Product Overview
OverviewThe Flex+Drive product is designed to serve the needs of machine designers and
manufacturers. Baldor products have both UL and CE approvals. The Flex+Drive
is a “flexible” versatile compact control for brushless servo motors. This digital
servo control can be tailored to suit many applications. It can accept 0--10VDC
input, standard "10VDC input, current loop input, electronic handwheel input or 15
preset point to point moves.
Some flexible options are CAN bus interface (for resolver feedback only), internal
or external regen, or with customer provided 24VDC to maintain logic power.
The Flex+Drive can be integrated with Baldors’ motion controllers or to any
industry standard motion controller.
MotorsBaldor servo controls are compatible with many motors from Baldor and other
manufacturers. Motor parameters are provided with the PC software making the
setup easy. Baldor compatible motors include:
Refer to the Speed/Torque curves in the BR1202 catalog or contact your local
Baldor distributor or sales representative for assistance with motor sizing and
compatibility. Custom motors or motors not manufactured by Baldor may be
used. Please contact your local Baldor distributor or sales representative for
assistance.
Command Source
In the analog mode (current or velocity), the control requires a variable 0-10VDC
or "10VDC external analog signal. Suitable sources can be a PLC or motion
controller.
Positioning Mode
In the positioning mode, up to 15 preset repeatable positions (moves) may be
defined in software. These moves may either be incremental, absolute or mixed.
A specific “preset” position is selected using the switch inputs (machine inputs
1--4) and a “trigger” input activates the move. A home position could also be set if
desired.
Serial Communications Interface
A serial port allows external communication. This means that the Flex+Drive can
interface to a PC (for configuration and control) or to other user--supplied
equipment such as:
SHost computers
SPLC’s
SPC’s
SMotion controllers
The serial communication interface supports:
SRS232 and the four wire RS--485 communication standards
SBaud rate: 9600

Receiving and Installation
Receiving & InspectionBaldor Controls are thoroughly tested at the factory and carefully
packaged for shipment. When you receive your control, there are several things
you should do immediately.
1.Observe the condition of the shipping container and report any damage
immediately to the commercial carrier that delivered your control.
2.Remove the control from the shipping container and remove all packing
materials. The container and packing materials may be retained for
future shipment.
3.Verify that the part number of the control you received is the same as the
part number listed on your purchase order.
4.Inspect the control for external physical damage that may have been
sustained during shipment and report any damage immediately to the
commercial carrier that delivered your control.
5.If the control is to be stored for several weeks before use, be sure that it
is stored in a location that conforms to published storage humidity and
temperature specifications stated in this manual.
Location Considerations The location of the control is important. Installation should be in an area
that is protected from direct sunlight, corrosives, harmful gases or liquids, dust,
metallic particles, and vibration. Exposure to these can reduce the operating life
and degrade performance of the control.
Several other factors should be carefully evaluated when selecting a location for
installation:
1.For effective cooling and maintenance, the control should be mounted
on a smooth, non-flammable vertical surface.
2.At least 0.6 inches (15mm) top and bottom clearance must be provided
for air flow. At least 0.4 inches (10mm) clearance is required between
controls (each side).
3.Altitude derating. Up to 3300 feet (1000 meters) no derating required.
Derate the continuous and peak output current by 1.1% for each 330
feet (100 meters) above 3300 feet.
4.Temperature derating.From0#Cto40#C ambient no derating
required. Above 40#C, derate the continuous and peak output current by
2.5% per #C above 40#C. Maximum ambient is 50#C.
5.The control must be installed where the pollution degree according to
IEC664 shall not exceed 2.
Mechanical Installation
Mount the control to the mounting surface. The control must be securely fastened
to the mounting surface by the control mounting holes. The location of the
mounting holes is shown in Section 7 of this manual.
Receiving & Installation 3-1MN1276
Electrical InstallationAll interconnection wires between the control, AC power source, motor, host
control and any operator interface stations should be in metal conduits. Use listed
closed loop connectors that are of appropriate size for wire gauge being used.
Connectors are to be installed using crimp tool specified by the manufacturer of
the connector. Only class 1 wiring should be used.
System Grounding Baldor controls are designed to be powered from standard single and three
phase lines that are electrically symmetrical with respect to ground. System
grounding is an important step in the overall installation to prevent problems. The
recommended grounding method is shown in Figure 3-1 and 3-3 for UL compliant
systems (Figure 3-2 and 3-4 for CE compliant systems).

