9.3.4.1 Drive Parameter Map File
The drive parameter map file is a text file that contains a list of valid drive parameters for a
particular drive model. The file contains five sections: File Header, Drive Identification,
Parameter Identification, Configuration, and File Footer. Each Drive Identification section is
matched with a Parameter Identification and Configuration section. Depending on the firmware
version, there may be more than one parameter section.
The format is described below. A sample map file, for the S200-SynqNet drive is shown in the
Sample Drive Map File.
File Header
The file header contains one line:
#MPI Drive Parameters
Drive Identification Section
This section contains one line, which describes the name of the manufacturer, the model
number, and the drive firmware versions that are compatible with the drive parameter list.
#”Manufacturer and Model” “drive firmware version” (file-specific)
For the S200-SynqNet, the “Manufacturer and Model” text will always be “Kollmorgen S200."
Examples
# "Kollmorgen S200" "2.0a"
Parameter Identification Section
This section contains definitions of the parameters that are valid for the firmware version(s)
listed in the Drive Identification section. The section begins with the following header line:
#parameters
Each line in this section contains the following parameter identification information.

All service commands and drive parameters are accessed over the service channel as 32-bit
quantities, but the 32 bits of data can represent different types of data. To support various data
types with generic software tools, the supported data types have been predefined. Here are the
data type names that are supported for the drive parameter map file.
