Load Transmission-Actuator Attrib
These are the motor configuration attributes that apply specifically to rotary transmission and linear actuator mechanisms associated with the axis.
Load Type
Usage | Access | Data Type | Default | Min | Max | Semantics of Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Optional - Scaling Optional - Planning | Set | USINT | 0 DB | - | - | Enumeration 0 = Direct Rotary 1 = Direct Linear 2 = Rotary Transmission 3 = Linear Actuator 4-255 = Reserved |
The Load Type attribute is used to determine how the load is mechanically linked to the motor. Direct enumerations indicate that the motor is directly coupled to the load. Rotary enumerations indicate that the load is rotating and load dynamics are measured using a rotary system of units. Linear enumeration indicate that the load is moving linearly and load dynamics are measured using a linear system of units.
Transmission Ratio Input
Usage | Access | Data Type | Default | Min | Max | Semantics of Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Optional - Scaling Optional - Planning | Set | DINT | 1 DB | 1 | 2 31 -1 | Input Shaft Revs |
The Transmission Ratio Input attribute is an integer number of input shaft revolutions per transmission cycle associated with the rotary transmission.
Transmission Ratio Output
Usage | Access | Data Type | Default | Min | Max | Semantics of Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Optional - Scaling Optional - Planning | Set | DINT | 1 DB | 1 | 2 31 -1 | Output Shaft Revs |
The Transmission Ratio Output attribute is an integer number of output shaft revolutions per transmission associated with the rotary transmission.
Actuator Type
Usage | Access | Data Type | Default | Min | Max | Semantics of Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Optional - Scaling Optional - Planning | Set | USINT | 0 DB | - | - | Enumeration 0 = None (R) 1 = Screw (O) 2 = Belt and Pulley (O) 3 = Chain and Sprocket (O) 4 = Rack & Pinion (O) 5-255 = Reserved |
The Actuator Type attribute indicates the type of mechanism used for linear actuation.
Actuator Lead
Usage | Access | Data Type | Default | Min | Max | Semantics of Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Optional - Scaling Optional - Planner NP Only | Set | REAL | 1 DB | 0+ |  | Actuator Lead Units |
The Actuator Lead attribute is a floating point value that represents the lead or pitch of a screw actuator that is a measure of the linear movement of the screw mechanism per revolution of the screw shaft.
Actuator Lead Unit
Usage | Access | Data Type | Default | Min | Max | Semantics of Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Optional - Scaling Optional - Planner NP Only | Set | USINT | 0 | - | - | Enumeration 0 = mm/Rev 1 = Inch/Rev 2-255 = Reserved |
The Actuator Lead Unit attribute indicates the units of the Actuator Lead attribute.
Actuator Diameter
Usage | Access | Data Type | Default | Min | Max | Semantics of Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Optional - Scaling Optional - Planner | Set | REAL | 1 | 0+ | | Actuator Diameter Units |
The Actuator Diameter attribute is a floating point value that represents the diameter of the pulley, sprocket, or pinion used to convert rotary motion into tangential linear displacement of the load. The Actuator Diameter is internally converted to circumference of the pulley, sprocket, or pinion to determine the amount of tangential displacement per revolution.
Actuator Diameter Unit
Usage | Access | Data Type | Default | Min | Max | Semantics of Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Optional - Scaling Optional - Planner | Set | USINT | 0 | - | - | Enumeration 0 = mm 1 = Inch 2-255 = Reserved |
The Actuator Diameter Unit attribute is a value that indicates the units of the Actuator Diameter attribute.
