4 Create a project in Sysmac Studio Right-click on the master and select “Write Slave Node Address” to set the node address of the driver module. Set a slave node address, e.g. 1, and select “Write”. Reboot the driver module to update the node address. After rebooting, stay in offline mode.
4 Create a project in Sysmac Studio For example, select PDO mapping 4 and then “Apply” and “OK”. Axis configuration The driver module is a dual axis module. The steps below describe the configuration of MC_Axis000. Use the same procedure to configure MC_Axis001. Select “Motion Control Setup”...
Go to the “Detailed Settings” tab to make map the process data objects (PDO) to the NX1P2 variables. Set the command pulse and travel distance per motor revolution. The motors of the MINAS A6 Multi series have an encoder resolution of 23 bits (8388608 pulses). Program a simple positioning task This small demo program will show you how to start the positioning of the axis.

4 Create a project in Sysmac Studio Select the yellow triangle in the tool bar to go online, and then select “Synchronize” to synchronize the project. Select “Transfer to Controller ” and “Close” when the transfer is completed. Select “I/O Map” and set a maximum torque of 5000 (unit 0.1%) for axis A. Turn the variable bEnablePower to TRUE to enable servo control.
