Determining the Motor ID Number
For proper setup, the control needs information that is provided by the model number of each
motor. The motor model number is located on a tag affixed to the motor and should look like
this:
A06B-xxxx-Byzz
these four digits determine the motor ID
To find the correct value for the parameter labeled
MOTOR ID NO
., simply match the motor
identifier which you read off the motor tag to the motor type in the right column. Enter this
number on the servo setting screen as your
MOTOR ID NO
parameter. Do this for each axis.
Let’s say for example that your motor is labeled
A06B-0121-B072.
Looking up
0121
in the
table, we can determine the motor type to be 7.
Once again, the alarm messages screen pops up with an alarm:
000 PLEASE TURN OFF POWER
To get back to the parameter screen, press [SYSTEM] followed by (PARAM).
