Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP Network

Use this manual to review reference descriptions of the

AXIS_CIP_DRIVE attributes and the Studio 5000 Logix Designer®
application Control Modes and Methods.
Review Motion Control Modes on page 16 for a reference for the Motion
Control Modes and Motion Control Methods that explains when you can
use an axis attribute in an individual control mode.
To learn about how the different control modes function with attributes
review the diagrams provided in Behavior models used in CIP Motion on
page 25.
The Control Modes table lists the Motion Axis Attributes specific to the
CIP Drive data type. The table identifies the attribute implementation rule
as either Required, Optional, or Conditional. Drive replicated attributes
are identified also.
Review the Interpret the Attribute Tables on page 85 section for an
explanation of how the data for the attributes are organized.
CIP Axis Attributes cover a wide range of drive types. The CIP Axis
Attributes on page 239 topics contain:
• Detailed attribute definitions
• Configurations
• Status
• Faults
Each attribute is in a table that includes information about:
• Usage
• Access
• Data type
• Default, minimum, and maximum values
• Semantics of values
Attributes associated with components that are common to all axis
instances of a multi-axis CIP Motion device or module are detailed in
Module Configuration Attributes on page 685.
The Motion Control Axis Object covers the behavior of various motion
Integrated Motion Axis control system devices that includes feedback devices, drive devices,
Control Modes and Methods standalone regenerative and non-regenerative converters, and motion
I/O devices. For drive devices, the Motion Control Axis Object covers a
wide range of drive types from simple variable frequency (V/Hz) drives, to
sophisticated position control servo drives, with or without integral
converters. Many commercial drive products have axes that can be
configured with instructions to operate in any one of these different
motion control modes depending on the specific application
requirements.

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 15

Chapter 1 Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP Network
Based on the variations in Motion Control Mode and Motion Control
Method, a set of basic Device Function Codes have been defined that
help organize the many attributes of the Motion Control Axis. Each
attribute has a unique identifier (ID).

See also
Motion Control Modes on page 16
Motion Control Methods on page 20
Motion Instruction Compatibility on page 22
Device Function Codes on page 89
Identify Motion Axis Attributes Based on Device Function Codes
on page 93
Motion control modes are organized around the general philosophy that
Motion Control Modes position control is the highest form of dynamic control. That is, position
control implies velocity control, and velocity control implies acceleration
control.
Acceleration is related to torque or force by the inertia or mass of the
load; respectively, acceleration control implies torque control. Because
motor torque or force is generally related to motor current by a torque or
force constant, respectively, torque control implies current control. The
torque or force constant can be a function of the motor magnets as in a
Permanent Magnet motor, or the induced flux of an Induction motor.
Because acceleration, torque/force, and current are generally related by
a constant, these terms are sometimes used interchangeably in the
industry. For example, a torque control loop rather than a current control
loop. Motion Control Axis Attributes let you differentiate between these
control properties. This is useful when the relationship between them is
not static, such as when inertia/mass changes with position or time, or
when the torque/force constant changes due to temperature change or
motor flux variation.
The Control Modes are:
• B - Bus Power Converters (No Control Mode, No Control Method)
• E - Encoder, Feedback Only (No Control Mode, No Control
Method)
• P - Position Control Mode
• V - Velocity Control Mode
• T - Torque Control Mode
• F - Velocity Control Mode

Motion Control Nomenclature

Linear and rotary control applications can affect the control
nomenclature. While rotary applications speak of torque and inertia,
linear applications speak of force and mass. When we refer to rotary
nomenclature, the defined behavior can generally be applied to linear

16 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 1 Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP Network
applications by substituting the terms, force for torque and mass for
inertia. With that understanding, we use torque rather than force in the
control mode diagrams without loss of generality.

See also
Position Control Mode on page 17
Velocity Control Mode on page 18
Torque Control Mode on page 19
No Control Mode on page 20
In Position Control application mode either the application control
Position Control Mode program (command execution function) or the motion planner (move
trajectory control function) provide a setpoint value to the CIP Motion
device using the cyclic data connection. The Position Control method can
be either open loop or closed loop.

Open Loop Position Control Method

A device configured for open loop position control applies to a class of
drive devices called stepper drives. This type of drive is illustrated below.

A feedback device for this configuration is optional. In the absence of a

feedback device, actual position can be estimated by the drive and
returned to the controller.

Closed Loop Position Control Method

A motor control device configured for closed loop position control is
traditionally referred to as position loop drive or position servo drive. A
position servo drive implies an inner velocity and torque control loop as
shown in following diagram. The presence of the torque/current control
loop sometimes results in this kind of drive being referred to as a vector
drive.

A feedback device for this configuration is generally required to achieve
good positioning accuracy. The feedback device can also be used to
return Actual Velocity and Actual Acceleration data to the controller using
the cyclic data connection.
In addition to Command Position, the controller can pass Command
Velocity and Command Acceleration for the purposes of forward control.

In Velocity Control application mode the application control program and
Velocity Control Mode motion planner provide a setpoint value to the CIP Motion device using
the cyclic data connection. The velocity control method can be either
open loop or closed loop.

Open Loop Velocity Control Method

A motor control device configured for open loop velocity control is
traditionally referred to as Variable Frequency, or V/Hz, or VFD, drive.
This type of drive is illustrated below.
A feedback device for this configuration is optional. In the absence of a
feedback device, actual velocity can be estimated by the drive and
returned to the controller.

Closed Loop Velocity Control Method

A motor control device configured for closed loop velocity control is
traditionally referred to as velocity loop drive or velocity servo drive. A
closed loop velocity control drive implies an inner torque/current control
loop and therefore is sometimes referred to as a vector drive.

A feedback device for the velocity loop drive configuration is optional.

You can achieve tighter speed regulation when using a feedback device,
particularly at low speed. When the feedback device is included it may be
used to return actual position, velocity, and acceleration data to the

18 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 1 Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP Network
controller using the cyclic data connection. When the feedback device is
not included, only estimated velocity can typically be returned to the
controller.
In addition to Command Velocity, the controller can also pass Command
Acceleration for the purposes of forward control.

Acceleration Control Method

While not a mainstream control mode in the industry nor mentioned in the
IEC standard, the acceleration control mode is included here to complete
the dynamic progression from velocity control to torque control and
because the Motion Control Axis Object can support an Acceleration
Command, potentially derived from the controller's motion planner. In the
acceleration control mode, the application control program and motion
planner provide acceleration set-point values to the CIP Motion device
using the cyclic data connection. The drive converts the acceleration
set-point into a torque command using the estimated system inertia.
Acceleration control works in concert with the inner torque/current control
loop as shown below.

A feedback device for the acceleration control configuration is mandatory

and may be used to return actual position, velocity, and acceleration data
to the controller using the cyclic data connection.

Motion Control Modes on page 16
In Torque Control application mode, the application control program or
Torque Control Mode the motion planner provide torque setpoint values to the device using the
cyclic data connection. Because motor current and motor torque are
generally related by a torque constant, Kt, torque control is often
synonymous with current control.

Chapter 1 Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP Network
A position feedback device for this control mode is optional. If a feedback
device is present it can be used to return actual position, velocity, and
acceleration data to the controller using the cyclic data connection.

Motion Control Modes on page 16
The Motion Control Axis Object supports a No Control application mode
No Control Mode where there is no dynamic motor control function. This mode is often
used to support Feedback Only or Master Feedback functionality where
a feedback channel in a CIP Motion Drive device is serving as a master
feedback source to the rest of the control system. This mode could also
be applied to integrated CIP Motion Encoder device types where the CIP
Motion interface is applied directly to an Encoder.
In this No Control mode of operation, no command value is supplied to
the CIP Motion device using the cyclic data connection, but actual
position, velocity, and acceleration can be produced by the device to the
controller using the cyclic data channel, if applicable. The No Control
mode for Feedback Only functionality is illustrated in the following
diagram:

No Control (Feedback Only)

No Control mode also applies to other CIP Motion device types, such as
standalone Bus Power Converters and dedicated Motion I/O device
types. Since there is no feedback channel that is associated with these
device types, no actual position is returned to the controller.

Within this basic motion control paradigm, there is latitude for different
Motion Control Methods control methods, both closed loop and open loop. By closed loop, it is
implied that there is a feedback signal that is used to drive the actual
dynamics of the motor to match the commanded dynamics by servo
action.
20 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022
 Chapter 1 Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP Network
In most cases, there is a literal feedback device to provide this signal, and
in some cases the signal is derived from the motor excitation, for
example, sensorless/encoderless operation.
By open loop, it is implied that there is no application of feedback to force
the actual dynamics to match the commanded dynamics. While precision
and performance are the hallmarks of closed loop control, simplicity and
economy are the hallmarks of open loop control.
The Control Method attribute is an 8-bit enumerated code that
determines the basic control algorithm. The device applies the algorithm
to control the dynamic behavior of the motor that is associated with an
axis. The Control Methods related to the Control Modes are listed in the
following table.

Control Method Filed Enumeration Definitions

Enumeration Usage Name Description

0 R/N No Control No Control is associated with a Control Mode of No

Control where there is no explicit motor control that
is provided by the device for this axis instance.

1 R/F Frequency Control Frequency Control is an "open loop" control method

that applies voltage to the motor, generally in
proportion to the commanded frequency or speed.
This control method is associated with Variable
Frequency Drives (VFDs) or so called Volts/Hertz
drives.
2 R/C PI Vector Control PI Vector Control is a "closed loop" control method
that uses actual or estimated feedback for closed
loop cascaded PI control of motor dynamics, that is,
position, velocity, acceleration, and torque, and
always includes independent closed loop PI control
of Iq and Id components of the motor current
vector.

While dynamic motor control through an acceleration command is not
Acceleration Control common in the industry, Acceleration Control completes the dynamic
Behavior progression from Velocity Control to Torque Control. The output of the
velocity loop, Velocity Loop Output, also has units of acceleration. The
sum the contributions of the Acceleration Command, Acceleration Trim,
and Velocity Loop Output to form the Acceleration Reference signal that
serves as one of the primary inputs to Torque Control behavior.
Acceleration Control can optionally include a Load Observer to
compensate for mechanical backlash, mechanical compliance, and
various load disturbances.
The following diagram provides an overview of the Acceleration Control
behavior model, including the Load Observer.

The following diagram illustrates this process.

Acceleration Control can optionally include a Load Observer. Feeding
Load Observer the Acceleration Reference into a Load Observer, along with the velocity
feedback signal, has been found to be effective in compensating for
mechanical backlash, mechanical compliance, and various load
disturbances.
The Load Observer's effectiveness in this regard can be thought of as a
result of the observer adding virtual inertia to the motor. When the
observer is enabled, it functions as an inner feedback loop, like the
current loop, but unlike the current loop in that the observer's control loop
includes the motor mechanics.
Due to the work of the Load Observer, variations in load inertia, mass,
and even the motor's torque/force constant can be nearly eliminated as
seen by the velocity loop. In fact, because the Load Observer includes
the Acceleration Reference signal as an input, it can provide a velocity
estimate signal that has less delay than the velocity feedback estimate
generated by the actual feedback device. Thus, applying the Load
Observer's velocity estimate to the velocity loop can be used to improve
the performance of the velocity loop.

26 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 2 Behavior models used in CIP Motion

Acceleration Feedback Selection

Feedback to the Load Observer can be derived from either Feedback 1
or Feedback 2. Which feedback source is used by the loop is governed
by the Feedback Mode. In general, the Load Observer works best when
by using a high resolution feedback device.

Acceleration and Torque Estimates

The output of the Load Observer is the Acceleration Estimate signal that
is subsequently applied to the acceleration reference summing junction.
When configured for Load Observer operation, the Acceleration Estimate
signal represents the error between the actual acceleration. The signal is
seen by the feedback device and the acceleration is estimated by the
Load Observer. This is based on an ideal model of the motor and load.
By subtracting the Acceleration Estimate signal from the output of the
Acceleration Limiter, the Load Observer is forcing the actual motor and
load to behave like the ideal model, as seen by the velocity loop. The
Acceleration Estimate signal can be seen as a dynamic measure of how
much the actual motor and load are deviating from the ideal model. Such
deviations from the ideal motor model can be modeled as torque
disturbances. Scaling the Load Observer Acceleration Estimate signal by
the System Inertia results in the Load Observer Torque Estimate signal.
This signal represents an estimate of the motor torque disturbance.
When configured for Acceleration Feedback operation, the Load
Observer Acceleration Estimate represents an acceleration feedback
signal. Applying this signal to the acceleration reference summing
junction forms a closed acceleration loop. Scaling the Load Observer
Acceleration Estimate signal by the System Inertia results in the Load
Observer Torque Estimate signal. This signal represents an estimate of
motor torque.

Load Observer Configuration

The Load Observer can be configured in a variety of ways using the Load
Observer Configuration attribute. Standard Load Observer function is
enabled by selecting the Load Observer Only.
In addition, the Load Observer's estimated velocity signal can be applied
as feedback to the velocity loop by selecting Load Observer with Velocity
Estimate or Velocity Estimate Only. Selecting Acceleration Feedback
degenerates the Load Observer to an acceleration feedback loop by
disconnecting the Acceleration Reference input from the observer. The
observer's velocity estimate is not available in this mode of operation.

Command data that impacts axis motion can come from a variety of
Command Data Sources sources. The most common command data source is from a
controller-based Motion Planner using the CIP Motion C-to-D
Connection. In this context, command data can take the form of
Controller Position, Velocity, Acceleration, and Torque Commands
generated by the Motion Planner. The command data elements provided
are specified by the Command Data Set attribute, which is based on the
selected Control Mode. The primary command data element can be
augmented by higher order command elements for the purposes of
generating high quality feedforward signals. Alternatively, these higher
order command elements can be derived by the device from the primary

28 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 2 Behavior models used in CIP Motion
command data. In either case, a Fine Command Interpolator is generally
applied to the Command Data to generate command reference signals to
the device's control structure at the device's update rate.
Another source of command data is a local Motion Planner resident
within the device. The Motion Device Axis Object defines a rich set of
features associated with a device based Motion Planner. These features
include support for electronic gearing, camming, moves, and jogs.
Through use of the CIP Motion peer-to-peer connection, the gearing and
camming functions can be directly linked to a master axis command
reference from a producing peer device for high performance
line-shafting applications. Alternatively, the master axis command
reference can be derived from a local motion axis instance. To facilitate
these features, the Motion Planner also supports the ability to establish
an absolute position reference to the machine through homing and
redefine position operations as well as perform rotary unwind
functionality. The device's Motion Planner is controlled by CIP service
requests.
Command Data, such as the Controller Velocity Command, can be set
directly by the user. In this context, the device must apply its own Ramp
Generator function to smoothly accelerate or decelerate the motor to the
commanded velocity.
Both the Fine Command Interpolator and the Ramp Generator are
functions of the Command Generator blocks shown in the functional
block diagram below.