Ungrounded Distribution System
With an ungrounded power distribution system it is possible to have a continuous
current path to ground through the MOV devices. To avoid equipment damage, an
isolation transformer with a grounded secondary is recommended. This provides
three phase AC power that is symmetrical with respect to ground.
Input Power Conditioning
Baldor controls are designed for direct connection to standard single and three
phase lines that are electrically symmetrical with respect to ground. Certain power
line conditions must be avoided. An AC line reactor or an isolation transformer
may be required for some power conditions.
$If the feeder or branch circuit that provides power to the control has
permanently connected power factor correction capacitors, an input AC
line reactor or an isolation transformer must be connected between the
power factor correction capacitors and the control.
$If the feeder or branch circuit that provides power to the control has
power factor correction capacitors that are switched on line and off line,
the capacitors must not be switched while the control is connected to the
AC power line. If the capacitors are switched on line while the control is
still connected to the AC power line, additional protection is required.
TVSS (Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor) of the proper rating must be
installed between the AC line reactor or an isolation transformer and the
AC input to the control.
Power Disconnect A power disconnect should be installed between the input power service
and the control for a fail--safe method to disconnect power. The control will remain
in a powered-up condition until all input power is removed from the control and the
internal bus voltage is depleted.
Protection Devices The control must have a suitable input power protection device installed.
Input and output wire size is based on the use of copper conductor wire r ated at
75 #C. Table 3-1 and 3-2 describes the wire size to be used for power connections
and the ratings of the protection devices. Use the recommended circuit breaker or
fuse types as follows:
Circuit Breaker:1 phase, thermal magnetic.
Equal to GE type THQ or TEB for 115 or 230 VAC
3 phase, thermal magnetic.
Equal to GE type THQ or TEB for 230 VAC or
GE type TED for 460 VAC.
Time Delay Fuses: Buss FRN on 230 VAC or
Buss FRS on 460 VAC or equivalent.
Recommended fuse sizes are based on the following:
UL 508C suggests a fuse size of four times the continuous output
current of the control.
Dual element, time delay fuses should be used to avoid nuisance trips
due to inrush current when power is first applied.
For European installations, you may want to consider the following fast acting
fuse: Gould Shawmut Cat. No. ATMR15 for up to 15 amperes.

Table 3-1 Wire Size and Protection Devices (for units with Power Supply)
Note: All wire sizes are based on 75#C copper wire. Higher temperature smaller gauge wire may
be used per NEC and local codes. Recommended fuses/breakers are based on 25 # C
ambient, maximum continuous control output current and no harmonic current.

Logic input connections are made at terminal strip X3. Input connections can be
wired as active High or active Low as shown in Figure 3-16. X3 pin 7 is the
Control Reference point (CREF) for the Opto Isolated Input signals.
Note: An internal 24VDC power supply connection is not available from the control
to power the Opto Input circuits. A customer provided external power
source must be used as indicated in Figure 3-16.
Home FlagEdge triggered input that is used to sense the “Home Position”.
TriggerRising edge triggered input that initiates a “point-to-point move”. The move is
defined by the machine inputs MaI1-4.
MaI1,2,3,& 4Four machine inputs are provided. These may be used with the internal PLC
software program. The internal PLC software can cause an event to occur based
on the presence of these inputs.
However, more often these inputs are used to define up to 15 preset positions or
point to point moves. The 16th move is always home. With this method, it is not
possible to use hardware limits (CW and CCW). Therefore, software limits must
be used. Software limits are only active after a homing routine has completed.
Note: Hardware limit switches may be wired in series with the “Enable” input
X3--9. Then if a limit is reached, the control will be disabled.

RS485 Multi-Drop Connections
What does termination or a termination resistor do?
Termination resistance is used to match the impedance of the load to the
impedance of the transmission line (cable) being used. Unmatched impedance
causes the transmitted signal to not be fully absorbed by the load. This causes a
portion of the signal to be reflected back into the transmission line (noise). If the
Source impedance, Transmission Line impedance, and Load impedance are all
equal, these reflections (noise) are eliminated.
Termination does increase load current and sometimes changes the bias
requirements and increases the complexity of the system.
What is a termination resistor?
A resistor is added in parallel with the receiver input to match the impedance of the
cable being used. Typically, the resistor value that is used is 100 ohm or 120 ohm.
Resistors with 90 ohms or less should never be used.
Where are these resistors placed?
Terminators or Termination resistors are placed in parallel with the receiver at both
ends of a transmission line. This means that you should never have more than
two terminators in the system (unless repeaters are being used).
How many resistors should my system have?
Terminators or Termination resistors are placed in parallel with the receiver at both
ends of a transmission line. This means that you should never have more than
two terminators in the system (unless repeaters are being used).

