Parameter
Drive
The drive transfers the output voltage to the motor's power section. There is a wide range of supported drive variants: For example, servo drives, high speed drives, low speed drives, stepper motor drives. The drive parameters include the motor polarity and the reference velocity.
Analog drive
Within this context "analog" does not mean that the velocity is represented by a voltage (e.g. ±10 V) or a current (e.g. ±20 mA), but rather that the axis can be adjusted over an effectively continuous range of values. This kind of adjustment is also possible for drives with digital interfaces such as the BISSI terminals of type KL5051. When using such a digital interface, a velocity can be set in the same way as when controlling an analog value, even though it is transported as digital information.
