Chapter 7 Motion Control ASDA-A2R SeriesRevision December, 2014 7-37.2.1 Description of Monitor VariablesDescription of Monitor Variables:Item DescriptionsVariableCodeEach monitor variable has a code. Set the code via P0-02 so that theusers can monitor the variable.Format Every monitor variable is saved with the format of 32-bit (long integer) inthe servo drive.Classification It is divided into basic variables and extension variables:1. Basic variables: Use the Monitor Mode on the panel to find thevariable (variables in the cycle) by pressing UP/ DOWN Key(P0-02 = 0~26)2. Extension variables: Variables other than the basic ones (P0-02 =27~127)MonitorMethod Two methods, Panel display and Mapping:1. Panel display: View through the panel directly2. Mapping: Correspond the variables to the system parameters andview the variables via parameters.PanelDisplay1. Switch to the Monitor Mode by pressing the MODE Key and selectthe desired monitoring variables via UP/DOWN Key.2. Directly enter the desired monitoring code via P0-02 for viewing.Pressing the SHF Key on the panel can switch the display of high /low word; Pressing the SET Key on the panel can switch thedisplay of decimal / hexadecimal format.Mapping 1. Mapping parameters that support monitor variable are P0-09 ~P0-13. Please refer to Chapter 8.3 for parameter description.2. Monitor variables can be read via communication by mappingparameters.3. The value of mapping parameters (P0-09~P0-13) is the content ofbasic variables (17h, 18h, 19h, 1Ah). The setting value which is setby P0-17 should be monitored via p0-09 (refer to p0-02). Whenaccessing data via communication, the value of P0-17 can be reador monitored via panel (Set P0-02 to 23). When the panel shows「VAR-1」, it means it is the value of P0-09.