HomeStarts a search for the machines absolute zero position. When home is found, the
control will hold the position at absolute zero. There are three Homing types:
Index channel, Capture and Actual Position.
Index Channel causes the motor shaft to rotate to a predefined
home position. The motor may rotate CW or CCW as specified
by the user. Home is located when a machine mounted switch is
activated, then the motor direction is reversed and continues until
the “0” position of the resolver is detected (or the “C” channel of
an encoder). The actual position of “Zero” relative to this point
can be set by the user by changing the offset value.
If home flag is active, clear absolute revolution counter at position
C. Set C (+ HOME.OFFSET) = Zero Position.
Brake with HOME.ACC to zero velocity. Move to Zero.
Capture is a more accurate way to define home position.
The home flag captures the closure of the machine mounted
switch. This captured position (+ HOME.OFFSET) = Zero
Position.
Brake with HOME.ACC to zero velocity. Move back to Zero.
Actual position sets the Zero position to the current position.
No movement required.
Procedure to define home position.
1.Be sure the machine mounted switch (Home position) is connected to X3 pin 14.
2.Select “Homing” from the Motion menu.
3.Choose the desired homing type.
4.Choose the desired capture edge (rising or falling).
5.Choose the desired home direction, CW or CCW.
6.Choose the desired home velocity, acceleration and offset parameters.
7.Click Download.
8.Click the Start button to begin the homing definition (Quit button to stop).
9.To start homing by hardware, buffer line 0 must be selected by MAI1--4.
10. To begin the home move, the external trigger must be present at input X3 pin 15.

Limit SwitchesAfter Homing is set, the limit switches can be activated and set as desired. If the
inputs at X3--10 and X3--11 are used for machine inputs, software limits can be
used to sense when a position limit has been reached.
1. From the Main menu select “Setup ) Limit Switches”.
2. Set “Hardware Limit Switches” as limits switches or as machine inputs.
3. Set the Software Limit Switches, “Active” to Yes or No. Yes activates a software
switch when the position exceeds a predefined limit. No deactivates the software
limit switch feature.
4. If software limit switches are set to Active = Yes, enter a position for the CW limit
and a position for the CW limit.
If you want to take the current absolute position as CW limit or CCW limit, click on
“Learn CW” or “Learn CCW”. The ”Learn” function only works after a successful
homing sequence.
5. Click ”Download” to send the parameters to the control.
Note: The value for the CW limit must be greater than the CCW limit value.

immediate or instant use within the meaning of “Safety law of appliance”, “EMC
Law” or “Machine directive”.
The final mode of operation is defined only after installation into the user’s
equipment. It is the responsibility of the user to verify compliance.

EMC -- Conformity and CE -- Marking
The information contained herein is for your guidance only and does not
guarantee that the installation will meet the requirements of the council directive
89/336/EEC.
The purpose of the EEC directives is to state a minimum technical requirement
common to all the member states within the European Union. In turn, these
minimum technical requirements are intended to enhance the levels of safety both
directly and indirectly.
Council directive 89/336/EEC relating to Electro Magnetic Compliance (EMC)
indicates that it is the responsibility of the system integrator to ensure that the
entire system complies with all relative directives at the time of installing into
service.
Motors and controls are used as components of a system, per the EMC directive.
Hence all components, installation of the components, interconnection between
components, and shielding and grounding of the system as a whole determines
EMC compliance.
The CE mark does not inform the purchaser which directive the product complies
with. It rests upon the manufacturer or his authorized representative to ensure the
item in question complies fully with all the relative directives in force at the time of
installing into service, in the same way as the system integrator previously
mentioned. Remember, it is the instructions of installation and use, coupled with
the product, that comply with the directive.

