Copley amplifier parameter dictionary - Maccon.de

1.1: Scope and Purpose of this Book
CHAPTER
1: INTRODUCTION
This book provides a listing and definitions of the parameters used to program and operate Copley Controls amplifiers. These parameters can be
accessed using any of several communication interfaces, each with its own protocol and set of IDs for the parameters.
This book lists the parameters in order of their Copley ASCII Interface variable ID. Cross references for each parameter include, where
applicable, the equivalent DeviceNet variable ID, MACRO I-variable ID, and CANopen (and EtherCat) object index and sub-index.
There are many CANopen and EtherCat objects for which there are no direct correlations to Copley amplifier parameters. Refer to the CANopen
Programmer’s Manual for a complete list of supported objects.
1.2: Organization of the Parameter Listings
The parameters are listed in tables consisting of the following columns:
The ASCII column contains the parameter’s Copley ASCII Interface parameter ID. This ID would also be used with Copley Controls Indexer 2
Program. The ID is listed in hex format.
The DvcNet column contains the parameter’s DeviceNet ID. The ID is listed in hex format.
The CAN ID:sub column contains the CANopen (and EtherCat) object index of the of the CANopen object that represents the parameter.
This index is in hex format. If the parameter is represented by a CANopen (or EtherCat) sub-index object, the hex object index value
and decimal sub-index value are delimited by a colon. For instance, the Current Loop Proportional Gain (Cp) parameter
is represented by CANopen (and EtherCat) object index 0x60F6, sub-index 1. This appears in the CAN ID:sub column as 0x60F6:1.
Note that the CANopen object dictionary and the EtherCat object dictionary are identical. Use the CAN ID:sub column
to get a parameter’s EtherCat object ID.
The MACRO column contains the parameter’s MACRO I-variable ID. The MACRO I-variable ID of a parameter is offset from the ASCII Interface
parameter ID by decimal 1024 (hex 0x400).
The Bank column indicates whether the parameter is stored in amplifier RAM (R), amplifier flash memory (F), or both (RF).
An asterisk in this column indicates that the parameter is read-only. Parameters without an asterisk in the Bank column
can be read and written.
The Type column indicates the parameter’s data type. Types include String and
Integer (8, 16, 32, or 64-bit): INT8, INT16, INT32, INT64.
Unsigned (8, 16, 32, or 64-bit): U8, U16, U32, U64.
