This will enable the following operations:

• Allowing TwinCAT Motion to issue to the robot an operation command as joint type data
• Outputting the current robot position to TwinCAT Motion

Setting

Follow the setting procedure below.

1

Set TwinCAT Motion [Axis Type] to [CANopen DS402/Profile MDP 742…].

Set the same value to the parameter [Scaling Factor Numerator] for both TwinCAT Motion and the TcCOM module.
The same value does not need to be set for all axes. The recommended value is 1e-06.

3

Set the same value to the parameter [Scaling Factor Denominator] for both TwinCAT Motion and the TcCOM module.
The same value does not need to be set for all axes. The recommended value is 1.0.