CE Guidelines 8-1MN1276
Using CE approved components will not guarantee a CE compliant system!
1.The components used in the drive, installation methods used, materials
selected for interconnection of components are important.
2.The installation methods, interconnection materials, shielding, filtering
and grounding of the system as a whole will determine CE compliance.
3.The responsibility of CE mark compliance rests entirely with the party
who offers the end system for sale (such as an OEM or system
integrator).
Baldor products which meet the EMC directive requirements are indicated with a
“CE” mark. A duly signed CE declaration of conformity is available from Baldor.
EMC Wiring Technique
1CABINET
The drawing shows an electroplated zinc coated enclosure,
Capacitor
Y
which is connected to ground.
This enclosure has the following advantages:
-- All parts mounted on the back plane are connected to ground.
-- All shield (screen) connections are connected to ground.
Within the cabinet there should be a spatial separation between
power wiring (motor and AC power cables) and control wiring.
2SCREEN CONNECTIONS
All connections between components must use shielded cables.
The cable shields must be connected to the enclosure. Use
conductive clamps to ensure good ground connection. With this
technique, a good ground shield can be achieved.
3EMC -- FILTER
The EMI or main filter should be mounted next to the power
supply (here BPS). For the connection to and from the main
filter screened cables should be used. The cable screens should
be connected to screen clamps on both sides. (Exception:
Analog Command Signal).
4Grounding (Earth)
For safety reasons (VDE0160), all BALDOR components must
be connected to ground with a separate wire. The diameter of
the wire must be at minimum AWG#6 (10mm@). Ground
connections (dashed lines) must be made from the central
ground to the regen resistor enclosure and from the central
ground to the Shared Power Supply.
5Y--CAPACITOR
The connection of the regeneration resistor can cause RFI (radio
frequency interference) to be very high. To minimize RFI, a
Y--capacitor is used. The capacitor should only be connected
between the dynamic brake resistor housing and terminal pin R1
(lead from Flex).
Recommendation: 0,1,F / 250VAC Type: PME265
BALDOR--Ordering--No.: ASR27104
8-2 CE GuidelinesMN1276
EMC Installation Instructions
To ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), the following installation
instructions should be completed. These steps help to reduce interference.
Consider the following:
$Grounding of all system elements to a central ground point
$Shielding of all cables and signal wires
$Filtering of power lines
A proper enclosure should have the following characteristics:
A)All metal conducting parts of the enclosure must be electrically
connected to the back plane. These connections should be made with a
grounding strap from each element to a central grounding point . ¡
B)Keep the power wiring (motor and power cable) and control wiring
separated. If these wires must cross, be sure they cross at 90 degrees to
minimize noise due to induction.
C)The shield connections of the signal and power cables should be
D)The cable to the regeneration resistor must be shielded. The shield must
be connected to ground at both ends.
E)The location of the AC mains filter has to be situated close to the drive
so the AC power wires are as short as possible.
F)Wires inside the enclosure should be placed as close as possible to
conducting metal, cabinet walls and plates. It is advised to terminate
unused wires to chassis ground. ¡
G)To reduce ground current, use at least a 10mm
ground connections.
¡Grounding in general describes all metal parts which can be connected to a protective
conductor, e.g. housing of cabinet, motor housing, etc. to a central ground point. This
central ground point is then connected to the main plant (or building) ground.
EMC AC Mains Filter AC filters remove high frequency noise to protect the control. These filters
also prevent high frequency signals from being transmitted back onto the power
lines and help meet CE requirements. To select the proper filter, you must know
the voltage and current used by the drive and the impedance of the AC line.

Getting Started with CAN_OPEN
The CAN message transmission consists of an address (=Identifier = ID) followed
by 0 to 8 Data bytes. CAN drives use the following addresses (according to
CAN_OPEN, DS301):
PDO1 (Receive, Master to Drive): 0x200 + Node_ID
PDO2 (Receive, Master to Drive): 0x300 + Node_ID
PDO1 (Transmit, Drive to Master): 0x180 + Node_ID
PDO2 (Transmit, Drive to Master): 0x280 + Node_ID
MN1276
NMT: 0x000
SYNC: 0x80
EMERGENCY: 0x80 + Node_ID
SDO (Master to Drive): 0x600 + Node_ID
SDO (Drive to Master): 0x580 + Node_ID
PDO = Process data transfer, fast communication ex: velocity command.
SDO = Service data transfer, slow communication to access all parameters inside the drive.
NMT = Network management task, to switch the PDOs free and to reset the drive.
SYNC = Specific CAN_OPEN message to do some synchronization.
EMERGENCY: The drive will send this message automatically if a fatal drive error occurs
Node_ID: Special setting (= drive number) for each drive. Range : 1 to 127
Accessories & Options 9-7
The default Baud rate is set to 125 kbit/second and the Node_ID is the drive
address+1 (AS1 switches 1 to 4).
Note: Every drive, connected to one CAN Bus system must have a different
Node_ID.
After power up you will receive an EMERGENCY message with two data bytes
(0x00 and 0x00) to inform you that the CAN_DRIVE is now active.
Now you will have access to all commands via SDO. If you want to give a
command or set a parameter, you have to put the following message on the
CAN_BUS:

