Specifying the Motor Data
Source
The Motor Data Source is where you tell the axis where the motor configuration
values are originating. You can select a motor by catalog number from the Motion
Database. You can enter motor data from a nameplate or datasheet, or use the
motor data that is contained in the drive or motor nonvolatile memory.
On the Motor dialog box you specify what motor you want to use and where the
data is coming from:
• Specify a motor with the Data Source = Nameplate Datasheet.
• Specify a motor with the Data Source = Catalog Number.
• Select a motor with the Data Source = Motor NV.
Choose the Catalog Number
Follow these steps to choose a motor from the Motion Database.
1. If the Axis Properties dialog box is not open, double-click the axis.
2. Go to the Motor dialog box of Axis Properties.
3. From the Data Source pull-down menu, choose Catalog Number.
4. Click Change Catalog.
