SureServo 2 P5.1XX Documentation

Hello,

 

Is there anywhere I can look for more detailed documentation on the P5.1xx series of parameters used for EthernetIP implicit messaging? Some of them, such as PATH_Target and PATH_Type seem simple enough, however other such as PATH_Options1, PATH_Data1, etc. are not described so well in the SureServo 2 Manual. I'd like to know exactly which data points for a given path are being written to by changing these parameters, rather than figure it out through hours of trial and error.

 

Thanks in Advance for any assistance.

    To address your original question...

    The definition of P5.114 Path Option 1 is dependent upon the selected mode:

    • Option parameter for Speed Control: Page 7-21 of the user manual
    • Option parameter for Position Control: Page 7-24 of the user manual
    • Option parameter for Jump Command: Page 7-26 of the user manual

     

    Regarding the concatenation of PATH_Data1 and PATH_Data2 to populate P6.003 upon a PATH_Save set... you are correct.

    Can you plc import .EDS files? If yes, you can go to the Sure Servo 2 software go to the EDS file generator (help topic 651) and then generate an EDS file and then import this into your plc.

    Thank you for your reply. Yes, my PLC can import .EDS files. In this case I am using an Allen-Bradley CompactLogix 5069-L310ER. What I am trying to do, specifically, is use implicit messaging via this PLC to write new position data to a given path based on the process controlled by the PLC.

     

    Looking through the parameters, I see that the actual positional data for a given path is a 32-bit integer, and all communications parameters are 16-bit integers. Am I to assume that PATH_Data1 and PATH_Data2 are concatenated inside the SureServo 2 drive to populate positional data? I.e. for Path #1, When PATH_Save is set, PATH_Data1 and PATH_Data2 are concatenated and used to populate P6.003. Is this the case?

     

    Thank you.