This appendix presents guidelines for manual tuning the Control. Tuning is
necessary, since a various loads (friction and inertia) will effect the drive response.
Response may be defined as the time required for the drive to reach speed.
Various software “tools” are available to make tuning easier, such as:
Internal libraries (easy definition of parameters),
pole placement (the software calculates a “no--overshoot” response),
plotting routine (the drive response is displayed on a screen).
This information is as a guide only and the exact response is entirely up to the
individual performing the tuning.
TUNING GUIDELINES
The Flex control is easily tuned using a laptop computer and Flex software. The
autotuning procedure provides a stable and responsive drive, by adjusting the
parameter values for velocity loop tuning. The autotuning procedure will work for
most applications. Manual tuning however may be desirable when very tight
response is required. These guidelines provide a basic reference starting point for
any additional adjustments.
General Tuning Rules
Tune the velocity loop first, and then tune the position loop (when using
pulse/direction, or position follower mode). The velocity loop should always be
tuned before the position loop, as velocity loop tuning affects the position loop
response. To reduce mechanical resonance, use a stiffer mechanical coupling or
decrease the low--pass filter value.
Manual Tuning
Manual tuning may be used to adjust the response of the control. Two types of
manual tuning are possible: velocity tuning and position tuning (for a system which
has been set up to operate in either the pulse/direction, or position follower mode).
Initial Settings Required
Before manual tuning can begin, the motor, control, and operating mode must be
set. Make sure that these parameters have been selected and downloaded.

If the inertia is under--estimated, the system will be stable. If the inertia is
over--estimated, the system will vibrate or oscillate due to too much system gain.
If the load inertia is unknown, estimate low. It is recommended to start with “load
inertia = 0.2”, which represents a stable condition.
If you entered the “inertia ratio”, you should enter a value representing the ratio of
reflected load inertia to motor inertia. The range is from 0 to 100.
ResponseMove to the “Response” block and place the cursor in the “bandwidth” window,
and click on it.
The “bandwidth” is a measure of the range over which the system can respond. It
is expressed in frequency or Hertz. This parameter controls the “rise time” of the
system. It does not effect overshoot.
It is recommended that bandwidth is increased only if higher dynamic response is
required. Increase the bandwidth and observe (go to plotting of move) the
“velocity” and “command current”, until current reaches maximum value, then back
off to 80%.The range is from 10--200.
The next step, would be to verify that the value you entered, provides for adequate
system response. You can check this out, by having the software move the
equipment and plot the response. Proceed to “Plotting of Move”.

The tracking factor parameter controls the amount of tracking versus overshoot.
The range is 0 to 200. A “tracking factor” of “0” generates no overshoot. A
“tracking factor” of 200 results in a PI equivalent control (i.e. with overshoot).
The next step, would be to verify that the values you entered, provides for
adequate system response. You can check this out, by having the software move