Command Generation Behavior on page 28
For synchronized, high-performance applications using CIP Motion,
Command Fine Interpolation command data is received from the CIP Motion C-to-D Connection or the
device's local Motion Planner, and based on the connection's Command
Target Update element being set to 'Interpolate', processed by the Fine
Interpolator functionality of the Command Generator.
The job of the Fine Interpolator is to compute coefficients to a trajectory
polynomial that is designed to reach the command data at its associated
Command Target Time. Depending on the specific command data
element, the trajectory can follow a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd order polynomial
trajectory with initial conditions based on current axis dynamics.
Because the polynomial is a function of time, a new fine command value
can be calculated any time the CIP Motion device needs to perform a
control calculation. As a result, it is not necessary that the device's
control calculation period be integrally divisible into the Controller Update
Period.
To improve device interchangeability, a minimum order for the fine
interpolators is recommended. Because contemporary Motion Planners
typically generate their trajectories based on 3rd order polynomials in
position, it is important that the fine interpolators reproduce these
trajectories with high fidelity. Therefore, the position fine interpolator is
defined as 3rd order, the velocity interpolator is 2nd order, and the

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 29

Chapter 2 Behavior models used in CIP Motion
acceleration and torque interpolators are both 1st order. Higher order fine
interpolators are possible and are left to the device vendor's discretion.
The following table provide a reference to the polynomial equations:
Interpolator name Equation
Position Fine Interpolation Polynomial P(t) = a0 + a1 * (t-t0) + a2 * (t- t0)2 + a3 * (t-t0)3
Velocity Fine Interpolation Polynomial V(t) = b0 + b1 * (t-t0) + b2 * (t- t0)2
Acceleration Fine Interpolation A(t) = c0 + c1 * (t-t0)
Polynomial
Torque Fine Interpolation Polynomial T(t) = d0 + d1 * (t-t0)

In these equations, time (t0), represents the Command Target Time for
the previous Motion Planner update such that when t = t0, the position
(P), velocity (V), acceleration (A), and torque (T) command values are
equal to the values sent in the previous Motion Planner update, for
example, P–1, V–1, A–1, and T–1. This establishes the 0th order coefficients
of the polynomials.
• P(t0) = P–1 = a0
• V(t0) = V–1 = b0
• A(t0) = A–1 = c0
• T(t0) = T–1 = d0
The higher order polynomial coefficients are calculated such that by the
next Motion Planner update, corresponding to Command Target Time, t1,
the position, velocity, acceleration, and torque command values are the
values sent in the latest Motion Planner update, for example, P0, V0, A0,
and T0.
• P(t1) = P0
• V(t1) = V0
• A(t1) = A0
• T(t1) = T0
Using the above polynomial interpolation equations, the CIP Motion
device can compute position, velocity, acceleration, and torque
command values at any time by plugging in the current System Time
value of the device into the variable, t. This allows the device's control
calculation to be performed according to a schedule that is independent
of the controller's update schedule.
One thing that must be done, however, is to adjust the Command Target
Time, t0, if there is a shift in the System Time Offset for the device; t0 and
t are always based on the same System Time reference system. For
example, assume the device's System Time Offset when the control
command timestamp, t0, was received as Offset0. If the command
interpolation equation is to be applied at t= t1 and the current System
Time Offset is defined as Offset1, then t0 is adjusted as follows before
executing the polynomial:
• Adjusted t0 = t0 + (Offset1 – Offset0)
Alternatively, the values for t, t0, and t1 can be based on local time rather
than system time by using the current System Time Offset to convert
between System Time to local time. This may be more convenient for the
interpolator implementation and is left to the device vendor's discretion.

30 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 2 Behavior models used in CIP Motion
The polynomial coefficients are computed based on standard formulas
that are a function of the history of command values over the last few
updates. The number of historical command values used in the formula
depends on the order of the polynomial. For example, the 3rd order
command position polynomial uses the three previous command position
values. For convenience, the interpolator polynomial coefficient formulas
are provided in the following table:
Coefficient name Equations
Position Fine Interpolation Polynomial a0 = P-1
Coefficients a1 = 1/T * (∆P0 - 1/2*∆V0 - 1/6*∆A0)
a2 = 1/T2 * (1/2*∆V0)
a3 = 1/T3 * (1/6*∆A0)
Velocity Fine Interpolation Polynomial b0 = V-1
Coefficients b1 = 1/T * (V- 1/2*∆A0)
b2 = 1/T2 * (1/2*∆A0)
Acceleration Fine Interpolation c0 = A-1
Polynomial Coefficients (Torque is c1 = 1/T * ∆A0
same form as Accel)
These equations are based on the following nomenclature:
T = Controller Update Period
∆P0 = (P0 - P-1)
∆V0 = (V0 - V-1) = (P0 - 2P-1 + P-2)
∆A0 = (A0 - A-1) = (V0 - 2V-1 + V-2) = (P0 - 3P-1 + 3P-2 - P-3)

The preceding polynomial coefficients should be applied to the fine

interpolator as soon possible after t is equal to or greater than t0. Applying
the new coefficients too early, for example, with significantly less than t0,
can create unnecessary error in the command trajectory when
connecting the last fine interpolator segment to the new fine interpolator
segment at t0.
When t > t1, the fine interpolation polynomial becomes an extrapolation
polynomial. In the absence of a fresh update from the Motion Planner, the
extrapolation polynomial can be used to provide estimated command
data to the device control structure until fresh Motion Planner command
data is available. Once fresh command data is made available, new
polynomial coefficients are computed and applied without delay. In this
way, the motion control can 'ride-through' occasionally late or with lost
connection data packets resulting in a robust distributed motion control
network solution. To be clear, late connection data is always applied and
never thrown away; late data still represents the freshest data available
from the controller and the extrapolation polynomial ensures that the
command data is applied in such a way as to maintain a smooth motion
trajectory despite variations in command data delivery.
When the update period of the Motion Planner is short enough relative to
the dynamics of the command trajectory, or is comparable to the device
control calculation period, fine interpolation may not be necessary. The
Motion Planner can make this determination by comparing the planner
update period to that of the device control calculation period. When fine
interpolation is used, the planner adds additional planner update periods
to the planner time stamp, so it is advantageous to eliminate this planner
update period delay if interpolation is not necessary.

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 31

Chapter 2 Behavior models used in CIP Motion
Even though fine interpolation may not be necessary in some cases, it
does not mean that the command data is to be applied directly to the
device's control structure. It still may be necessary to calculate the above
polynomials so the device can extrapolate the command value when the
device's control update occurs. That is because, in general, the device's
control update time stamp does not need to match the time stamp of the
command data.
Finally, there are applications and CIP Motion device types that do not
require the dynamic accuracy that time-stamped interpolation and
extrapolation provide. Various velocity and Torque Control applications,
for example, may fall in this category. In general, command data can also
be applied to the control structures of Variable Frequency drives without
interpolation or extrapolation.

Command Generation Behavior on page 28
When operating in Closed Loop Velocity mode, the Ramp Generator
Command Ramp Generator feature of the Velocity Fine Command Generator block is applied to the
Controller Velocity Command value sent by the controller when the
Command Target Update element of the connection is set to ‘Immediate’
mode. In Immediate mode, Command Data is applied immediately to the
devices’ control structure without fine interpolation or extrapolation. Since
there is generally no motion planner generating the Command Data in
this mode, the Command Data value from the controller can change
drastically from one update to the next. To address this condition, a
Ramp Generator function is needed to ramp the motor to the new
Controller Velocity Command Data value within the dynamic limitations of
system. For example, if the Controller Velocity Command value suddenly
changed from 0 to 30 revolutions per second in Immediate Mode, the
Ramp Generator would produce a Fine Velocity Command signal that
accelerates the motor to the Controller Velocity Command value based
on the configured Ramp Acceleration and Jerk Control attribute values.
The Ramp Jerk Control attribute determines what percentage of the
acceleration or deceleration ramps is S-Curve with the remaining portion
of the ramp governed by the fixed Ramp Acceleration or Deceleration
attribute values.
When operating in Closed Loop Velocity mode, the Ramp Generator
feature of the Velocity Fine Command Generator block allows the motor
to ramp to zero speed, as part of a Ramped Decel stopping action,
regardless of the value of the Command Target Update element.
Likewise, when operating in Closed Loop Position mode, the Ramp
Generator feature of the Position Fine Command Generator block allows
the motor to ramp to zero speed, as part of a Ramped Decel stopping
action, again regardless of the value of the Command Target Update
element. The deceleration ramp profile is determined by the configured
Ramp Deceleration and Jerk Control attribute values. The Ramp Jerk
Control attribute determines what percentage of the deceleration ramp is
S-Curve with the remaining portion of the ramp governed by the fixed
Ramp Deceleration attribute value.

 Chapter 2 Behavior models used in CIP Motion
While a Ramp Generator function could be included in each of the Fine
Command Generator blocks for position, velocity, and acceleration
commands, this version of the Motion Device Axis Object specification
only supports a Ramp Generator in the Velocity Fine Command
Generator block, and in the Position Fine Command Generator block for
the purposes of applying a Ramped Decel stopping action in Position
Control Mode.
The Ramp Generator enforces directional velocity limits on the
Command Data, ensuring that the Velocity Command never exceeds the
configured Maximum Velocity Pos/Neg values.
In Velocity Control Mode, the Ramp Generator also supports Flying Start
functionality. When enabling the drive while the motor is still moving, the
Ramp Generator output is initialized to the current speed of the motor.
From there, the Ramp Generator smoothly accelerates or decelerates
the motor to the current Controller Velocity Command.
If the Command Target Update element of the connection is not set to
‘Immediate’, the Ramp Generator in the Velocity Fine Command
Generator block shall have no impact on the Fine Velocity Command
signal.
When operating in Frequency Control mode, the Ramp Generator
function is integrated into the Frequency Control block diagram.

The Fine Command Generators can generate higher derivatives of the
Feedforward Signal command data input to serve as feedforward signals. The units for the
Selection velocity and acceleration feedforward signals are generally different than
the derivative units, hence the derivative signals are scaled
appropriately. Superior signal quality, however, can be provided by the
Motion Planner trajectory generators. The feedforward selection blocks
pick the best feedforward signal to apply based on the bits set in the
Command Data Set attribute. The best signal is defined as the signal
derived by using the fewest differencing operations.
The Fine command position is applied directly to the Position Control
loop without any of the typical de-referencing and offsets. It is assumed
that these operations are performed by the controller or device based
Motion Planner.
Feedforward signals are only applicable for Closed Loop Position and
Closed Loop Velocity Control Modes.

In general, motor torque is controlled by controlling the orientation and
Current Control Behavior magnitude of the motor stator current vector with respect to the rotor
magnetic flux vector. The Current control loop is responsible for
providing this control and is actually composed of two PI loops, one that
controls the torque producing current, Iq, and one that controls the flux
producing current, Id. It is the quadrature component of current, Iq, that is
used for dynamic Torque Control.
In the case of an induction motor, the flux producing current, Id, is solely
responsible for generating rotor flux. In the case of permanent magnet
motors, rotor flux is generated by the rotor magnets and Id is used only in
some cases to extend the speed range of the motor by changing the
angle of the stator field relative to the rotor field. In this case, the angle of
Iq relative to the rotor field remains the same, for example, at quadrature.
However, because the vector combination of Iq and Id determines the
stator flux angle relative to the rotor, increasing amounts of Id can shift
the stator flux away from quadrature to extend the speed range of the
motor at the expense of torque.
The following diagrams show an overview of this behavior model.

The Iq Current Command passes through a Current Vector Limiter
Current Vector Limiter before becoming the Iq Current Reference signal. This limiter computes
the combined vector magnitude of the Iq Current Reference and the Id
Current Reference signals. The resultant current vector magnitude is
compared to the Operative Current Limit that represents the minimum
current limit from among a set of potential current limits of the drive
device and motor.
If the vector magnitude exceeds the Operative Current Limit, the Iq
Current Reference is reduced so the vector magnitude equals the
Operative Current Limit. Potential current limit sources can be the Peak
Current Limit ratings as well as the Thermal Limits for the Motor and
Drive Inverter. Another possible limit source is the user-configurable
Current Vector Limit attribute.
Some of these limits are conditional and dynamic, such as the Motor and
Inverter Thermal Current Limits derived from the thermal models for
these devices. These limits are active only when the corresponding
Motor and Inverter Overload Action attributes are set to provide current
fold-back. The thermal current limits in this case would decrease as the
simulated temperature of the modeled devices increases. The Bus
Regulator Limit is applied only when the motor is regenerating power
onto the DC Bus and is based on the Regenerative Power Limit.
With all these potential current limit sources that could be operative, a
Current Limit Source attribute identifies the source of the active current
limit.

Voltage Output generate a voltage command to the vector transformation block. It is the
job of the vector transformation block to transform the torque producing,
Vq, and flux producing, Vd, command signals from the rotating
synchronous reference frame to the stationary stator reference frame.
The resultant U, V, and W Output Voltage values are then applied to the
motor by Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). The PWM Frequency is also a
configurable attribute.
The magnitude of the Vq, Vd vector is calculated in real time as the total
Output Voltage signal. The maximum Output Voltage signal that can be
applied to the motor is ultimately limited by the DC Bus Voltage and
enforced by the Voltage Vector Limiter. Any attempt to exceed this value
results in an Inverter Voltage Limit condition.

