Identification Mode

Description

In Identification mode you specify which criterion to use to automatically assign a Sercos device to an object in the PLC Configuration.

oSelect the desired identification mode in the selective list in the Identification mode column.

NOTE: To change the identification mode in all lines of this column at the same time, hold the shift key in the selection pressed.

Changing the identification mode after performing a Sercos scan ([Start] Sercos scan) will directly impact the automatic assignment of axes and the color coding of the respective row.

EPAS provides the following identification modes:

Identification mode

Parameter value

Description

Device serial number

SerialNumberController

The device will be assigned using the controller's serial number.

The parameter value SerialNumber is part of the parameter IdentificationMode.

Motor serial number1

SerialNumberMotor

The device will be assigned using the motor's serial number.

The SerialNumberMotor parameter value is part of the IdentificationMode parameter.

Topological address

TopologyAddress

The device will be assigned using the motor's topological address.

The TopologyAddress parameter value is part of the IdentificationMode parameter.

application type

Application Type

The device will be assigned using the application type.

The ApplicationType parameter value is part of the IdentificationMode parameter.

Sercos address

SercosAddress

The device is assigned using the Sercos address.

The Sercos address parameter value is part of the parameter IdentificationMode.

1NOTE: The identification mode Motor serial number is currently not supported.

Automatic assignment of axes is always performed using Identification mode.

Only if a value that matches the value specified in Identification mode is found, a scanned Sercos device will be assigned to a Sercos object in the PLC Configuration.

For instance, if the Identification mode is set to Topological address, the topological address of the scanned Sercos device must be identical to the topological address of a Sercos object in the PLC Configuration for an automatic assignment to be performed.
