	When using MotionWorks+, is there a way to tell which version of a project is currently in the RAM memory of the MP940 and the last date it was revised? Posted Date: 07/13/2004 Answer: If revision data is needed, it can be managed by generating three CONSTANTS in the MW+ project file: Year, MonthDay, and RevisionNumber. This technique is a common practice among MW+ programmers to consistently maintain revisions. Constant Definitions: "Year": Assign to the initial value of this constant, the year the project was downloaded. "MonthDay": Assign to the initial value of this constant the month and the day the project was downloaded. If the project was downloaded on March 17th , the constant would be 3.17 "Project": Project Number.Revision level - If project number 176 with a revision level of 4 is in the memory, the constant value would be assigned as 176.004 Assign the appropriate data to the initial value to these three constants. By using the data monitoring feature in MW+, the revision number can be seen. Using this method, it is important to remember to change the revision data manually every time a significant change to the project is made. There is no automatic update. To retain each revision, be sure to save any changes as a new project.

	When using an MP920's SVA Servo interface and an absolute encoder on a Sigma II Servopack (SGDH), how is the absolute data requested and confirmed complete in the application program? Posted Date: 09/21/2004 Answer: Instructions for reading (via application program) the absolute encoder: For the case of axis 1: In order to initiate the read OBC000A (Absolute position read request) must transition from OFF (0) to ON (1.) The confirmation flag that the read is complete is IBC000A (Absolute read complete signal) will transition from OFF (0) to ON (1.) If there is a problem with the absolute read, then IBC0004 (Cumulative number of rotations error) will transition from OFF (0) to ON (1.) The OBC000A (Absolute position read request) should not be ON (1) in the "setting parameters." This bit will initiate the absolute encoder read, and is dedicated for the application program. If the Servopack loses control power but the MP920 does not, then the OBC000A (Absolute position read request) bit will have to be toggled OFF then ON again for a re-read of the encoder's absolute position. The application program can test if the Servopack's Control is ON by monitoring the state of the "Broken PG Wire" bit; IBC00232. Please reference section 5.7 in the "Sigma II Series Servo Manual" (YEA-SIA-S800-32.2) for details on how the absolute encoder data transfer works. For more details on SVA servo interface please reference section 5.4 in "Machine Controller MP920 User's Manual Motion Module" (SIEZ-C887-2.5.)

	When using an absolute encoder, is it possible to set the absolute zero position through the Fieldbus Network? Posted Date: 01/09/2002 Answer: An absolute encoder reset must be done to clear the A.81 alarm. For safety reasons, this can only be performed through the SGDH front panel with a Function 8 or through the monitor software. This operation is typically only performed at machine startup when the mechanical system is coupled to the motion control system. Once the absolute zero is set, a new zero point can be established over the Fieldbus Network for the convenience of the user. Define the new zero point by using the Define Zero Point Command in the Set/Read section of Command/Response format - Section 5.3 of the NS300 User Manual.
