Limitation of the output value

The value output to the drive can be limited to maximum and minimum values. When the value programmed in the #DRIVE command is outside the configured limits the output value is automatically limited, an error message is not output.

The scaling of the limit values is according the scaling type set up in parameter P-AXIS-00401 (antr.function[].scaling_type).

When setting up the limits out the output value it has to be ensured that these are within the value range defined by the data type set up in parameter P-AXIS-00399 (antr.function[].data_type), otherwise an error message is output (P-ERR-70383, P-ERR-70384) and the limits are corrected automatically.

If no limits are set up no limitation is applied to the output values.

The configured maximum value has to be bigger than the minimum value, otherwise Warning P-ERR-70385 is output and the limits are swapped.

Parameter definition

The parameterization defines how the functionality requested by the #DRIVE command in the NC program is triggered in the drive. The following parameters must be assigned for this purpose:

P-AXIS-00396

ID of the drive function. This is the value of the call parameter KEY of the #DRIVE command, which must be used to activate the drive function.

P-AXIS-00397

Nature of communication between the CNC kernel and the drive controller

P-AXIS-00398

Name of the parameter in the drive or of the element in the cyclic setpoint telegram

P-AXIS-00399

Data type of the data item to be transferred to the drive

P-AXIS-00400

Value of the drive data item after controller start-up if the data item is transferred in the cyclic setpoint telegram

P-AXIS-00401

Scaling. Now only unscaled output and torque scaling is supported.
