4 Axis Parameters
Most motor controller features of the PD-1160 module are controlled by axis parameters. Axis parameters
can be modified or read using SAP, GAP and AAP commands. Some axis parameters can also be stored to
or restored from the EEPROM using STAP and RSAP commands. This chapter describes all axis parameters
that can be used on the PD-1160 module. Please see also section 6.1 for information about converting
between internal units of the module (named [int] in this manual) and real world units.

Access type Command Description
R GAP Parameter readable
W SAP, AAP Parameter writable
E STAP, RSAP Parameter can be stored in the EEPROM
