Σ-V Compatible Function and Settings
5.19
The Σ-V compatible function allows you to easily replace a Σ-V-Series SERVOPACK with a Σ-7-
Series SERVOPACK in an existing servo system.
As long as MECHATROLINK communications are used to communicate with the SERVOPACK
from the host controller, the Σ-7-Series SERVOPACK can be used in the same way as the
replaced Σ-V-Series SERVOPACK.
If you replace a Σ-V-Series SERVOPACK with a Σ-7-Series SERVOPACK, you must also replace
the previous Servomotor with a Servomotor that is compatible with the Σ-7-Series SERVOPACK.
You cannot use a Σ-V-Series Servomotor even if you use the Σ-V compatible function.

Setting the Communications Interface Compatibility
Selection
If you use MECHATROLINK communications to communicate with a Σ-7-Series SERVOPACK
as if it were a Σ-V-Series SERVOPACK, set Pn040 to n.1.
1. When you set Pn040 to n.1, you cannot use the following functions from the Sig-
maWin+.
• Mechanical Analysis
• Moment of Inertia Estimation
Important
2. If you set Pn040 to n.1, Pn040 will no longer be displayed on the SigmaWin+, so you will
not be able to change the setting. To change the setting of Pn040, use a Digital Operator or
initialize the parameters.
Refer to the following section for information on initializing parameters.

n.
If Pn040 is set to n.1, the information read by the ID_RD command will be as follows:
• Device code: 02200000h
• Device version: 00FFh
• Minimum transmission cycle: 250000 (250 μs) [unit: 0.01 μs]
• Main device name for a Rotary Servomotor: SGDV-21A
• Main device name for a Linear Servomotor: SGDV-25A
Refer to the following manual for IR_RD command details.

Setting the Encoder Resolution Compatibility Selection
If an SGM7J, SGM7A, SGM7P, or SGM7G Servomotor is connected to a Σ-7-Series SERVO-
PACK and the encoder is set to operate at a resolution of 20 bits, set Pn040 to n.1.
