ACOPOSmulti Encoder Card ParIDs in Simulation

Hello,

i am trying to test a project where i change the ACOPOSmulti Encoder Card Parameters using MC_BR_ProcessConfig in order to make my software working with different encoder cards which were used in the past.

I have a 8BAC0122.00-1 card at an 8BVIxxxxxxDx.xxx-x inverter. When i upload the project into the simulation the corresponding ParIDs of the encoder card are always 0 (97: Encoder Type, 203 Encoder Polepairs) even though i activated the ACOPOS simulation on the plc and used the complete controlled system simulation mode.

Also when add the encoder card in the pysical view and don’t use the MC_BR_ProcessConfig the ParIDs are always zero. At a real machine however i can see the correct parameter values after startup (e.g. polepair=4 and encoderType=5).

So do i have to activate further simulation relatetd settings or is the encoder card nerver simulated?

Hello Niklas,

when a ACOPOS drive is simulated on the PLC or on ARsim, encoder ParIDs are not supported (with very few exceptions).
The test you want to do, can only be done with a physical drive connected to a physical PLC. The motor, however, can be simulated on the drive.

Hello Martin,
alright, thanks for the information.