Current feedback signals to the current loop are provided by two or three
Current Feedback current sensors. The signals from these sensors are conditioned and
corrected for device specific offsets to become the U, V, and W Current
Feedback signals associated with the stationary motor stator frame.
These three signals are transformed back to the synchronous reference
frame to generate the Iq and Id Current Feedback signals. The
magnitude of the Iq, Id current vector is calculated in real-time and used
as an input to the thermal models for the inverter and motor.

Motor commutation is critical to closed loop motor control. The
Motor Commutation orientation of the motor rotor can be determined from a feedback source
mounted to the motor. The actual commutation source is the motor
feedback device assigned to Feedback 1 or, possibly, the redundant
feedback channel assigned to Feedback 1. Once the feedback device is
calibrated to the absolute orientation of the rotor by using the
Commutation Offset attribute, the commutation block can then generate
the true Electrical Angle of the rotor. This signal is used to perform the
vector transforms between the rotary and stationary motor frames and
can also be used for any other algorithms that require knowledge of rotor
position.

The Motion Device Axis Object defines a mechanism to capture both the
Event Input Sources feedback position and time stamp associated with specific state
transitions of selected event input sources. Event input sources currently
supported by the object are:

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 37

Chapter 2 Behavior models used in CIP Motion
• Registration 1
• Registration 2
• Marker
• Home Switch.
These event input sources apply to each supported feedback channel.

See also
Event Capture Behavior on page 36
To facilitate accurate capture of both feedback position and time,
Event Latches hardware event latches are typically implemented.
Two independent latches are defined for each registration input, one
latch to capture positive edge transition events and one to capture
negative edge transition events. This design enables capture of both
registration events in applications with narrow registration pulses where
the rising and falling edges occur nearly simultaneously.
In addition to the registration latches, a separate latch is also defined for
the home event capture. The home input event that triggers the Home
Event Latch can be any of a number of different combinations of home
switch and marker input events, for example, marker transitions, switch
transitions, or switch transitions followed by a marker transition.
With hardware-based event latches, event capture accuracy is, in
general, only limited by the latency of the associated event input.
Registration and Marker event inputs are lightly filtered so event capture
accuracy is on the order of 1 microsecond (µsec). In terms of position
capture accuracy, that would be calculated as the product of the event
capture accuracy and the speed of the axis. Home switch inputs are
heavily filtered, in general, and therefore limited to an event capture
accuracy of 1 to 10 millisecond (msec). Thus, to get an accurate position
capture based on a home switch input transition, a homing sequence with
a slow homing speed is required.

Event Capture Behavior on page 36
Because the registration time stamp is passed to the controller as part of
Event Time Stamps the Event Notification data, the controller can apply the event time stamp
to the position history of other axes in the system to interpolate their
positions. This is particularly useful in applications where it is necessary
to determine the location of several axes at the time of a single
registration event. The more accurate the time stamp, the more
accurately the controller can determine these positions.

The fault and alarm handling functionality addresses both the need for a
Fault and Alarm Behavior large and ever-expanding number of specific faults and alarms, the need
for programmable actions, and the need for timely reporting of those
faults and alarms to the controller. Additionally, no compromises are
made to restrict the resolution of the reported faults and alarms, so that
the controller always has access to the unique axis condition and a
meaningful diagnosis. Numerous Fault and Alarm related attributes can
be included in the fixed portion of the cyclic Device-to-Controller
Connection so the controller can monitor the condition of the axis in
real-time, without cumbersome polling.
The CIP Axis Status attribute contains bits to indicate whether an alarm
condition is present. The CIP Axis State enumeration indicates when the
axis has a major fault, which could be a regular runtime CIP Axis Fault,
Safety Fault, or an Initialization Fault. The Axis Fault Code and related
attributes are used to report the specific fault condition, time stamp, and
fault action to the controller for the purposes of building a fault log.

State Behavior on page 59
Exceptions on page 39

CIP Axis Status Attributes on page 340
Exception, Fault and Alarm Attributes on page 434
Exceptions are runtime conditions that the device continually checks that
Exceptions might indicate improper behavior of the axis or operation outside of an
allowable range. An exception can result in an alarm, a minor fault, or a
major fault, depending on how the associated Axis Exception Action has
been configured – an exception can even be configured to be ignored.
Exceptions are automatically cleared by the device when the underlying
exception condition is no longer present.

Exception Actions
For each exception, the motion axis can be programmed for a variety of
actions using the Exception Action attribute. Exception Actions range
from generating a major fault that results in the stopping of the axis all the
way to taking no action at all. The CIP Axis Faults attribute allows the
controller to have immediate access to any exceptions that have been
configured to generate a major or minor fault. The CIP Axis Alarms
attribute allows the controller to have immediate access to any
exceptions that have been configured to be reported as alarms.

Alarms
Alarms are runtime exception conditions for which the device is to take no
action other than to report as an alarm. Alarms and warnings, therefore,

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 39

Chapter 2 Behavior models used in CIP Motion
are basically synonymous. On a given device product, some exception
conditions may not be able to simply be reported as an alarm without any
associated action; for example an IPM fault in which the power module
automatically shuts off without software intervention. Alarm conditions
are automatically cleared when the underlying exception condition is no
longer present.

Faults
Faults can be initialization faults, configuration faults, safety faults,
module faults, group faults, motion faults, or runtime exception conditions
that the axis has been configured to regard as a fault. Fault conditions
can occur in either the controller or motion device. If a runtime fault
occurs during an operational state, for example, Running or Testing, it
will result in the device stopping (or aborting) all axis motion, either
automatically or programmatically. Fault conditions ultimately transition
the axis state to the Faulted state. A Fault that results from an exception
condition is latched, and does not clear when the exception condition
clears. A fault can only be cleared with a Fault Reset. If the fault condition
is classified as an 'unrecoverable fault', only a power cycle or a device
reset can clear the fault condition.

Start Inhibit Behavior

A Start Inhibit is a condition that inhibits the axis from starting, i.e.
transitioning to the Starting state for enabled axis operation. This
condition does not generate an exception if a start attempt is made. If the
circumstances that led to the Start Inhibit are no longer present, the start
inhibit condition is automatically cleared by the device, returning the axis
to the Stopped State.
If the axis is in the Start Inhibit state it indicates that one or more
conditions are present that prevent the axis from transitioning to enabled
operation. The Start Inhibits attribute reports the specific condition that is
inhibiting the axis.

Absolute Position Recovery (APR) provides support for establishing and
Absolute Position Recovery maintaining absolute position referenced to a specific machine,
commonly called the machine referenced absolute position or just
absolute position.
Absolute position is established by a homing procedure initiated by
successful execution of an MAH instruction. Once the homing procedure
has successfully established a machine reference, the Axis Homed bit is
set in the Motion Status attribute, indicating that actual position and

40 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 2 Behavior models used in CIP Motion
command position now have meaning with respect to the associated
machine.
It is good application programming practice to qualify dynamic machine
operation with the Axis Homed bit being set. Otherwise, absolute moves
to a specific position may not have any relationship to the position of the
axis on the actual machine.
Since the homing procedure usually requires the machine to be taken
offline and placed in a manual operating mode, for example, not making
product, anything that would require you to rehome one or more axes on
the machine is undesirable. This is downtime and costs money. The APR
feature maintains the machine reference or absolute position through
power cycles, program downloads, and even firmware updates.

Absolute Feedback Device

The absolute feedback device lets absolute position to be retained
through a power cycle. These devices take various forms, but they all are
capable of maintaining absolute feedback position while power to the
drive and to the feedback device is off.
When power is turned back on, the drive reads the feedback referenced
absolute position from the feedback device and, by applying a saved
absolute offset to this absolute feedback position, the motion control
system can recover the machine referenced absolute position.
Most drive products provide this capability. But what happens if the drive
is swapped out, or the drive firmware is updated? Absolute Position is
generally lost.
CIP Motion lets you recover the absolute position not only through power
cycles, but also program downloads, and even firmware updates.

SERCOS versus CIP

For a SERCOS axis with absolute feedback, the drive scaling function
and absolute position is maintained in the drive and therefore may be
easily restored in the control after a power cycle or download of a new
project by simply reading the position from the drive.
By contrast, a CIP Motion axis supports controller based scaling where
absolute position is maintained in the controller’s firmware. Without the
work of the APR feature, absolute position would be lost after a power
cycle or project download.

APR Faults can be generated:

• During initial axis configuration.
• During operation
• When the system fails to recover the absolute position after a
power cycle, reset, or a reconnection.
APR faults are detected during these online scenarios.
• Initial configuration (download)
• Reconnection of the drive axis
• Change in any of the axis attributes which impacts the absolute
machine position.
When an APR fault occurs, the actual position of the axis is set to the
feedback reference position of the axis. The values are read from the
absolute encoder. This clears the axis homed status bit.
A download, restore from a CompactFlash card, a restore from a Secure
Digital Card, or a ControlFLASH firmware update after one of these
events causes the APR fault.
• Axis Configuration
• Attribute Changes
• Offline edits of the axis attributes or configuration does not
cause an APR fault until after download occurs.
• Online edits of certain attributes will result in an immediate APR
fault. Changing the axis feedback device or feedback polarity
without downloading the project will also generate an immediate
APR fault.
• Axis hardware change or malfunction
• Enabling certain axis features (for example, extended position
feedback) via drive firmware update.
• Axis hardware resource insufficiency
• Hardware resource insufficiencies are only detected during
download or ControlFLASH firmware update and will result in
an APR fault.
During axis configuration, the following checks are made:
1. Existing Axis?
2. Scaling Signature matches saved Scaling Signature?
3. Feedback Signature matches saved Feedback Signature?
If these three checks pass, generally absolute position is restored.
During operation, the system monitors the following conditions:
1. Feedback Integrity Status bit cleared?
2. Scaling Signature dependent attribute values changed by SSV?

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 43

Chapter 2 Behavior models used in CIP Motion
Changes to the following attributes do not impact the Scaling Signature
or result in the loss of the absolute machine reference and therefore do
not generate an APR Fault.
• Conversion Constant
• Position Unwind
• Travel Mode
Care must be taken when changing these values that the new values are
rightly related to the Position Unit of the product and the mechanics of the
system. This is typically done as part of a product recipe change.
If the Axis Homed status bit is clear, indicating that position has not been
absolutely referenced to the machine, the APR function is bypassed and
there is no attempt to restore absolute position.

Fault Reset State Transition Precedence

When an axis is in the Major Faulted state, the axis may transition to one
of several different states in response to a Fault Reset event. Which state
the axis transitions to is dependent upon other state/status conditions of
the axis.
It is possible for more than one state condition to be present at the same
time, for example. Shutdown, Start Inhibited, and so forth. Since the axis
state model can only represent one state at any given time, the state of
the axis is determined according to the following precedence:

2. Shutdown
3. Pre-Charge
4. Start Inhibited
5. Stopped

The Motor Attributes define the minimal set of required attributes to
Motor Attributes Model support CIP Motion device interchangeability. This guarantees that there
is sufficient parametric data provided by the controller for any CIP Motion
compliant device, for example, a drive, to effectively control a given
motor.
The Usage category for an attribute is based on the Motor Type. Where
needed, Required versus Optional is further differentiated by
abbreviations for PM (Permanent Magnet) and IM (Induction Motors). It is
implied that these motor attributes are applicable to all drive modes, F, P,
V, and T, but not applicable for the No Control axis configurations where
there is no active motor control function.
For induction motors, the Motion Control Axis leverages the IEEE
recommended phase-neutral equivalent circuit motor model based on
"Wye" configuration. Reactance values, X, are related to their
corresponding Inductance values, L, by X = ωL, where ω is the rated

In Position Control mode, the only operative Control Method supported is
Position Control Behavior Closed Loop servo control. When performing closed loop Position
Control, the device applies the Position Command signal output of the
Command Generator to the position loop summing junction. In addition to
the Position Command, a Position Trim input is provided that can be used
to provide an offset to the position loop. The classic PI control loop
generates a Position Loop Output signal to an inner velocity loop.

Feedback to the PI regulator can be derived from two different feedback
Position Feedback Selection channels. This flexibility allows the position loop to operate with either a
motor based feedback device that is typically attached to the Feedback 1
channel or a load-side feedback device that is connected to the
Feedback 2 channel. Which feedback source is used by the loop is
governed by the Feedback Mode attribute.
When the Feedback Mode calls for Dual Feedback operation, the
position loop utilizes the Feedback 2 channel and the velocity loop uses
the Feedback 1 channel. Since the two feedback channels may not have
the same feedback resolution, it is necessary to convert position loop
output from Feedback 1 units to Feedback 2 units prior to applying the
output to the velocity loop summing junction. This is done by scaling the
position loop output using the Feedback Unit Ratio.

The Proportional Gain of the classic proportional-integral (PI) controller
Position PI Gains sets the unity gain bandwidth of the position loop in radians/second,
while the Integral Gain is used to devise the Position Error signal to zero
to compensate for the effect of any static and quasi-static torque or forces
applied to the load.

The inner velocity loop requires a non-zero command input to generate
Velocity Feedforward steady-state axis motor velocity. To provide the non-zero output from the
device to the motor, a non-zero position loop output is required, which
translates to a non-zero position error.
This dynamic error between command position and actual position while
moving is often called "following error". Most closed loop motion control
applications require zero following error all of the time. This could be
achieved to some extent through use of the position integral gain control,
but typically the response time of the integrator action is too slow to be
effective in high-performance motion control applications. An alternative
approach that has superior dynamic response is to use Velocity
Feedforward.
The Velocity Feedforward feature is used in Position Control mode to
provide the bulk of the Velocity Reference input necessary to generate
the desired motor velocity. It does this by scaling the Fine Velocity
Command signal output of the Command Generator by the Velocity
Feedforward Gain and adding the resultant Velocity Feedforward
Command signal to the Position Loop Output generated by the position
loop to form the Velocity Reference signal. With this feature, the position
loop does not need to generate much effort to produce the required
velocity command level, hence the Position Error value is significantly
reduced. The Velocity Feedforward Command signal allows the following
error of the position control loop to be reduced to nearly zero when
running at a constant velocity. This is important in applications such as
electronic gearing and synchronization applications where it is necessary
that the actual axis position not significantly lag behind the commanded
position at any time.
Theoretically, the optimal value for Velocity Feedforward Gain is 100%.
In reality, however, the value may need to be adjusted to accommodate
velocity loops with finite loop gain. One thing that may force a smaller
Velocity Feedforward value is that increasing amounts of feedforward
tend to exacerbate axis overshoot. For this reason feedforward is not
recommended for point-to-point positioning applications.