PI method of adjustment allows adjustment of the acceleration ramp time and
overshoot values. If “PI” Compensation is selected, you would enter values for
GV--gain and GVI--gain. Select PI Compensation instead of Pole Placement on
the menu shown in Figure A-9.
This is an advanced method of adjustment for use by servo engineers. The “pole
placement” method is easier to use for most applications and is recommended.
Figure A -11 PI Compensation Menu
GVI--GainThe “Integral Gain (GVI)” is the “integral gain” of the velocity loop. It controls 1)
the stiffness (the ability to reject load disturbances), and 2) the amount of offset, or
following error, during steady state conditions (velocity command or load does not
change). The adjustable range is from 0 to 32767.
1.Click on the “Integral Gain (GVI)” box and enter a value. You may want
to begin with the default values – click on the “default” button and
answer “yes. To increase stiffness, increase the GVI--gain setting. It
rejects load disturbance and compensates for system friction.
To reduce following error, or offset, during steady state running
conditions, increase the GVI--gain setting. To reduce the overshoot,
reduce the GVI--gain setting.
Note: As you increase the value for GVI, the system will become unstable, i.e.
oscillate. You may hear an audible noise. Decrease the GVI value
immediately. Continue to decrease the value until the noise is no longer
heard, then decrease it another 10%.
2.Next, verify that the value you entered provides adequate system
response. To verify, have the software move the equipment and plot the
response. Proceed to “Plotting of Move”.
MN1276
Manual Tuning A-7
GV--GainThis is the “proportional gain” of the velocity loop. It controls the gain of the
velocity loop by adjusting the controls response to the error. The error is the
difference between the commanded and actual velocity. The higher the gain, the
smaller the difference (or error). The adjustable range is from 0 to 32767.
1.Click in the “Proportional Gain (GV)” box. Enter a value for GV. You
may want to begin with the default values – click on the “default” button
and answer “yes”.
Note: The default values may not be best for all applications, it may be too high. If
the system is noisy (displays an audible noise) decrease this value
immediately.
To obtain a faster rise time, increase the GV--gain setting. The ramp up
time (to operating speed) will be faster. As you increase the value for
GV, the system may have very large overshoots and become unstable.
Decrease the GV value immediately. Then decrease it another 10%.
2.Next, verify that the value you entered provides adequate system
response. You can check this out, by having the software move the
equipment and plot the response. Proceed to “Plotting of Move”.

Position Parameters
Click on the “Position Parameters” button. You will see parameters as shown in
Figure A-13. Selecting “None Feedforward” allows you to enter Position Gain.
Select Velocity feedforward allows you to enter Position Gain and Velocity, a
parameter that is proportional to the desired velocity. Increasing this gain,
compensates for damping (brings actual velocity closer to desired velocity). It is
not within the servo loop, so it does not effect stability. The adjustable range is
from 25 to 100%.
Select Acceleration feedforward allows you to enter Position Gain and Velocityand
Acceleration. Acceleration is a parameter that is proportional to the desired
acceleration. Increasing this gain, compensates for inertia (brings desired
acceleration closer to actual acceleration). It is not within the servo loop, so it
does not effect stability. Inertia resists acceleration. The adjustable range is from
25 to 100%.
Initiate Move
To verify that the parameter values are correct, you must cause the system to
move. This would be accomplished by having the “host controller”, or “indexer”, or
“computer” output a string of pulses.
During movement, observe the “Monitor” (7--segment display) on the front panel.
If a “P” is observed on the Monitor display, the drive is within the “in--position” band
which has been set. If a “P” is not observed, then the drive is outside the band, or
window. This would occur, for example, with a high friction system.
Either the gain or feedforward term must be adjusted, or the “in--position” band
must be opened (until a “P” is observed).
Note: To change the “in--position” band or window, you have to choose Setup
(from the “toolbar” at top of the screen). In the box, choose “O
Mode”. You will see choices of “general”, “current”, “velocity”, and “pulse”.
Select “pulse” tab. This will open the window showing the “following error
limits”. You may enter and modify (open) the in--position bands.
(Only used in “pulse follower” applications).

