Turbo PMAC2 Realtime Express Controller
Software Setup
Before Deactivating the Backlash Feature:
1. Make sure motor present backlash is zero. If not, set it to zero by changing the motor
backlash size (Ixx86) to zero.
2. Wait until motor present backlash becomes zero.
3. Set motor backlash take-up rate (Ixx85) and motor backlash hysteresis (Ixx87) equal
to zero.
4. Check the direction of the backlash by looking at bit 4 of the motor status word. If it is
equal to 1, write a zero to it.
Reading/Writing A4N/A5N Drive Parameters over the network
Although each drive can be accessed and setup through the RS-232 connector of the drive, Delta
Tau’s Turbo PMAC2 Realtime Express Controller allows the user to read / write / save all the
parameters to any drive on the ring.
In order to read/change/save any of these parameters, you have to follow the following steps. As
an example, we will disable the emergency stop input of motor #1.
1. Set CMD_TYPE (M8179) variable to 0.
2. Set PARAM_MTR_NUM (M8180) to desired motor number. Please note that this is the
motor number and not necessarily the MacID of the drive.
3. Set PARAM_REQ (M8181) equal to a value representing read / write / save.
Use this to read out the parameter value from the servo
drive.
Use this to write the parameter value to the servo drive.
Save the parameter value to EEPROM in the servo drive.
Make sure to set the PARAM_NUM (M8182) and
PARAM_DATA (M8183) equal to zero.
