Axis.DriveParamReadInt8

DriveParamReadInt8 returns the drive parameter specified by the index argument as a 8-bit signed integer.

SynqNet drives may have drive-specific parameters. These parameters are used to provide drive-specific information to the user or allow the user to change the drive configuration.

Examples of read-only drive parameters are: amplifier power rating, amplifier temperature, motor capacity, motor serial number, encoder type, etc.

Examples of read/write drive parameters are: maximum torque limit, maximum speed limit, gravity compensation, etc.

Note: DriveParamReadInt8 does not validate whether the data type is supported by the drive parameter being read.  It is up to the user to choose the correct drive parameter method.  Please refer to your drive’s manual for information about what data types are supported by each drive parameter.
