DemandMode Enumeration

Description

DemandMode enumerates the demand modes for Axis objects. The demand mode determines the data type(s) transmitted from the controller to the node for servo control.

During SynqNet network initialization, the nodes are discovered and the demand mode is automatically set to a default value based on the particular drive model. The number of demand fields (1, 2, or 3) per axis are enabled and connected to the controller’s control algorithm.

Please consult the drive or RMB (Remote Motion Block) documentation to determine which modes are supported.

Version History

Introduced in MPX 2.0.

Enumeration Values

DemandMode	Meaning
Torque	The controller sends a 16-bit motor control value representing torque. For SynqNet drives only.
Velocity	The controller sends a 16-bit motor control value representing velocity. For SynqNet drives only.
Analog	The controller sends a 16-bit motor control value representing torque. For RMBs only.
DualAnalog	The controller sends two 16-bit motor control values. Use this mode for auxiliary DACs or sinusoidal commutation. For RMBs only.
