Set Parameter On-the-Fly

Character: None
Decimal: 208-223
Hexadecimal: 0xD0-0xDF
Command Value: Value of the Parameter

 

Note: This command is supported in RMC100 CPU firmware dated 19980414 or later.

 

Each of these commands sets one of the parameters. The following table can be used to determine which command sets which parameter. Reference axes parameters cannot be set on-the-fly. Notice that some parameters can never be set on the fly:

  1. Changing these parameters on-the-fly requires firmware 20000913 or later.

  2. Changing these parameters on-the-fly requires firmware 20001204 or later.

  3. Changing these parameters on-the-fly requires firmware 20020426 or later.

  4. Setting the scale on-the-fly requires that the axis be in open loop.

 

You will notice that some parameters cannot be changed on the fly. They can be changed by stopping the axis, writing the parameters, and issuing a Set Parameters command.

Warning: Changing any of the gains or feed forwards generates a drive discontinuity in most cases.