Position Loop Output Filters This filter can be used in the lead configuration to boost position loop
bandwidth and increase the stiffness, for example, the ability to resist
dynamic load disturbances.

In this equation, Kn represents the Lead-Lag Filter Gain, or high

frequency gain of the filter (the low frequency gain is always 1), and wn
represents the Lead-Lag Filter Bandwidth associated with the pole of the
filter:
• If Kn > 1, the filter provides lead compensation.
• If Kn < 1, the filter provides lag compensation.
• If Kn = 0 the lead-lag filter becomes a pure low pass filter.
• If Kn = 1, the filter is disabled.
Finally, a notch filter is included that has been shown to be effective in
solving certain types mechanical compliance problems. The equation for
this filter is as follows:

In this equation, Q represents the sharpness of the notch, and A

represents the attenuation depth of the notch. In most implementations,
the sharpness, Q, and the attenuation depth, A, are hard-coded in the
device. In PowerFlex drives the value of Q is 0.62 and the depth is set to
30.

The Motion Control Axis state model includes the following the states
State Behavior and state transitions.

Off State
This is the state of the Motion Control Axis with power off.

Self Test State

When power is applied to the controller, the controller typically goes
through a series of self-test diagnostics. These tests include checking
whether the CIP Motion axis is associated with an actual CIP Motion
device and that the axis is also properly included in a collection of axes
called a Motion Group. All axes in the Motion Group are processed
synchronously by the controller's Motion Task.

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 59

Chapter 2 Behavior models used in CIP Motion
If an associated CIP Motion device or Motion Group is not found for the
axis, the axis state in the controller reflects this condition as No Device,
and Not Grouped, respectively. The axis will remain in this state until the
problem is corrected. Similarly, when power is applied to the device, or
the device is reset, the device also goes through a series of self-test
diagnostics and internal device parameters are set to their power-up
default values. If unsuccessful, the impacted axis instances transition
immediately to the Faulted state by declaring an Initialization Fault that is
classified as Un-recoverable according to the terminology defined by the
Identify Object. Clearing this fault can only be accomplished through a
power cycle and is most likely the result of a device hardware problem.
Once these self tests have been completed successfully by the CIP
Motion controller and the associated CIP Motion device, the axis state
transitions to the Initializing state where CIP Motion connections are
created and the devices are configured by the controller. From this point
on, the Axis State value in the controller is influenced by the Axis State
value in the device using the CIP Motion connection.
If the CIP Motion device supports stand-alone operation under local
control with local configuration data, the device is free to transition from
the Self-test state to the Pre-Charge state and on to the Stopped state.
Should the device receive a subsequent Forward Open service to open a
CIP Motion connection, the device will disable all axes and transition
back to the Initializing state, following the state sequence outlined below.
If the device does not support stand-alone operation and depends on
remote configuration data to be supplied over a CIP Motion connection,
the device will transition to the Initializing state and wait (Standby) for the
Forward Open service from the controller to open the CIP Motion
Connection.

Initializing State
From the controller's perspective the Initializing state shown in the state
models consists of 4 different axis sub-states, Unconnected, Configuring,
Synchronizing, and Waiting for Group. While transitioning through these
Initializing sub-states, the controller has no access to current Axis State
value in the drive. Only after the controller's CIP Axis State completes the
Initialization process, does the CIP Axis State value reflect the current
Axis State attribute value in the CIP Motion device.
During the Initializing state, the device waits for the CIP Motion
connections to the device to be established by the controller using a
Forward Open service. Once the Forward Open service is successfully
processed, the device initializes all attributes to their factory default
values, resets all active faults, resets applicable axis status conditions
including the shutdown bit, in preparation for device attribute
configuration.
Once connections are established, the controller sends Set services to
the device to set the Motion Device Axis Object configuration attributes to
values stored in the controller. Any configuration error encountered
during this process, such as "value out of range" or "value not
applicable", are handled by the device by erring the Set service

60 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 2 Behavior models used in CIP Motion
response. When the CIP Motion device is connected to one or more
intelligent motor and feedback components that contain non-volatile
configuration data associated with the component, this data will be read
by the device prior to responding to related Set services from the
controller. This allows the device the opportunity to validate the
controller's motor and feedback related configuration data against the
configuration data stored in the motor or feedback component. Any
validation error encountered during this process will be handled by erring
the Set service response with an "Invalid Attribute Value" code (09).
Finally, reading the intelligent component data prior to completing the
configuration process also allows the serial number of the component to
be read by the controller to determine if the component has been
replaced. The controller does not complete the configuration process
(Configuration Complete) until all configuration attributes have been
successfully acknowledged.
If the device supports synchronous operation, the controller then
synchronizes with the device using the Group_Sync service. If the device
has already been successfully configured, the CIP Axis State transitions
to "Synchronizing" until it receives a successful Group_Sync service
response.
After the device is fully configured and synchronized with the controller,
the controller checks all other axes in the Motion Group to determine if
they are also configured and synchronized. During this time, the CIP Axis
State is "Waiting for Group". As soon as the controller determines that all
axes in the Motion Group are configured and synchronized, Initialization
is complete and the CIP Axis State value is thereafter derived directly
from the Axis State value of the device in accordance to the state model
defined in the Motion Device Axis Object.
If a problem is found during this initialization process, for example, a
process that is beyond the scope of a Set service error, the device
generates an Initialization Fault. An Initialization Fault is viewed as an
unrecoverable fault, only a power cycle or a device reset can clear the
fault condition.
If the CIP Motion connection is intentionally closed for any reason during
operation using a Forward Close service, the device clears all active
faults and returns to the Initializing State. If the CIP Motion connection is
lost for any other reason during operation, the device generates a Node
Fault and transitions to the Major Faulted state. In either case the device
will wait for the CIP Motion connections to the device to be re-established
by the controller using a Forward Open service. Once re-established the
controller's CIP Axis State will transition through the various Initialization
sub-states.
The Initializing State is classified as an Identity Object Standby state and,
therefore, requires that the associated power structure, if applicable, is
disabled.

Pre-Charge State
The DC Bus Up status is false for an axis in the Pre-Charge state. A Bus
Up event is one event that transitions the axis out of the Pre-Charge

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 61

Chapter 2 Behavior models used in CIP Motion
State to the Stopped state (drive axis or regenerative converter axis) or to
the Running state (non-regenerative converter axis). A Bus Up event
occurs when the DC Bus Up status changes from false to true. The
device’s power structure is always disabled in Pre-Charge state (Power
Structure Enabled status bit clear). Any attempt for the controller to
enable the axis via the Axis Control mechanism while it is in the
Pre-Charge state is reported back to the controller as an error in the
Response Status and the axis remains in the Pre-Charge state.
The Pre-Charge State is classified as an Identity Object Standby state
and, therefore, requires that the associated power structure, if applicable,
is disabled.

Stopped State
In the Stopped state the device's power structure will either be disabled
(Power Structure Enabled status bit clear) or, in the case of a drive axis,
held in a static condition using an active control loop (Power Structure
Enabled status bit set). No motion can be initiated by a drive axis in the
Stopped State nor can a drive axis respond to a planner generated
command reference (Tracking Command status bit clear). In general, the
motor associated with the drive axis will be at rest, but if an external force
or torque is applied to the load, a brake may be needed to maintain the
rest condition. Similarly, no AC Line modulation can be applied by a
regenerative converter axis in the Stopped state, nor can any
regenerative energy be transferred to the AC Line. In the Stopped state,
main power is applied to the device and the DC Bus is at an operational
voltage level. If there are any Start Inhibit conditions detected while in this
state, the axis transitions to the Start Inhibited state. If an Enable request
or one of the Run Test service requests is applied to an axis in the
Stopped state, the axis transitions to the Starting state.

Starting State
When an Enable request is given to an axis in the Stopped, or Stopping
state when performing a drive Flying Start, the axis immediately
transitions to the Starting state. In this state, the device checks various
conditions before transitioning to the Running state. These conditions for
a drive axis can include Brake Release delay time and Induction Motor
flux level. The device control and power structures are activated during
the Starting state (Power Structure Enabled status bit set) but the
command reference is set to a local static value and will not track the
command reference derived from the controller (Tracking Command
status bit clear). If all the starting conditions are met, the axis state
transitions to either the Running state or the Testing state.

Running State
The Running state is where the work gets done. In this state, the device’s
power structure is active (Power Structure Enabled status bit set). In the
case of a drive axis, the selected Control Mode is enabled and the device

62 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 2 Behavior models used in CIP Motion
is actively tracking command data from the controller based motion
planner output to affect axis motion (Tracking Command status bit set).
In the case of a regenerative converter axis, the Converter Control Mode
is enabled and the device is actively tracking the Voltage or Current set
point value from the controller (Tracking Command status bit set). In the
case of a track section axis, the section axis is actively tracking the
current references for resident movers (Tracking Command status bit
set). The axis remains in the Running state until either a fault occurs or it
is explicitly commanded to stop via an Axis Control request.
In the case of an axis with no active control function (Control Mode = No
Control), the Running state simply indicates that the device is fully
operational. Since there is no active control function, however, the Power
Structure Enabled status bit and the Tracking Command status bit are
both clear. The axis remains in the Running state until either a fault
occurs or it is explicitly commanded to Shutdown via an Axis Control
request.

Testing State
When any one of the Run Test request services is sent to the axis while in
the Stopped state, for example, services that require an active power
structure to execute, the axis immediately transitions to the Starting State
(Power Structure Enabled status bit set), and then once the Starting
conditions are met, the axis transitions to the Testing state. This Testing
state is like the Running state in that the device's power structure is
active, but in the Testing state one of the device's built-in test algorithms
is controlling the motor (drive) or line energy flow (regenerative
converter), not command or set point data from the controller (Tracking
Command status bit clear). In the Testing state a drive excites the motor
in various ways while performing measurements to determine
characteristics of the motor and load. Similarly a regenerative converter
device applies current in various way to determine characteristics of the
AC line and DC bus. The drive or converter axis remains in this state for
the duration of the requested test procedure and then stops and returns
to the Stopped state. The axis can also exit the Testing state by either a
fault or an explicit Axis Control request. In all these exit cases, a drive
executes a Category 0 Stopping Sequence.

Start Inhibited State

The Start Inhibited state is the same as the Stopped state with the
exception that the axis has one or more 'start inhibit' conditions that
prevent it from successfully transitioning to the Starting state. These
conditions can be found in the Start Inhibits attributes. Once corrected,
the axis state automatically transitions back to the Stopped state.
For an axis with no active control function (Control Mode = No Control),
an axis in the Start Inhibited state is prevented from transitioning to the
Running state by one or more specific conditions, such as when the
associated feedback device is not fully configured for operation. Again,

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 63

Chapter 2 Behavior models used in CIP Motion
once corrected, the axis state automatically transitions to the Running
state.
The Start Inhibited State is classified as an Identity Object Standby state
and, therefore, requires that the associated power structure, if applicable,
is disabled.

Stopping State
When a Disable request is issued to the Motion Device Axis Object in the
Starting, Running or the Testing states, the axis immediately transitions
to the Stopping state. In this state, the axis is in the process of stopping
and is no longer tracking command or set point data from the controller
(Tracking Command status bit clear). For a drive axis, a Disable Request
executes the configured Stopping Actions while a Shutdown Request
executes the configured Shutdown Action.
There are many different Stopping Actions supported by the Motion
Device Axis Object for a drive axis. Each of these Stopping Actions
executes one of three possible IEC60204-1 Category Stops or Stopping
Sequences (Category Stop 0, 1, and 2). Most of these Stopping Actions
actively decelerate the axis to a stop (Category Stop 1 and 2). The power
structure may remain active (Power Structure Enabled status bit set) as
long as the Stopping Action procedure takes to complete. Once the
selected Stopping Action procedure has completed, the axis transitions
to the Stopped state. When the Stopping Action of "Disable and Coast" is
initiated by a Disable Request or a Shutdown Action, the power structure
is immediately disabled (Power Structure Enabled status bit clear) and
the axis coasts to a stop while in the Stopping state (Category 0 Stop).
For all Stopping Sequences, the device will wait until the axis has
reached zero speed, or a timeout occurs (as defined by the Stopping
Time Limit and Coasting Time Limit attributes), before transitioning to the
Stopped state. In some cases, such as when the axis is stationary, this
transition can be immediate. The criteria for zero speed is based on
Velocity Feedback being less than 1% of motor rated speed or by criteria
set by optional Zero Speed and Zero Speed Time attribute values. In the
case of a Frequency Control drive device, the criteria are based on
Velocity Reference rather than Velocity Feedback.
When an Enable Request is given to a drive axis in the Stopping state
with Flying Start Enabled, the axis will immediately transition to the
Starting state.