Command Set
Flex -- ASCII -- Command -- Set
General
Flex controls use the RS232 communication port (optional RS485) as the
Interface. This document describes existing FlexDrive/Flex+Drive ASCII terminal
commands for setup and control of the servo drive.
There are three types of ASCII commands:
1.Parameters. Without parameters, these commands are handled as
queries. To modify the value of a parameter, the value to be set is added
to the command. Some parameters may only be modified under special
drive conditions. Query is not restricted t o special drive conditions.
2.Variables or system constants. System variables are internally updated
in the control, and can not be changed by the user. System constants
are fixed (e.g. by hardware) system properties. Query of variables or
constants is not restricted to special drive conditions.
3.Methods support control of the system. Methods may or may not require
a parameter. Commanding a method to be executed is in some cases
also restricted to special drive conditions. Each command is defined as
a special mnemonic, which is used for query of parameters, variables
and constants as well as for parameter less methods. Modifying a
parameter respectively commanding a parameterized method is done by
simply adding the parameter value to the mnemonic.
Syntax
General structure of the ASCII command
Each ASCII command is structured in principle according to “Mnemonic”
“Delimiter” “Parameter List”. Syntax allows multiple commands in the same string
separated by blank space delimiter. Each command string is terminated by a
carriage return. i.e. generally, a command string looks like:
Up to 80 characters are allowed at the command prompt.
For each correct command the control returns a “>” sign (ASCII 3E hex) as an
acknowledge. If a command is not accepted, the reason for the command revision
is sent instead of the acknowledge.
Mnemonics
The mnemonics are not case sensitive. Most of the ASCII commands are grouped
into functional groups. The Mnemonics of the commands of parameters, variables
and methods of these function groups have a prefix, which indicate the function
and, separated by the dot, the command identifier. The general structure of
Function Group Commands is as follows:
All prefixed commands are drive parameters. The delimiter between mnemonic
and parameter of these commands is either blank space or equal sign (one of both
is mandatory). To query all parameters and variables of a function group, the
function group prefix followed by dot and asterisk can be used:
“Functional Group”.*
e.g.SYS.*
Command Set B-1MN1276
Upon receiving a command, the controller answers by sending the function
parameter and variable list. General purpose commands are not prefixed. These
commands only consist of the command identifier and therefore need the general
structure
With the non--prefixed commands, no delimiter is mandatory, but the blank space
can be inserted optional.
Parameters and Units
The parameters used within the ASCII commands are integers of different sizes:
INTEGER:
UNSIGNED INT: 16 bit value ranged 0.. FFFF hex (0..2
LONG: 32 bit value ranged 80000000.. 7FFFFFFF hex ( --2
UNSIGNED LONG: 32 bit value ranged 0.. FFFFFFFF hex ( 0.. +2
16 bit value ranged 8000.. 7FFF hex ( --215.. +215--1 dec. )
16
dec.)
31
31--1
.. +2
dec.)
32--1
dec.)
STRINGS: Strings of ASCII characters (0 .. FF hex).
A string parameter is preceded and terminated with double quote character (')!
Commands, which accept or require more than one parameter, use parameter lists
which are composed of the sequence of parameters necessary, with the delimiters
blank space or comma between.
The number of the parameter can be given as decimal value or as hexadecimal
value. Hexadecimal values are preceded by one or more 0--character (30 hex),
while decimal values are taken as default without indicator.
The ASCII command set description below, also shows the units of the parameters
respectively indicate parameters with no units. For best resolution within the
accepted range, the units of the parameters are not chosen according to SI, but
most of the units used are SI units multiplied with potentials of 10.
In some cases, units are related to system properties and can therefore not be
same for all applications. The following is an example of how to calculate Counts
and Limits, used with positioning and homing:
The resolution of all (Resolver or Encoder) is between " 213and " 214.

Start--up with Terminal Communication and Command Examples
1.Select the correct COM port NR. and set the following at your PC:
-- Baud Rate: 9600
-- Protocol (Hardware, Xon/Xoff, None): OFF
-- Data Length: 8 Bit
--Stop Bit: 1
-- Parit y : N O NE
2.Set the control address. The address is set by switch AS1-1 to AS1-4.
To locate a control, type “A” then the control address, e.g. A3 (searches
for a control with address 3). If a drive with address “3” is running and
connected to the PC COM, this drive answers with the prompt sign “>” to
indicate that communication to the drive is established. Additional
command may be sent to the A3 control.
Entering an address command with another address number, will
terminate communication with control A3. If more than one drive is
connected to the PC COM port, typing the address of another drive
connected, will change communication path to this one.
3.Communication is now established and the ASCII commands may be
used.
Note: If more than one drive is connected to the PC port, correct communication
can only be established if all drives have different addresses.
4.Error messages (from the control)
If the syntax and the values of the ASCII command string are correct, the
control accepts the command and answers by sending “<” as
acknowledge. If any error within the transferred command was found,
the control rejects the command by sending a correlated error string.
There are following terminal--reported errors :
-- SYNTAX ERROR: invalid character;
-- EXECUTION ERROR: invalid command;
-- RANGE ERROR: invalid parameter value;
-- INVALID EXE CONTEXT: invalid command or operation mode;
-- control DESIGN FAILURE: invalid control design;
-- INPUT BUFFER OVERFLOW: command line exceeded 80 char.;
-- TOO MANY PARAMETERS: too many parameters;
-- REQ. PARAMETER MISSED: not enough parameters;
MN1276
In case of an error, the event protocol will return a NAK ( negative
acknowledge ) to a user. The error check can only provide a syntax and
range check for each command. Error checking will not check a wrong
parameter value that may degrade system performance.
