Module Feedback Port Attributes
Module Axis attributes are used to configure the feedback ports of the device module. Each device module may be equipped with multiple feedback ports that can be freely mapped to the various feedback channels of a CIP Motion axis instance.
Feedback Port Select
Usage | Access | T | Data Type | Default | Min | Max | Semantics of Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Optional - E | Set | USINT[8][4] | [] = 0 | - | - | Enumeration: 0 = Unused 1 = Port 1 2 = Port 2 3 = Port 3 4 = Port 4 5 = Port 5 6 = Port 6 7 = Port 7 8 = Port 8 9 = Port 9 10 = Port 10 11 = Port 11 12 = Port 12 13-255 = Reserved |
This attribute is organized as 8x4 array with 8 corresponding to the maximum number of axes supported by a given drive device module and 4 representing the number of logical feedback channels per axis. The 8x4 indexed array elements of this array correspond to axis instances 1 thru 8 and feedback channels 1 thru 4, respectively. The individual elements of this array are enumerated values associated with the 'Feedback n Port Select' attribute in the Motion Device Axis Object. The controller's module interface function uses the Feedback Port Select information to set the Feedback n Port Select attributes for each axis instance of the CIP Motion device.
Feedback Card Type
Usage | Access | T | Data Type | Default | Min | Max | Semantics of Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Optional - E AOP | Set | USINT[8][4] | [] = 0 | - | - | Feedback Card ID# |
This attribute is organized as 8x4 array with 8 corresponding to the maximum number of axes supported by a given drive device module and 4 representing the number of logical feedback channels per axis. The individual elements of this array are numeric identifiers associated with the specific feedback interface hardware assigned to this feedback port. The list of supported Feedback Types is determined by the feedback interface hardware selection. Configuration software uses this information to filter the Feedback Type list associated with the port. This multidimensional array follows the same indexing rules as the Feedback Port Select.
