Data Types
Name Description
unsigned8 An 8-bit unsigned binary number.
unisigned16 A 16-bit unsigned binary number.
unsigned32 A 32-bit unsigned binary number.
signed8 An 8-bit binary, twos-complement number.
signed16 An 16-bit binary, twos-complement number.
signed32 An 32-bit binary, twos-complement number.
hex32 An 32-bit unsigned hexadecimal number (same as unsigned32
but displayed as hexadecimal).
enumerated A list of numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 where each number has a specific
meaning (same as unsigned32 but displayed as a selectable
list).
mask A set of bits 1, 2, 4, 8 where each bit has a specific meaning
(same as unsigned32 but displayed as a set of selectable
flags).
character An ASCII character.
Single A 32-bit floating point number according to IEEE754.
action A write-only parameter where the data is always zero.
Performs an action/command on the drive that does not need
any data.
A few examples from the CD SynqNet and the PicoDAD are:
0x01 MBEMFCOMP rw signed 16 {0-100} 0 "Back EMF
compensation percentage"
0x02 DICONT ro signed 16 {10-1100} 0 "Drive rated continuous
current"
0x03 DIPEAK ro signed 16 {10-1100} 0 "Drive rated peak current"
0x04 ICONT rw signed 16 {0-1000} 0 "Application rated
continuous current"
Parameter Configuration Section
The Configuration Section lists the parameters that will be downloaded to a drive from a drive
configuration file, or uploaded from a drive to a configuration file, using the sqDriveConfig
Utility. The section begins with the following header line:
#config
The header is followed by a list of drive parameter names (names only; not values). For
example:
ARF0
ARF1
BAT_F_DIS
CMD_F0
// – Indicates a comment and the line is ignored by the parser.
The sequence of names does not need to correspond to the sequence in the Parameter
Identification section. However, it does need to follow the sequence of parameters required by
the drive.
The configuration section typically ends with a –1. This code is used to instruct the
sqDriveConfig Utility to execute a drive CONFIG after the parameters have been downloaded.
After changing certain drive parameters (primarily motor and feedback parameters), the drive
will be in a "Not Configured" state and will require the execution of CONFIG to configure the
drive.
File Footer
#end – Designates the end of the parameter map file.