Aborting State
When a Major Fault occurs in the motion device while the axis is in either
the Starting, Running, Testing, or Stopping states, the axis immediately
transitions to the Aborting state. In this state, the axis is in the process of
stopping and is no longer tracking command or set point data from the
controller (Tracking Command status bit clear).
For a drive axis, a Major Fault executes the appropriate stopping action
as specified by the device vendor. When actively stopping the drive axis
in the Aborting state, the power structure remains active (Power

64 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 2 Behavior models used in CIP Motion
Structure Enabled status bit set) as long as the stopping action takes to
complete. In some cases, the power structure must be immediately
disabled so the axis may coast to a stop while in the Aborting state. In any
case, the drive axis will wait until the axis has reached zero speed before
transitioning to the Major Faulted state. Once the stopping procedure is
complete and the axis has reached zero speed, the axis transitions to the
Faulted state. The criteria for zero speed is based on Velocity Feedback
being less than 1% of motor rated speed or by criteria set by optional
Zero Speed and Zero Speed Time attribute values. In the case of a
Frequency Control drive axis, Velocity Reference is used rather than
Velocity Feedback. In some cases, such as when the axis is stationary,
this transition can be immediate.
When faults conditions are detected in the controller that are not visible to
the motion device, or when the motion device reports a Minor Fault
condition, the controller is responsible for bringing the axis to a stop,
either directly using an Axis Control state change request or, in the case
of a drive axis, directly by a motion planner stop, or indirectly using a fault
handler in the user program. If the Axis State reported by the motion
device is Stopping, then the controller sets the CIP Axis State to Aborting
based on the presence of the fault condition.
When an Abort Request is issued to the Motion Device Axis Object a
Controller Initiated Exception is generated. If the associated Axis
Exception Action is set to generate a Major Fault the drive axis stops the
axis according to the configured Stopping Action before transitioning to
the Faulted state.

Faulted State
The Motion Device Axis Object defines a Major Faulted state that is
identical to the Stopped state (or, if a Shutdown fault action was initiated,
the Shutdown state) with the exception that there are one or more Faults
active. In other words, a Major Faulted axis is a Stopped (or Shutdown)
axis with a Major Fault condition present. The Motion Device Axis Object
also defines a Minor Fault as a fault that allows device operation to
continue and does not impact the Axis State in the motion device.
There is no such distinction between Major Fault and Minor Fault in the
controller; both Major Faults and Minor Faults reported by the drive result
in the axis transitioning to the Faulted state in the controller. Thus, in the
controller it is not generally true that a Faulted axis is a Stopped (or
Shutdown) axis with a Fault condition present. When the motion device
reports a Minor Fault condition, or when fault conditions are detected in
the controller that are not visible to the motion device, the controller is
responsible for bringing the axis to a stop, either directly using an Axis
Control state change request or motion planner stop, or indirectly using a
fault handler in the user program. Until this is done, the Axis State in the
motion device may be something other than the Major Faulted state,
perhaps even in the Running state. This is reasonable given that the
motion device is only one component in a much bigger motion control
system. The CIP Motion controller is responsible for rolling up all the
conditions of the system into the Axis State that is presented to you.

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 65

Chapter 2 Behavior models used in CIP Motion
Since faults are latched conditions, a Fault Reset is required to clear the
faults and, assuming the original fault condition has been removed, the
axis transitions to the Axis State of motion device. There are many
different sources of Faults: CIP Initialization Faults, CIP Axis Faults,
Motion Faults, Module Faults, Group Faults, Safety Faults, and
Configuration Faults. The following table describes the sources of these
faults:
Fault Source
CIP Initialization Faults These faults can only occur during the Initializing state. You cannot generate an
Initialization fault in any other state of the drive, for example, faults occurring
during operation of the drive after transitioning out of the Initializing state.
Initialization Faults can apply to a specific axis or to the entire drive, in which
case all device axis instances would indicate the Initialization Fault. The device
power structure, if applicable, is disabled when there is a CIP Initialization Fault
present.
CIP Axis Faults As the name implies, CIP Axis Faults apply to a specific device axis instances.
CIP Axis Faults are the direct result of Axis Exceptions that are configured to
generate a Fault response. These exception conditions may apply to individual
axis instances or to all axis instances. In any case, applications may require the
device be configured to handle these exceptions differently for different axes.
Run time conditions related to Motor, Inverter, Converter, Bus Regulator, and
Feedback components, in general, shall be handled as Axis Exceptions. The
power structure if applicable, may or may not be disabled when there is a CIP
Axis Fault present depending on the specific stopping action applied by the
device in response to the fault condition.
Axis Safety Faults Axis Safety Faults also apply to specific axis instances. Axis Safety Faults are the
direct results of safety faults reported by the embedded Safety Core of the
device when Safety Fault Action is configured to generate a Fault response. The
Safety Core of the device is responsible for monitoring the condition of various
critical safety functions associated with the axis. This embedded Safety Core
has a CIP Safety connection to an external Safety Controller. When an Axis
Safety Fault occurs, the safety system is responsible for forcing the axis into a
Safe State.
Guard Faults These faults also apply to a specific axis instance. Guard Faults are generated
by a fault condition detected in the drive's "Hardwired" safety monitor
functionality (SMSC). This component of the drive is designed to monitor various
critical safety functions of the drive and put the axis in a safe state if any
monitored condition fails to operate nominally.
Motion Faults These faults are generally associated with fault conditions generated by the
motion planner function. These faults can include conditions related to the
input (for example, actual position) and output (command position) signals to
the motion planner. The device power structure, if applicable, may or may not
be disabled when there is a Motion Fault present depending on the specific
stopping action applied by the system in response to the fault condition.
Module Faults These faults apply to the entire motion device and affect all axes associated
with that device. These faults can occur at any time during device operation.
Module Faults include all Node Faults reported by the device, which are primarily
communication faults, but can include general hardware faults where these
fault conditions are checked during run-time. A CPU watchdog fault would be an
example of a hardware CIP Node Fault. Module Faults also include
communication fault conditions detected on the controller side of the motion
connection. An example of a controller side Module Fault would be the Control
Sync Fault. The device power structure, if applicable, is disabled when there is a
Module Fault present with the controller initiating the equivalent of a shutdown
fault action.

 Chapter 2 Behavior models used in CIP Motion
Fault Source
Group Faults These faults are related to the motion group object function and affect all axes
associated with the motion group. These faults can occur at any time during
device operation. Group Fault conditions are detected by controller and are
generally associated with the time synchronization function that is common to
all axes in the motion group. The device power structure, if applicable, of every
axis associated with the motion group is disabled when there is a Group Fault
present with the controller initiating shutdown fault actions.
Configuration Faults A configuration fault is generated anytime there is an error in sending
configuration data to the motion device. Specifically, if the motion device
responds to a Set Attribute service with an error, the error condition is reflected
as a Configuration Fault along with the Attribute Error Code and Attribute ID. The
device power structure, if applicable, is disabled when there is a Configuration
Fault present.

Shutdown State
When a Shutdown request is issued to the device or a Shutdown fault
action is executed by the device, the targeted axis transitions to the
Shutdown state. In the case of a Shutdown request, the axis immediately
transitions from whatever state it is currently in to the Shutdown state.
The Shutdown state has the same basic characteristics of the Stopped
state except that it can be configured using the Shutdown Action attribute
to drop the DC Bus power to the device's power structure. This is
generally done by opening an AC Contactor Enable output provided by
the drive that controls power to the converter. Regardless of whether or
not DC Bus power is disconnected, this state requires an explicit
Shutdown Reset request from the controller to transition to the
Pre-Charge state. If the device is configured to keep the DC Bus power
active while in the Shutdown state then the axis transitions through the
Pre-Charge state to the Stopped state. The Shutdown state offers an
extra level of safety against unexpected motion.
In the case where a Shutdown fault action is initiated by the drive in
response to an exception condition that is configured to be a Major Fault,
the device executes the Shutdown action, but the axis goes to the
Faulted state, not the Shutdown state. Similarly, when the axis is in the
Shutdown state and a major fault condition occurs, the axis transitions to
the Faulted state. In other words, the major fault condition has
precedence over the shutdown condition and the shutdown condition can
be considered a sub-state. In either of these cases a Fault Reset request
from the controller clears the fault and, assuming the original fault
condition has been removed, the axis then transitions to the Shutdown
state. A Shutdown Reset request from the controller, however, both
clears the fault and performs a shutdown reset so, assuming the original
fault condition has been removed, the axis transitions to the Pre-Charge
state as described above.
In addition to the Shutdown action functionality, the Shutdown state can
also be used by the controller to disable any slave gearing or camming
motion planner functions that reference this device axis as a master axis.
For this reason, the Shutdown state is supported in the case of a
Feedback Only Control Mode where the axis instance is simply
associated with a feedback device.

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 67

Chapter 2 Behavior models used in CIP Motion
The Shutdown State is classified as an Identity Object Standby state and,
therefore, requires that the associated power structure, if applicable, is
disabled.

No Device State
If the CIP Motion axis instance in the controller is created, but not
currently associated with a CIP Motion device, the axis state indicates the
No Device state. A CIP Motion axis will be associated with a physical CIP
Motion device to function. This condition is checked during the controller
Self Test state as qualification for transition to the Initializing state. For
this reason the No Device state is considered a controller only sub-state
of the Self Test state.

Not Grouped State

If a CIP Motion axis instance is created and not associated with a Motion
Group, the axis state is set to the Not Grouped state. A CIP Motion axis
will be assigned to a Motion Group in order for the axis instance to be
updated by the periodic Motion Task and carry out its function. This
condition is checked during the controller Self Test state as qualification
for transition to the Initializing state. For this reason, the Not Grouped
state is considered a controller only sub-state of the Self Test state.

Axis Inhibited State

If you Inhibit the axis instance for any reason, the associated instance in
the CIP Motion connection is eliminated and the axis state transitions to
the Axis Inhibited state. If this is the only instance supported by the CIP
Motion connection, the connection itself will be closed. The Axis Inhibited
state is a controller only sub state of the Self Test state. The Axis
Inhibited condition is checked during the controller Self Test state as
qualification for transition to the Initializing state. If currently Axis
Inhibited, an Un-Inhibit operation will be performed by you to transition to
the Initializing state and restore axis function.

Configuring State
Once a CIP Motion I/O connection has been made to the device, the
controller begins to send configuration data using the connection's
service channel. At this time the axis state transitions from Unconnected
to Configuring. The axis state will remain in the Configuring state until the
values of all applicable configuration attributes in the device have been
set for this axis instance, or until a configuration fault occurs, in which
case the axis state transitions to the Faulted state.

68 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 2 Behavior models used in CIP Motion

Synchronizing State
If the device has not been synchronized to the controller by the time the
controller has completed the axis configuration process, the axis state
transitions to the Synchronizing state. The axis state will remain in the
Synchronizing state until the device has been successfully synchronized
as indicated by a successful Group_Sync service response from the
device, or a time limit (~60 seconds) is reached, in which case the
controller closes the connection and starts the Initialization process over
again.

Waiting for Group State

After configuring the axis and synchronizing the device to the controller,
the controller checks the status of all other axes in the Motion Group. If
there are any other axes in the Motion Group that are still being
configured or synchronized, the Axis State will transition to Waiting for
Group. Cyclic data exchange over the CIP Motion connection does not
occur until all axes in the Motion Group are configured and synchronized.
Once all axes in the Motion Group are configured and synchronized, the
CIP Axis State transitions to the current Axis State attribute value in the
device, typically Pre-Charge or Stopped.

Torque is generally proportional to acceleration and to the torque
Torque Control Behavior producing motor current, Iq. The purpose of the Torque Control structure
is to combine input signals to create a Torque Reference. The Torque
Reference, from a variety of sources, is based on the Control Mode. It
applies various filters and compensation algorithms to the Torque
Reference to create a Filtered Torque Reference.
The Filtered Torque Reference signal is scaled by the reciprocal of the
torque constant, Kt, of the motor to become the Iq Current Command
input to the current loop. Because the motor current is also per unitized to
the '% Rated' current of the motor, the torque constant, Kt, is nominally 1.
In other words, in general it is assumed that 100% rated current produces
100% rated torque.

The Torque Control model can take input from a variety of sources
Torque Input Sources depending on the Control Mode. Input to the Torque Reference path can
come through the cyclic Torque Command or Torque Trim signal in
Torque Control mode. In Position or Velocity Control mode, torque input
is derived from the outer velocity loop or acceleration loop by bringing in
the resulting acceleration signals and scaling these signals into
equivalent torque.

Acceleration to Torque Scaling

Because the acceleration input signals into the Torque Control section
are expressed in units of acceleration, a scaling factor, Kj, is needed to
convert acceleration units to torque % Rated Torque units. This scaling
factor, when properly configured, represents the total System Inertia or
mass of the system that includes the motor and the load and has the
effect of canceling the effects the system inertia/mass has on control loop
response and loop gain settings.
Because the torque units are expressed as % of Rated Torque of the
motor, the units for the System Inertia attribute are % Rated per Motor
Units/Sec2.

70 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 2 Behavior models used in CIP Motion
The acceleration units can be expressed in Feedback 1 or Feedback 2
Units based on the Feedback Mode setting. Therefore, in the case where
Feedback 2 applies, the acceleration signal needs to be scaled by the
Feedback Unit Ratio as shown by the Unit Ratio.

Torque Control Behavior on page 69
Inertia Compensation on page 71
Inertia compensation features are included in the Torque Control
Inertia Compensation behavior model.

Backlash Compensation
Backlash Compensation is used to stabilize the device control loop
behavior in applications with high load inertia ratios and mechanical
backlash.
The Backlash Compensation Window attribute is used to control the
Backlash Compensation feature. Mechanical backlash is a common
problem in applications that use mechanical gearboxes. The problem
stems from the fact that until the input gear is turned to the point where its
proximal tooth contacts an adjacent tooth of the output gear, the reflected
inertia of the output is not felt at the motor. In other words, when the gear
teeth are not engaged, the system inertia is reduced to the motor inertia.

If the Velocity Control loop is tuned for peak performance with the load
applied, the axis will be, at best, under-damped and, at worst, unstable in
the condition where the gear teeth are not engaged. In the worst case
scenario, the motor axis and the input gear oscillates wildly between the
limits imposed by the output gear teeth. The net effect is a loud buzzing
sound when the axis is at rest, commonly referred to as 'gearbox chatter'.
If this situation persists, the gearbox will wear out prematurely. To
prevent this condition, the conventional approach is to de-tune the
velocity loop so that the axis is stable without the gearbox load applied.
Unfortunately, system performance suffers.

