxx24. 3. When Motion Command Code (OWxx20) is set to 20, OLxx35 contains the current servo drive alarm history monitor number. When specifying a number between 0-9, the alarm code corresponding to the specified monitor number is stored in the Servo Drive Alarm Code Register, IWxx24. Example for reading Torque Reference Filter Time Constant, Pn401: 1. Set OWxx35 to H1401. The first three nibbles have the parameter number 401 and the last nibble specifies the number of words, in this case 1 (0~65535) 2. Change OWxx20 to 17. This will read the value of Pn401 and store it in the Pn Constant Read Data register, ILxx28. Example for writing Torque Reference Filter Time Constant, Pn401: 1. Set OWxx35 to H1401. The first three nibbles have the parameter number 401 and the last nibble specifies the number of words data, in this case 1 (0~65535) 2. Set the Pn Constant Change Data register, OWxx36, to the new value for the torque reference filter time constant, Pn401. 3. Change OWxx20 to 18. This will copy OWxx36 register value to Pn401.

	Can the MP2300 control a servo's position with a torque mode amplifier over MechatroLink? Posted Date: 07/25/2005 Answer: The MP2300 uses either the MechatrolLink network or an SVA module for servo control. The SVA module is designed to work with amplifiers in Speed mode. Although in some cases a torque amplifer may be used, the control algorithm has been optimized to output an analog speed command and close only the position loop with the feedback it receives. Performance will be greatly diminished if the velocity loop is not closed at the amplifier. With the earlier MP920 or MP930 over MechatrolLink I (NS100) the servo can only be used in position mode. When using the MP2300 over MechatrolLink II (NS115), new command codes are available to place the servo in position, speed, torque or phase control mode. However, only position and phase modes transfer a position value to the drive. When used in torque mode, the programmer can only specify a torque reference value and a speed limit. No position information is sent. No position loop is closed in the controller. This mode is ideal for web tension control. MechatrolLink II can command Torque Reference Mode using either 17 or 32 byte mode transfers. However, the Torque Reference can only be monitored in 32 byte mode. To place a servo in torque mode, set the following registers: OWxx0C Torque Reference [0.01%] OWxx0E Speed Limit [% rated speed] OWxx08 Motion Command =24: Torque reference Mode ILxx42 Torque Reference Monitor (32-byte mode only) (Note that actual feedback position can always be monitored at ILxx16 regardless of mode.)

	Can the motor brake output (/BK) on an EtherCAT SERVOPACK be controlled by the EtherCAT Master? Posted Date: 11/03/2017 Answer: Yes. The EtherCAT Master can control all the physical outputs on the SERVOPACK. However, the SERVOPACK masks output SO1 by default. SO1 is the default output for motor brake (/BK). In order to control the motor brake output on the EtherCAT SERVOPACK (if using the default parameter for brake assignment Pn50F.2 = 1), the Digital Output Bit Mask (60FE:02) needs to be set to allow writing to that output. Example: Set 60FE:02 from old value 0x000C0000, to new value 0x000E0000. After doing that, you will be able to control the brake output with 60FE:01. If the SERVOPACK status output functions in Pn50E, Pn50F, and Pn510 are assigned, the status will be output using the set value of this function as well as OR logic from the EtherCAT Master value of 60FE:01. For output mapping, refer to the Digital Outputs (60FEh) section of the user’s manual (Sigma-5 SIEPC72082904 / Sigma-7 SIEPS80000155). The attached PDF shows the Digital Outputs (60FEh) section.
