Mechatrolink bus configuration.

MLINK
Mechatrolink mode.
Possible values: No / Mlink-I / Mlink-II.
Default value: No.
Associated variable: (V.)MPG.MLINK
This parameter may be used to set the Mechatrolink bus in either Mlink-I mode or Mlink-II
mode. All the elements of the bus must be operating in the same mode (Mlink-I or Mlink-II);
therefore, the selection will be conditioned by the mode available at the slaves connected
to the bus.
Limitations of a system with a Mechatrolink bus.
• The CNC does not run any parameter matching process with Mechatrolink drives. The
parameters of the drive must be set with the assistance of external tools provided by the
drive manufacturer, through the interface of the device itself or writing the parameters
from the DDSSetup and Tuning modes of the CNC.
• Second feedback cannot be used; therefore, the feedbacks cannot be combined
(parameter FBMIXTIME) or swapped (parameter FBACKSRC). No configuration similar
to semi-Sercos is possible either.
• Tandem axes or spindles are not possible.
• Axes or spindles cannot be parked.
• Bode is not available.
• Set changing is not possible.
• The coordinate cannot be initialized.
• The dynamic changing of feed forward, AC forward and Kv will depend on the devices
connected to the bus.
DATASIZE
Telegram size in Mlink-II mode.
Possible values: 17 / 32 bytes.
Default value: 32 bytes.
Associated variable: (V.)MPG.DATASIZE
This parameter sets the telegram size for the Mlink-II mode. All the elements of the bus must
be operating with the same telegram size; therefore, the selection will be conditioned by the
properties of the slaves connected to the bus.
