●Affected Models:
Servo drivers of all MINAS A6NE and A6NF series
(Part number) M"DL*"N"
Starting with M, with DL as the 3rd and 4th characters, and N as the 8th character from the left.
●Description of the Change and Reason:
The software version will be upgraded from Ver 1.20 to Ver1.21 for functionality improvement purposes.
■Expansion of absolute data range
Multi-revolution effective bits of absolute data are expanded for enabling the recovery of position data up
to 65536 revolutions.
* Effective bit length of multi-revolution varies by electronic gear ratio.
■Functional expansion of RTEX communication setting (Pr7.108)
Measurement result of actual cycle time of RTEX communication data sent from higher level equipment can be monitored by using the communication status monitor of the "PANATERM" setup support software
This function enables the monitoring of higher level equipment's communication data cycle fluctuations
In addition, RTEX communication synchronization specifications can be selected
■ Addition of RTEX monitor data (Pr7. 29, Pr7. 30, Pr7. 31, Pr7. 32, Pr7. 33, Pr7. 34)
Parameter values during shipment and monitor flag indicating the internal condition of the driver can be obtained by using the RTEX communication command.
Monitor flag: Selected condition of increment/absolute mode, selected condition of
semi-closed/fully-closed control condition
●Timing: The change will be made from the production lot in May 2017.
● Method of checking:
■ Method involving checking the software version
The software version can be checked by using the setup support software (PANATERM), or by checking from the RTEX communication command.
■Method of checking the year and month of manufacturing from the manufacturing code (serial number)
The manufacturing code (serial number) shown on the name plate located on the side of the product conforms to the following rule.
