Its optional encoder feedback and a number of protection features makes this drives very dependant and reliable. The Monopack 2 can do up to 406 microsteps and needs a power supply of 12-48 Volts.
Connect one phase coil to the “A1” and “A2” connectors and the other phase coil to the “B1 ” and “B2” connectors. Attention: Do not connect or disconnect the motor while the Monopack 2 is powered on as this could damage the...
OFF: Use CAN interface; ON: Use RS485 interface OFF: Use CAN interface; ON: Use RS485 interface OFF: Use Monopack 2 (binary) command set (compatible with old Monopack) ON: Use Monopack LT (ASCII) command set (compatible with old Monopack LT) OFF: normal operation...
The binary command mode is selected when DIP switch #6 is in its “off” position. This mode is compatible with the old “Monopack”, with some extensions. In the binary command mode the Monopack 2 expects data telegrams via the RS232 interface, the RS485 interface or the CAN interface. With those interfaces the following parameters...
The Monopak LT compatible command mode is selected when DIP switch #6 is in its “on” position. This command set is compatible with the old “Monopack LT” command set. In LT mode, the communication with the Monopack 2 can either take place via the RS232 interface or via the RS485 interface. The CAN interface can not be used in LT mode.
Set the absolute maximum current. This command is new on the Monopack 2. On the old Monopack, the absolute maximum current could only be set using the MC0 and MC1 input. On the Monopack 2 this is also possible, but it is now better to use this command.
Temperature (16 bit #) (units: TBD) On the old Monopack this command also returned the serial number of the device. This is no longer supported on the Monopack 2. Instead, the Monopack 2 returns the actual temperature of the device. 4.7.6 Hardware Reset ($CC) Reset the microcontroller of the MONOPACK so that all parameters are re-read from the EEPROM.
Interface selection In LT mode, the Monopack 2 can either communicate via RS232 or via RS485 interface. The default interface is the RS232 interface. To use the RS485 interface it must be selected by using the Y command. This setting can then be stored in the EEPROM to make it the default setting after next power-on.
Example: V2000 sets the velocity to 2000. Attention: The Monopack 2 uses a higher clock frequency than the Monopack LT. Thus the velocity and acceleration settings do not give identical results. To be compatible with the settings required by the Monopack LT, please multiply your velocity and acceleration settings by 0.691.
“+”, and when the actual position is higher than the target position the direction should be set to “-“. Otherwise the motor will run until the position counter wraps around. The Monopack 2 sends back the message “to <pos_targ>” (with <pos_targ> = target position) after the command has been entered.
Command: W After this command has been entered all parameters are stored in the EEPROM of the Monopack 2. When the EEPROM is enabled these values will be used as the power on default values. The message “Write EE” will be sent back to confirm that the parameters have been stored.
EEPROM using the “W” command and enable the EEPROM using the “E” command. After cycling the power the Monopack 2 is in RS485 mode. Now try to use an Y command with a value lower than 9 to make RS485 faster.
When the update / reset process is successful switch off the MONOpack2 and set back DIP-Switch 6. The Monopack2 is ready to use. Note: The program MONOpack2.exe can be found at TechLibCD and at www.trinamic.com, where the newest firmware version is also provided.
Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows ME. Please also note that just for controlling a single Monopack 2 with a PC, an RS485 is no longer needed. Instead, the RS232 interface of the Monopack 2 can be used to connect it directly to the RS232 interface of a PC.
