Drive objects

A drive object is a self-contained software function with its own parameters and, if
necessary, its own faults and alarms. Drive objects can be provided as standard (e.g. I/O
evaluation), or you can add single (e.g. option board) or multiple objects (e.g. drive control).

Drive objects
Drive control handles closed-loop control of the motor. At least 1 Power Module and at
least 1 motor and up to 3 encoders are assigned to the drive control.
The inputs/outputs on the Control Unit are evaluated within a drive object.
A further drive object handles evaluation of an installed option board. The specific method
of operation depends on the type of option board installed.
A separate drive object handles evaluation of the respective optional Terminal Modules.