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 71

Chapter 2 Behavior models used in CIP Motion
With a Backlash Stabilization Window value commensurate with the
amount of backlash in the mechanical system, the backlash stabilization
algorithm is very effective in eliminating backlash-induced instability
while still maintaining full system bandwidth. The key to this algorithm is a
tapered Kj profile that is a function of the position error of the position
loop, illustrated in the following diagram.

The reason for the tapered profile, as opposed to a step profile, is that
when the position error exceeds the backlash distance a step profile
would create a very large discontinuity in the torque output. This
repulsing torque tends to slam the axis back against the opposite gear
tooth and perpetuate the buzzing effect. The tapered profile can be
qualified to run only when the acceleration command or the velocity
command to the control loop structure is zero, for example, when not
commanding motion that would engage the teeth of the gearbox.
Properly configured with a suitable value for the Backlash Compensation
Window, this algorithm entirely eliminates the gearbox buzz without
sacrificing any servo performance. The Backlash Compensation Window
parameter determines the width of the window over which backlash
stabilization is applied. In general, this value is set equal to or greater
than the measured backlash distance. A Backlash Stabilization Window
value of zero effectively disables the feature.

Inertia Observer
The Inertia Observer, when enabled, monitors the acceleration of the
axis in relationship to the torque producing current command, Iq Current
Reference, and estimates the total motor inertia.
The Total Inertia Estimate for the Inertia Observer is fed back to the Kj
gain to provide automatic gain control (AGC) with respect to load inertia.
This feature can be used to compensate for inertia variation without
compromising system performance. The Inertia Observer works on the
premise that the motor and load are not subject to externally applied
torques or forces that could impact the acceleration of the load. By
contrast, the Load Observer in the Acceleration Control behavior model
works on the premise that changes in acceleration are due to externally
applied torques/forces on the motor and load. Thus, the operation of

72 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 2 Behavior models used in CIP Motion
these two observers are mutually exclusive; they should not be enabled
at the same time.

See also
Friction Compensation on page 73
Torque Control Behavior on page 69
Friction Compensation applies a compensating directional torque or
Friction Compensation force to the motor to overcome the effects of friction in the mechanical
system, thus minimizing the amount of control effort required. Individual
attributes have been defined to support compensation for static friction,
sliding (Coulomb) friction, and viscous friction. A compensation window
attribute is also provided to mitigate motor dithering associated with
conventional friction compensation methods.

Static Friction Compensation

It is not unusual for an axis to have enough static friction, commonly
called “sticktion”, in position control applications that even with a
significant position error, the mechanical system refuses to budge. Of
course, position integral gain can be used to generate enough output to
the drive to correct the error, but this approach may not be responsive
enough for the application. An alternative is to use Static Friction
Compensation to break the sticktion in the presence of a non-zero
position error.
One method of doing this is by adding a fixed torque level, as determined
by the Static Friction Compensation attribute, to the Torque Reference
signal value based on its current sign. With this Torque Reference based
method, static friction compensation is only be applied when the axis is
static, that is, when there is no change in the position command. Using
this method, the Static Friction Compensation value is generally set just
under the value that would overcome the sticktion. A larger value results
in axis “dither”, a phenomena describing the rapid back and forth motion
of the axis, centered on the commanded position, as the friction
compensation function overcompensates for the sticktion.
To address this issue of dither when applying Static Friction
Compensation, an optional Friction Compensation Window can be
applied around the current command position when the axis is at rest. If
the actual position is within the Friction Compensation Window the Static
Friction Compensation value is applied to the motor as torque but scaled
by the ratio of the Position Error signal to the Friction Compensation
Window. Within the window, the position loop and velocity loop
integrators are disabled to avoid the hunting effect that occurs when the
integrators wind up. Thus, once the position error reaches or exceeds the
value of the Friction Compensation Window attribute, the full Static
Friction Compensation value is applied. A Non-zero Friction
Compensation Window has the effect of softening the application of
Static Friction Compensation torque to the motor, thereby allowing higher
values of Static Friction Compensation to be applied for improved
point-to-point positioning without dither. Of course, should the Friction

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 73

Chapter 2 Behavior models used in CIP Motion
Compensation Window be set to zero, this dither mitigation feature is
effectively disabled.
Another method for static friction compensation is to add the Static
Friction Compensation torque level to the Torque Reference signal
based on the sign and magnitude of the Velocity Reference signal. This
method is useful for high performance speed control and tracking
applications. With this Velocity Reference based method, static friction
compensation is applied when the Velocity Reference signal exceeds the
configured Friction Compensation Start Speed value. Once applied, the
Static Friction Compensation torque level is maintained for a period of
time set by the Friction Compensation Breakaway Time attribute to
provide the torque impulse needed to break sticktion. The Static Friction
Compensation torque level is then ramped down to the Sliding Friction
Compensation value at a vendor specific rate.
A third Friction Compensation method is defined that is based on the
Velocity Feedback signal rather than the Velocity Reference signal. This
method does not apply Static Friction Compensation but otherwise
applies Sliding Friction Compensation and Viscous Friction
Compensation in exactly the same way as the Velocity Reference
method. This method is useful for torque control applications.

Sliding Friction Compensation

Sliding friction or Coulomb friction, by definition, is the component of
friction that is independent of speed as long as the mechanical system is
moving. Sliding friction is always less than static friction for a given
mechanical system. The method of compensating for sliding friction is
basically the same as that for static friction, but the torque level added to
the Torque Reference is less than that applied to overcome static friction
and is determined by the Sliding Friction Compensation attribute. Sliding
Friction Compensation is applied only when the axis is being
commanded to move.

Viscous Friction Compensation

Viscous friction, by definition, is the component of friction that increases
linearly with the speed of the mechanical system. The method of
compensating for viscous friction is to multiply the configured Viscous
Friction Compensation value by the speed of the motor and apply the
result to the Torque Reference signal. Viscous Friction Compensation is
applied only when the axis is being commanded to move.
When using the Velocity Reference (or Velocity Feedback) method for
Friction Compensation, Viscous Friction Compensation is applied to the
Torque Reference when the Velocity Reference (or Velocity Feedback)
signal exceeds the configured Friction Compensation Start Speed value
and will continue to be applied until the Velocity Reference (or Velocity
Feedback) signal drops below the Friction Compensation Start Speed
minus the Friction Compensation Hysteresis value.

Torque Filters on page 75
Torque Control Behavior on page 69
The following filters can be applied to provide additional compensation
Torque filters and control to the torque value.

Lead-Lag Filter
A lead-lag filter is provided in the torque reference path.
Use the lead-lag filter in the:
• Lead configuration to boost velocity or acceleration loop
bandwidth
• Lag configuration for the high frequency gain boost that associates
with compliant load mechanics.

In this equation, Kn represents the Lead-Lag Filter Gain, or high

frequency gain of the filter (the low frequency gain is always 1), and wn
represents the Lead-Lag Filter Bandwidth associated with the pole of the
filter:
• If Kn > 1, the filter provides lead compensation.
• If Kn < 1, the filter provides lag compensation.
• If Kn = 0 the lead-lag filter becomes a pure low pass filter.
• If Kn = 1, the filter is disabled.
When used as a lag filter (Kn < 1), this filter can be effective in
compensating for the gain boosting effect of natural mechanical
resonance frequencies that are within the acceleration/velocity loop
bandwidth.

Low Pass Filter

The torque reference signal typically passes through a Torque Low Pass
Filter to attenuate the high frequency content of the signal. The Low Pass
Filter is effective in resonance control when the natural resonance
frequency is much higher (>5x) than the control loop bandwidth. This
filter works by reducing the amount of high-frequency energy in the
device output that excite the natural resonances. The Low Pass Filter
design can be single pole or multiple poles. Care shall be taken,
however, to limit the amount of phase lag introduced by this filter to the
control loop to avoid potential instability.

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 75

Chapter 2 Behavior models used in CIP Motion

Notch Filters
One or more Torque Notch Filters can also be applied to the torque
reference signal. Notch filters are effective in resonance control when the
natural resonance frequency is higher than the control loop bandwidth.
Like the low pass filter, the notch filters work by significantly reducing the
amount of energy in the device output that can excite the natural
resonances. Notch filters can be used even when the natural resonance
frequencies are relatively close to the control loop bandwidth. That is
because the phase lag introduced by the notch filters are localized
around the notch frequencies. For the notch filters to be effective, the
Notch Filter Frequency has to be set very close to the natural resonance
frequency of the load.
The following is an equation for the notch filter:

In this equation, Q represents the sharpness of the notch. In most

implementations, the sharpness, Q, is typically hard-coded in the device.
The attenuation depth of the notch filter is typically infinite.
For details on the Rockwell Automation specific implementation of
Torque Notch Filters, refer to the Torque Notch Filter Attributes.

Torque Limiters on page 76

After undergoing friction compensation and filtering the Torque
Torque Limiter Reference signal passes through a limiter to produce the Limited Torque
Reference signal. The Torque Limiter applies a torque limit to the signal
that is based on the sign of the torque reference signal input and the state
of the axis.
During normal operation it is the Torque Limit – Positive and Torque Limit
– Negative attributes, set by the user, that are applied to the torque
reference signal. When the axis is commanded to stop as part of a
disable request or major fault condition, the device applies the Stopping
Torque Limit.
Also included with the torque limiter is a built-in Torque Rate of Change
Limit. This feature limits the rate of change of the torque reference output.

The final result of all this torque signal filtering, compensation, and
Torque to Current Scaling limiting functionality is the Filtered Torque Reference signal. When the
signal is scaled by the reciprocal of the Torque Constant of the motor,
1/Kt, it becomes the torque producing Iq Current Command signal to the
current loop.
Ideally, the relationship between motor torque and motor current is
independent of position, time, current, and environmental conditions, the
1/Kt scaling has a nominal value of 1, so that 100% rated torque
translates to 100% rated current. In practice, this may not be the case.
Compensation can be applied to the 1/Kt value to address these issues
at the drive vendors' discretion.

Cogging Compensation
For PM motors, one of the more troublesome Kt variations to contend
with is a position dependent variation to Kt known as motor cogging. The
Kt scaling factor can be used to compensate for motor cogging by
performing a test on the motor that generates a Kt versus Electrical Angle
Cogging Compensation table. This table can then be used to
compensate for the cogging impact in real- time based on the electrical
angle of the motor resulting in smoother motor operation.

Torque Estimate
CIP Motion supports a generalized Torque Estimator block used to the
Torque Estimate signal that represents the torque, or force, applied by
the motor. This estimate is based on vendor specific algorithms that
determine motor torque, or force, from various motor related input and
output signals. An optional Torque Estimate Crossover Speed
configuration attribute allows different algorithms to be applied to
estimate torque for low speed and high speed operation.
The Torque Estimator output signal is passed through two 2nd order
notch filters. These filters can be configured to provide low pass, high
pass, notch, or band pass filtering to the Torque Estimate signal.

The Closed Loop Velocity Control method is targeted for applications
Closed Loop Velocity that require tight speed regulation. The command input to the velocity
Control loop can be derived directly from the Velocity Command of the
Command Generator when configured for Velocity Control Mode or from
the Position Loop Output when configured for Position Control Mode.
When serving as an outer velocity loop in Velocity Control Mode, the
device applies the Velocity Command input to the velocity command
summing junction to generate the Velocity Reference signal into a PI
regulator. Contributing to the velocity command summing junction also is
the Velocity Trim input, which can be used in conjunction with an outer
control loop to make minor adjustments to the velocity of the motor.
When serving as an inner velocity loop in Position Control Mode, the
device applies the Position Loop Output signal to the input of the velocity

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 79

Chapter 2 Behavior models used in CIP Motion
command summing junction. Input signals that are not applicable to the
configured control mode are generally set to zero.

Velocity Limiter
The output of the velocity command summing junction signal passes
through a limiter to produce the Velocity Reference signal into the
velocity loop. The Velocity Limiter applies a directional velocity limit,
either Velocity Limit - Pos or Velocity Limit - Neg, to the velocity
command signal input that is based on the sign.

Velocity Feedback Selection

Feedback to the PI regulator can be derived from either of the two
available feedback transducers, Feedback 1 or Feedback 2. Which
feedback source is used by the loop is governed by the Feedback Mode
enumeration. If Feedback Mode is No Feedback, indicating sensorless
operation, the Velocity Feedback signal is estimated by the Sensorless
Velocity signal generated by the sensorless control algorithm. If an
optional Load Observer is configured for Velocity Estimate operation, the
Velocity Feedback signal is the Load Observer Velocity Estimate.

Velocity Error Filter

A low pass filter can be optionally applied to the velocity error signal
generated by the velocity loop summing junction. The output of this filter
becomes the Velocity Error signal that is subsequently operated on by
the velocity loop PI control algorithm. When used, the filter is typically set
between 5 to 10 times the velocity loop bandwidth. It is recommended
that this filter be a two pole IIR filter to maximum its effectiveness at
quantization noise filtering.

Velocity Gains
The velocity loop generates a Velocity Loop Output signal to the next
inner loop through a PI control loop structure. The Proportional Gain of
the controller sets the unity gain bandwidth of the velocity loop in
radians/second, while the Integral Gain is used to drive the Velocity Error
signal to zero to compensate for any static and quasi-static torque or
forces applied to the load. The integrator path includes a Proportional
Gain so that units of the Integral Gain represent the bandwidth of the
integrator in radians/second.
The integral section of the velocity regulator includes an anti-windup
feature. The anti-windup feature automatically holds the regulator's
integral term when a limit condition is reached in the forward path. The
anti-windup feature is conditioned by the arithmetic sign of the
integrator's input. The integrator is held when the input's sign is such that
the integrator output moves further into the active limit. In other words,

80 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 2 Behavior models used in CIP Motion
the integrator is allowed to operate (not held) when the input would tend
to bring the integrator output value off the active limit.
The integrator may also be configured for integrator hold operation.
When the Integrator Hold attribute is set true, the regulator holds the
integrator from accumulating while the axis is being commanded to
move. This behavior is helpful in point-to-point positioning applications.
An automatic preset feature of the velocity regulator's integral term
occurs when a transition is made from a Torque Control mode to speed
control, by using the Control Mode selection parameter. Upon transition
to speed mode, the speed regulator's integral term is preset to the motor
torque reference parameter. If the speed error is small, this provides a
'bumpless' transition from the last torque reference value present just
prior to entering speed mode.

