• REGIST question

  Question: Can I use more than the 8 inputs 0 to 7 on the MC4N/MC6N as registration inputs, using REGIST(21 ... ) ? Suggestion & resolution: The hardware that does the registration is only there on inputs 0 to 7. You can do a "soft" regist that is ...

• AN-291 Touch Probe EtherCAT registration

  Digital Servo Drives often have a position capture function known either as Touch Probe or Touch Trigger. This function uses either the Z mark on the motor’s encoder, or one of 2 external inputs to act as the latch signal and capture the encoder ...

• Registration input to step output delay

  REGIST will precisely capture a position within microsconds but the MARK goes TRUE only on the following servo cycle, so as a raw edge detection it is no faster than an IN command. The only advantage is that you get to trigger on an edge with REGIST. ...

• MC_CONFIG vs Flash parameters

  All Motion Coordinators store the IP_ADDRESS, IP_NETMASK and IP_GATEWAY in Flash memory.  So there is usually no need to add them to the MC_CONFIG. There are some differences with other system parameters. MC4N-ECAT, MC4N-RTX, MC6N-ECAT, Flex-6 Nano ...
