Parameter Dictionary Introduction
1.1: Scope and Purpose of this Document
This document provides a listing and definitions of the parameters used to program and operate Copley Controls drives. These parameters can
be accessed using any of several communication interfaces, each with its own protocol and set of IDs for the parameters.
There are many CANopen and EtherCAT objects for which there are no direct correlations to Copley drive 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/ECAT IDX:SUB column contains the CANopen and EtherCAT object index and sub-index of a parameter. The index is in hex format
and the sub-index is in decimal format. Note that the CANopen and EtherCAT object libraries are identical.
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 drive RAM (R), drive 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.