Negative Feedforward
Aside from the normal PI control elements, a negative feedforward gain
(Knff ) is provided to adjust the time response of the velocity regulator.
Knff has a range of 0…100%, where 0 disables the function. A value of
30% results in little noticeable overshoot in the speed response to a step
input. This can be easily observed when the motor speed is ramped to
zero. The effect of negative feedforward is to eliminate backup of the
motor shaft. The Knff gain setting has no effect on the stability of the
speed regulator. A disadvantage of by using negative feedforward is that
it results in a time lag in feedback response to a reference ramp input.

Velocity Droop
Another feature of the velocity regulator is the velocity droop function.
The velocity error input to the integral term is reduced by a fraction of the
velocity regulator's output, as controlled by the droop gain setting, Kdr.
As torque loading on the motor increases, actual motor speed is reduced
in proportion to the droop gain. This is helpful when some level of
compliance is required due to rigid mechanical coupling between two
motors.

Acceleration Feedforward
The velocity loop requires a non-zero velocity loop output to generate
steady- state axis motor acceleration. To provide the non-zero output
from the drive to the motor, a non-zero velocity error is generally
required. In Position Control applications, this non-zero velocity error
translates to a non-zero position loop error.
Because many closed loop motion control applications require near zero
control loop error, this behavior is not desirable. Again, the position and
velocity loop error could be reduced by applying the velocity integral gain
control as described above, but the integrator action is still too slow to be
very effective. The preferred approach with superior dynamic response is
to use Acceleration Feedforward.

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 81

Chapter 2 Behavior models used in CIP Motion
The Acceleration Feedforward feature is used to generate the bulk of the
Acceleration Reference necessary to generate the commanded
acceleration. It does this by scaling the Fine Acceleration Feedforward
generated by the Command Generator by the Acceleration Feedforward
Gain and adding the resultant Acceleration Feedforward Command
signal as an offset to the output of the velocity loop. With this feature, the
velocity loop does not need to generate much control effort, thus
reducing the amount of control loop error.
Theoretically, the optimal value for Acceleration Feedforward is 100%. In
reality, however, the value may need to be adjusted to accommodate
variations in load inertia and the torque constant of the motor. Like
Velocity Feedforward, Acceleration Feedforward can result in overshoot
behavior and should not be used in point-to-point positioning
applications.
When used in conjunction with Velocity Feedforward, Acceleration
Feedforward allows the following error of the position or Velocity Control
loop to be reduced to nearly zero during the acceleration and
deceleration phases of motion. This is important in tracking applications
that use electronic gearing and camming operations to precisely
synchronize a slave axis to the movements of a master axis.

Position Control Behavior on page 56
Velocity Feedforward on page 58
Another Velocity Control method is the open loop Frequency Control
Open Loop Frequency method associated with so called Volts/Hertz or Variable Frequency
Control Drives (VFDs) that do not have a current control loop and typically drive
an induction motor.
Velocity control with this method is achieved by controlling the voltage
and frequency output of the drive device in some manner where voltage
is generally proportional to frequency. For an induction motor, the
velocity of the motor is determined by the Output Frequency of the drive
device divided by the Motor Pole count. This control method is applicable
to Velocity Control applications that do not require tight speed regulation
and therefore do not require a feedback device.

Basic Volts/Hertz Operation

There are a number of attributes that are used to specify the relationship
the drive device uses between output frequency (speed) and output
voltage for a given (induction) motor.
The Break Frequency and Break Voltage attributes define the point on
the Volts/Hertz curve below which the Start Boost feature is applied. As
the name indicates, Start Boost is used to provide a non-zero output
voltage to the motor at stand-still to assist startup.
The contribution of Start Boost to the output voltage of the drive device
tapers off to zero when the motor reaches the Break Frequency. Above

82 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 2 Behavior models used in CIP Motion
the break point, output voltage and output frequency follow a linear slope
to the point defined by the Motor Rated Frequency and Motor Rated
Voltage. From this point on, the Volts/Hertz curve follows another linear
slope to the point defined by the Max Frequency and Max Voltage
attributes. This segment of the Volts/Hertz curve allows for operation
above the rated frequency and voltage of the motor in applications where
that is required.

Sensorless Vector Operation

Sensorless Vector is an alternative Frequency Control Method that does
not require configuration of a Volts/Hertz curve. Instead, by knowing the
Stator Resistance and Leakage Inductance of the motor, the drive device
can calculate the appropriate Output Voltage required for a given Output
Frequency. This method provides better low speed velocity control
behavior than using the Basic Volts/Hertz method.

Sensorless Vector Economy Operation

Sensorless Vector Economy is an alternative Frequency Control Method
that provides additional energy savings during Sensorless Vector
operation when running at steady state speed. When a steady state
speed condition is reached, the Sensorless Vector Economy algorithm
applies a ramp function to slowly reduce the Output Voltage while
monitoring the motor flux current, Id, until the flux current is reduced to an
internal limit (e.g. 50% Rated), thereby saving energy. The ramp rate is
set by the Sensorless Vector Economy At Speed Ki attribute. The drive
will continue to operate in this reduced power state as long as the drive is
not commanded to accelerate or decelerate the motor, and the torque
producing current level, Iq, doesn’t exceed an internal limit (e.g. 75%
Rated). In the event of an acceleration or deceleration command, or a
sudden increase in torque producing current, the Sensorless Vector
Economy feature activates a regulator that quickly adjusts the drive’s
Output Voltage to increase motor flux current back to the normal
Sensorless Vector operational level. The responsiveness of this regulator
is determined by the Sensorless Vector Economy Accel Decel Kp and Ki
attributes.

Slip Compensation
When driving an induction motor at a specific frequency, the actual motor
velocity is generally less than the command speed, given by the output
frequency divided by the motor pole count, by an amount that is
proportional to the load torque applied to the motor. This difference in
speed is called 'Slip' and is a configuration attribute associated with the
motor. The Motion Device Axis Object supports a Slip Compensation
feature that is common to Variable Frequency Drives. The amount of Slip
Compensation applied to the Velocity Reference is the product of the
measured torque producing current, Iq, and the configured Induction
Motor Rated Slip Speed.

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 83

Chapter 2 Behavior models used in CIP Motion

Velocity Droop
Another feature defined for the Frequency Control method is the droop
function. The droop function reduces the velocity reference by a scaled
fraction of the torque producing current, Iq, as controlled by the droop
gain setting, Kdr. As torque loading on the motor is increased, actual
motor speed is reduced in proportion to the droop gain. This is helpful
when some level of compliance is required when performing torque
sharing between two motors on a common load.

Current Limit Regulators

Left unmitigated, a sudden increase in commanded speed or load torque
results in a sharp increase in induction motor slip, causing a spike in
motor current. This condition can cause the drive to generate a nuisance
overcurrent fault that would adversely affect machine operation. To avoid
such a fault, a set of current limit regulators are often included when
running in Frequency Control mode to maintain operation within the rated
current limitations of the motor and drive. One of these current limit
regulators adjusts the Output Frequency Alarm to limit the increase in
motor slip, regardless of whether the increase in slip is due to an increase
in commanded speed or an increase in load torque. When operating at
lower speeds, however, this current limit regulator is not very effective at
limiting motor current. So another pair of low speed current limit
regulators are responsible for adjusting Output Voltage, rather than
Output Frequency, to limit spikes in motor current. One of these low
speed current limit regulators manages flux producing current, Id, while
the other regulator manages torque producing current (Iq). Together,
these two low speed current limit regulators keep the output current
under the overcurrent fault threshold.

Device Function Code Combinations

Using combinations of these letters, a specific class of CIP Motion
devices can be designated for the purposes of identifying applicable
attributes. For example, 'FV' would refer to the class of all velocity
controlled drives, either vector controlled or frequency controlled. Here
are some combinations that appear frequently:
Device Function Code Represents Description
Combination
B GN All Bus Power Converters or Bus Power Supplies,
Regenerative and Non-Regenerative

C PVT All Device Functions using Closed Loop Control

Methods (PI Vector Control Method)
D FC All device functions using Control Methods
(Control Method !=No Control)

Conditional Implementations
There are many conditions that impact implementation of attributes.
Some examples are, encoderless or sensorless drive operation, velocity
controlled drives operating without a feedback device, and attributes that
are replicated between the controller and the device. Conditional
implementation rules for attributes in these situations are represented by
the following Device Functions Codes:
Device Function Code Description
E Encoder-based device operation
!E Encoderless or Sensorless device operation

Attribute Units on page 88
CIP Data Types on page 89
In the attribute tables, attributes and services are defined as Required
Required vs. Optional Axis (R) or Optional (O). Required attributes and services must be supported
Attributes in the implementation of the object. Optional attributes and services may
or may not be supported in the implementation and are left to the
discretion of the device manufacturer.
For Instance Attributes, the determination of whether a given attribute or
service is Required or Optional often depends on the associated Device
Function Code.

Required Implementation
If an attribute is marked as Required for a given Device Function Code
then the controller implementation, including configuration and

90 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 3 Interpret the Attribute Tables
programming the software, support that attribute if the end device is
intended to operate in that mode. For example, an attribute marked as
Required for Device Function Code 'V' is supported by any controller that
intends to interface to a CIP Motion device that supports Velocity Loop
operation.
In some cases an attribute or service may not even be applicable to a
given Device Function Code. This situation is implied when the attribute
is defined as neither Required nor Optional for that code. The Required
and Optional classification of a given attribute can therefore be used in
configuration software design to determine if the attribute is applicable
and requires user entry.

Conditional Implementation
For some attributes, there are conditional implementation rules that
extend beyond the Device Function Code. These rules are specified in
the Conditional Implementation column of the table below. In the
following example, the attribute PM Motor Resistance is Required “R” in
the implementation if the device supports Frequency Control, Position
Control, Velocity Control, or Torque Control and the device supports
Permanent Magnet motors, that is, “PM Motor only”. The attribute is Not
Applicable “-” for a Bus Power Converter or a Feedback Only device or a
drive that does not support a PM motor.
Attribute ID Access Attribute X G N E F P V T Conditional
Rule Implementation
1327 Set PM Motor R - - - R R R R SPM, IPM, LTS Motors
Resistance Only

To get details about how to specify the attribute, refer to the attributes list
for the functional category. For this example, PM Motor Resistance is a
member of the General Permanent Magnet Motor Attributes category.
The following table provides an example of the details information:
Usage Access Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Required Set/SSV* REAL 0 0 - Ohms
DB
* Indicates the attribute cannot be set while the drive power structure is enabled (Power Structure Enable bit
in CIP Axis Status is true).

When you are reviewing the tables for an attribute remember that Vendor
Specific attributes, attribute enumerations, and bits, are Optional by
definition. Attributes that have Optional enumerations or bit maps are
designated so in the Condition Implementation column. Details about
Optional and Required support for the individual enumerations or bits for
these attributes can be found in the detailed attribute behavior tables.
The software queries the specific drive profile, Add-on Profile (AOP), to
determine if the Optional attributes listed in the table are supported.
Attributes that are marked with an AOP in the Conditional Implementation
column have semantics with additional, drive specific, optional behavior
that is queried.

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 91

Chapter 3 Interpret the Attribute Tables
If the conditional implementation column reads "Derived", it means that
the value for an attribute is determined (derived) by the controller based
on the value of another attribute. In this case, the current attribute follows
the conditional implementation rules of the attribute from which it is
derived. Derived attributes do not need to be downloaded to the
controller but do need to be supported by setting the appropriate bits in
the Drive Set Attribute Update Bits attribute, if applicable.

CIP Axis Attributes

The CIP Axis Attributes let you configure motion-control system devices
that include feedback devices and drive devices. For drive devices, the
CIP Axis Attributes cover a wide range of drive types from simple variable
frequency (V/Hz) drives, to sophisticated position-control servo drives.
Many commercial drive products have axes that can be configured to
operate in any one of these different motion-control modes, depending
on the specific application requirements.
The CIP Axis Attributes are organized to address the broad range of
functionality. Because of the large number of attributes, they are
organized by functional category.

Output of the Load Observer that, when the Load Observer block is
enabled, is applied to the acceleration reference summing junction. In the
Load Observer configuration, this signal compensates for disturbances to
the load relative to an ideal load model. When the Load Observer is
configured to operate in Acceleration Feedback Only mode, this signal is
the estimated acceleration feedback signal used to close the acceleration
loop. When the Load Observer is disabled, this signal is 0.

Product of the Load Observer Acceleration Estimate signal and the

current System Inertia value, Kj. In the Load Observer configuration, this
signal represents the estimated torque disturbances to the load relative
to an ideal load model. When the Load Observer is configured to operate
in Acceleration Feedback Only mode, this signal is an estimate of the
applied motor torque. When the Load Observer is disabled, this signal is
0.

The Load Observer Configuration attribute configures the operation of

the Load Observer. The Load Observer dynamically measures the active
load torque applied to the motor load for the purpose of load disturbance
compensation. Selecting the Velocity Estimate configures the observer to
dynamically estimate velocity based on an internal model of the motor
and load. When Velocity Estimate is selected, this signal is applied to the

velocity loop to provide superior control loop performance. The Velocity
Estimate may be used in combination with the Load Observer by
selecting Load Observer with Velocity Estimate. The Acceleration
Feedback configuration applies acceleration feedback to the control loop
structure to improve stability and performance. In effect, Acceleration
Feedback is like adding virtual inertia to the motor thus reducing the Load
Ratio.

Kop
Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - PV Set T REAL FD 0 Radians/Sec

The Load Observer Bandwidth attribute determines the proportional gain,

Kop, of the load observer. This value represents the unity gain bandwidth
of the load observer.

Koi
Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - PV Set T REAL 0 0 Radians/Sec

The Load Observer Integrator Bandwidth attribute determines the load

observer integral gain, Koi, that together with the Kop, multiplies the
integrated error signal within the observer. This value represents the
bandwidth of the integrator beyond which the integrator is ineffective. A
value of 0 for this attribute disables the integrator.

