I'm not sure what to set the drive types in parameters 300-307 for my 3rd party drives connected to my Oak board. I have two ABB Microflex drives running in velocity control mode using the +-10V analog request signal connected to axis 1 & 2.
The oak install manual shows setting 300=1, 301=2. Is that correct even these drives are not any of DC3IOB, DC1, ACSINGLE, OPTIC4, or OPTICDIRECT?
Also when tuning the drives, I need to run the drives built-in tuning first and then run the Oak's axis tuning?
Thanks,
Tom

Parameters 300-307 drive types on Oak

Confidence is the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.

Re: Parameters 300-307 drive types on Oak
Parameters 300-307 are not a drive type selection. They are a drive interface mapping. They tell the control which drive interface to look on for each logical axis.
Assuming you are using the Oak without any additional DriveBus devices (e.g. OpticDirect boards plugged into the "Drive Communication Out" header), then the four axis interface headers on the Oak board are drives #1, #2, #3 and #4. Those are the values you would use in Parameters 300-303, regardless of what make or model servo drives you are using.
Similarly, the encoder inputs on those four headers are encoder inputs #1, #2, #3 and #4. Those are the values you would leave in Parameters 308-311.

Re: Parameters 300-307 drive types on Oak
Thanks, CNCSNW. I have it configured like you and the OAK install manual suggest. The CNC11 T series operators manual in the parameter section suggest that the parameter group is for the selection of the drive type and mentions specific drives. That was the source of my confusion.
Code: Select all
Drive Number Assignment Drive Type and Location Description
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 Drive Bus Channel 1-8 Drive types are DC3IOB, DC1, ACSINGLE,
OPTIC4, and OPTICDIRECT. Other drive
types may be added in the future.
9, 10, 11, 12 GPIO4D/RTK4 Drive Out 1-4 Drive output is implemented as outputs
on the PLC bus which are updated at 4000hz.
13 RTK4 Drive Out 5 5th output for RTK4 drive
14-16 Reserved
17, 18, 19, 20 Legacy DC 1-4 Examples of Legacy DC drives are: QUADDRV1,
SERVO1, M15DRV1, DC3IO, SERVOLV,
SERVO3IO, DCSINGLE.
21,22,23,24,25 Legacy AC 1-5 Examples of Legacy AC drives are: SD1, and SD3.