Kof
Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - PV Set REAL 0.5 0

The Load Observer Feedback Gain attribute is a value that, when

configured for Acceleration Feedback, multiplies the Load Observer's
acceleration output signal before applying it as feedback to the
acceleration reference summing junction. The output of this gain term is
the Load Observer Acceleration Estimate signal. If not configured for
Acceleration Feedback operation, this attribute has no effect.

 Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
The Acceleration Limit attribute defines the maximum acceleration value
(increasing speed) into the acceleration summing junction. If this
acceleration limit value is exceeded, the device responds by clamping
the acceleration reference to this limit and setting the Acceleration Limit
status bit.

Deceleration Limit
Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - C Set REAL 0 0 Accel Control Units/Sec2

Skip Speed 3
Usage Access Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - F Set/SSV REAL 0 - Velocity Units

The Skip Speed 3 attribute sets the central speed of a skip speed band
within which the device does not operate. The skip speed value is signed.

Skip Speed Band

Usage Access Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type

Optional - F Set/SSV REAL 0 0 Velocity Units

When operating in Closed Loop Velocity mode, the Fine Velocity

Command block also supports Skip Bands that are most frequently used
in applications where certain speeds excite mechanical resonance
frequencies of the motor and load.
The Skip Speed Band attribute determines the speed window around a
skip speed that cannot be commanded. Any command set-point within
this window is adjusted by the Skip Speed block to fall at either the upper
or lower Skip Speed Band boundary value. The device can smoothly
accelerate or decelerate through the skip speed band based on the ramp
generator block but may not operate at a set speed within the band. The
Skip Speed Band is distributed ½ above and ½ below the skip speed.
This Skip Speed Band attribute applies to all skip speeds supported in
the device. A value of 0 for this attribute disables this feature.

Ramp Velocity - Positive

The Ramp Velocity - Positive attribute is a positive value that defines the
maximum positive velocity command output of the Ramp Generator.

Ramp Velocity - Negative

Usage Access Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - FV Get/SSV REAL 0 - 0 Velocity Units

The Ramp Velocity - Negative attribute is a negative value that defines

the maximum negative velocity command output of the Ramp Generator.

Ramp Acceleration
Usage Access Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - FV Get/SSV REAL 0 0 Accel Units
Derived from
Max Accel

The Ramp Acceleration attribute is a positive value that defines the

maximum acceleration (increasing speed) of the velocity command
output by the Ramp Generator.

Ramp Deceleration
Usage Access Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - FV Get/SSV REAL 0 0 Accel Units
Derived from
Max Decel

The Ramp Deceleration attribute is a positive value that defines the

maximum deceleration (decreasing speed) of the velocity command
output by the Ramp Generator.

Ramp Jerk Control

Usage Access Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type

Optional - FV Get/SSV REAL 0 0 100 %

The Ramp Jerk Control attribute sets the percentage of accel or decel
time that is applied to the speed ramp as jerk limited S Curve based on a
step change in velocity. The S Curve time is added ½ at the beginning
and ½ at the end of the ramp. A value of 0 results in no S-Curve, for
example, a linear acceleration or deceleration ramp.
A value of 100% results in a triangular acceleration profile with the peak
being the configured ramp acceleration or deceleration.
As the Jerk Control value increases the derived accelerating jerk value
decreases based on:
0.5 * 0.01 * Jerk Control * Ramp Vel Positive / Ramp Accel

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 247

Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
and the decelerating Jerk limit value also decreases according to:
0.5 * 0.01 * Jerk Control * Ramp Vel Negative / Ramp Decel.

Flying Start Enable

Usage Access Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - FV Set/SSV USINT 0 - - 0 = Flying Start Disabled
1 = Flying Start Enabled

The Flying Start Enable attribute is used to enable or disable the Flying
Start feature of the device. When Flying Start Enable is true and the
motion axis is enabled, the device determines the current velocity of the
motor, using either the configured Flying Start Method or, if not
supported, a method that is left to the drive vendor's discretion. This
operation is done as part of the Starting State initialization activities. Just
prior to transitioning to the Running state, the device presets the output of
the Ramp Generator to the current velocity. In this way, the motor
seamlessly ramps from its current velocity to the commanded velocity
from the controller. When Flying Start Enable is false, the motor velocity
is irrelevant and a preset of 0 is applied to the Ramp Generator output.
Some drive vendors do not allow the Flying Start feature to be disabled
when connected to a feedback device. To support this behavior, these
drives do not support the Flying Start Enable attribute, but do support the
Flying Start Method attribute.

Flying Start Method

Usage Access Data Type Default Min Max Semantics of Values

Optional - FV Set/SSV USINT 0 - - Enumerations:

0 = Encoder Only (R)
1 = Counter EMF (O)
2 = Sweep Frequency (O)

The Flying Start Method attribute is an enumerated value which

establishes the method used to "catch" a moving motor when the drive is
enabled. The configured Flying Start Method is applied if Flying Start
Enable is true or if the Flying Start Enable attribute is not supported.
When Encoder Only is selected, the drive uses encoder feedback to
determine the current speed of the motor to initialize the Ramp Generator
output. This method is not applicable without a connected feedback
device. If Encoder Only is selected without a connected feedback device,
the Flying Start function is effectively disabled.
When Counter EMF is selected, the drive determines the speed of the
motor by measuring the motor's Counter EMF and applying the
estimated speed to the Ramp Generator output.
When Sweep Frequency is selected the drive applies an algorithm that
excites the motor at a predetermined frequency and, while "sweeping"
the frequency to zero, checks for the motor current to change sign when

248 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
the frequency matches the speed of the motor. The drive then applies
this speed to the to the Ramp Generator output.

based on a step change in velocity. The S Curve time is added ½ at the
beginning and ½ at the end of the ramp. A value of 0 results in no
S-Curve, that is, a linear acceleration or deceleration ramp. A value of
100% results in a triangular acceleration profile with the peak being the
configured ramp acceleration or deceleration. As the Jerk Control value
increases the derived accelerating jerk value decreases based on 0.5 *

when connected to a feedback device. These drives do not support the
Flying Start Enable attribute, but do support the Flying Start Method
attribute.

Flying Start Method

Usage Access T Data Type Default Min Max Semantics of Values

Optional - FV Set USINT 0 - - Enumerations:

0 = Encoder Only
1 = Counter EMF
2 = Sweep Frequency

The Flying Start Method attribute is an enumerated value that establishes

the method used to “catch” a moving motor when the drive is enabled.
The configured Flying Start Method is applied if Flying Start Enable is
true or if the Flying Start Enable attribute is not supported.
When Encoder Only is selected, the drive uses encoder feedback to
determine the current speed of the motor to initialize the Ramp Generator
output. This method is not applicable without a connected feedback
device. If Encoder Only is selected without a connected feedback device,
the Flying Start function is effectively disabled.
When Counter EMF is selected, the drive determines the speed of the
motor by measuring the motor’s Counter EMF and applying the
estimated speed to the Ramp Generator output.
When Sweep Frequency is selected the drive applies an algorithm that
excites the motor at a predetermined frequency and, while “sweeping”
the frequency to zero, checks for the motor current to change sign when
the frequency matches the speed of the motor. The drive then applies
this speed to the Ramp Generator output.

When the motion axis is enabled, DC current is applied to an induction

motor to build stator flux before transitioning to the Running state. This
attribute controls how an induction motor is to be fluxed in the Starting
state prior to transitioning to the Running state. If No Delay is selected the
axis transitions immediately to the Running state while the motor flux is
building. With Manual Delay, the axis remains in the Starting state for the
Flux Up Time to allow time for the motor to be fully fluxed. With Automatic
Delay, the drive device determines the amount of time to delay to fully
flux the motor based on motor configuration attribute data or
measurements.

that the drive establish induction motor flux using alternative means prior
to transitioning to the Running state.

This enumerated parameter is set to Controller Offset (1) when the motor
mounted absolute feedback device is to be aligned with the stator
windings of the PM motor according to the Commutation Offset value. In
some cases the Commutation Offset can be preset to a value established
by factory alignment of the motor feedback device relative to the motor
stator windings.
A setting of Not Aligned (0) indicates that the motor is not aligned, and
that the Commutation Offset value is not valid. If the Commutation Offset

Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
is not valid, it cannot be used by the drive to determine the commutation
angle. Any attempt to enable the drive with an invalid commutation angle
will result in a Start Inhibit condition.
Alignment can be achieved using a Commutation Test that measures
and sets the Commutation Offset for the motor or by direct user entry. If
this attribute is set to Motor Offset (2) the drive derives the commutation
offset directly from the motor. If set to Self-Sense (3) the drive
automatically measures the commutation offset when it transitions to the
Starting state for the first time after a power cycle. This generally applies
to a PM motor equipped with a simple incremental feedback device.

Commutation Offset
Usage Access Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Required - CE Set REAL 0 0 Electrical Degrees
(PM Motor) !LTM DB

The Commutation Offset attribute specifies the commutation offset of the

PM motor mounted feedback device in units of electrical degrees. This
attribute specifies the offset from a commutation reference position
defined by applying DC current into the A terminal and out of the shorted
B and C terminals of the motor and allowing the rotor to move to its
magnetic null position relative to the stator. On an absolute encoder or
resolver, the offset is the difference from the device’s zero absolute
position and the commutation reference position. On an incremental
encoder or Hall sensor with UVW signals, the offset is the difference
between the position corresponding to a transition of the commutation
device’s W (S3) channel with the U (S1) channel high and the V (S2)
channel low, and the commutation reference position. The commutation
offset is only applicable to the motor mounted Feedback 1 device.
When the optional Commutation Alignment attribute is supported and set
to Controller Offset, the drive shall apply the Commutation Offset value
from the controller to determine the electrical angle of the motor. In this
case, a valid Commutation Offset value must established by the
controller. In the unusual case where the commutation offset is also
stored in the motor, and differs significantly from Commutation Offset
value from the controller, the drive shall transition to the Start Inhibited
state.
If the Commutation Alignment attribute is not set to Controller Offset, the
Commutation Offset value from the controller is ignored by the drive and
the drive must determine its internal commutation offset value by other
means. Without a valid commutation offset, the drive shall be Start
Inhibited.

 Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
When a PM motor feedback drive device is an incremental encoder
without UVW tracks for commutation, a Self-Sensing algorithm is run
during the Starting state that determines the Commutation Offset to apply
to the position feedback. This algorithm applies a current to the motor
stator to orient the rotor to establish the motor commutation phasing.

Usage Access Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - CE USINT 0 - - Enumeration
Set
(PM Motor) 0 = Normal Polarity
1 = Inverted Polarity
2-255 = Reserved

When a PM motor is using UVW signals for commutation start up, it is

critical that the UVW phases of the commutation device follow the
phasing of the motor. Normal polarity implies UVW phasing according to
factory specification when the commutation device is moving in the
factory defined positive direction. Inverted polarity effectively switches
the UVW phasing to UWV thus reversing the directional sense of the
commutation device. If it is determined through a Commutation Test that
the phasing of the motor and the phasing of the commutation device have
opposite polarity, this attribute can be used to compensate for the
mismatch.

This value specifies the change in the Commutation Offset value in units
of electrical degrees as a linear function of current. When the Iq current is
+100% of rated continuous current, the Commutation Offset value is
decreased by the value of this attribute. When the Iq current is -100% the
Commutation Offset is increased by the value of the attribute. This
attribute is used by the drive to compensate for changes in the optimal
Commutation Offset angle that can occur as a function of motor current.

aligned, and that the Commutation Offset value is not valid. If the
Commutation Offset is not valid, it cannot be used by the drive to
determine the commutation angle. Any attempt to enable the drive with
an invalid commutation angle shall result in a Start Inhibit condition.
Alignment can be achieved via a Commutation Test that measures and

to a PM motor equipped with a simple incremental feedback device.
The Default Commutation Alignment value used for the Feedback
Commutation Aligned and Commutation Alignment attributes depends
on the associated Feedback Type and whether or not the motor
commutation device is Factory Aligned. When the Motor Data Source is
from Datasheet, it is assumed that the motor is not Factory Aligned.
When the Motor Data Source is from Database, motor data in the
database indicates if the motor is Factory Aligned.

This enumerated parameter is set to Controller Offset (1) or Database

Offset (4) when the motor mounted absolute feedback device is to be
aligned with the stator windings of the PM motor according to the
Commutation Offset value. In some cases the Commutation Offset can
be preset to a value established by factory alignment of the motor
feedback device relative to the motor stator windings. A setting of Not
Aligned (0) indicates that the motor is not aligned, and that the
Commutation Offset value is not valid. If the Commutation Offset is not
valid, it cannot be used by the drive to determine the commutation angle.
Any attempt to enable the drive with an invalid commutation angle shall
result in a Start Inhibit condition. Alignment can be achieved via a
Commutation Test that measures and sets the Commutation Offset for
the motor or by direct user entry. If this attribute is set to Motor Offset (2)
the drive derives the commutation offset directly from the motor. If set to
Self-Sense (3) the drive automatically measures the commutation offset
when it transitions to the Starting state for the first time after a power
cycle. This generally applies to a PM motor equipped with a simple
incremental feedback device.
This is a proprietary version of new standard attribute, Commutation
Alignment. Both Default and Valid Commutation Alignment values
depend on the selected Feedback 1 Type as defined in the following
Semantics section.

motor moving coil) for the purposes of PM motor commutation when
starting up the drive. If this attribute is not supported, the commutation
startup method is determined implicitly by the Feedback 1 Type
selection. Likewise, if this attribute is supported and set to From

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 273

Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
Feedback Type, the commutation startup method is also determined
implicitly by the Feedback 1 Type selection.
The UVW startup method uses UVW signals from motor mounted
encoder tracks or Hall sensors together with the Commutation Offset to
properly align the rotor with stator windings or, in the case of a linear
motor, the moving coil with magnet track. Once aligned, commutation is
maintained via position signals from the motor mounted feedback device,
that is, Feedback 1.
The Digital startup method uses Digital signals from a motor mounted
absolute feedback device together with the Commutation Offset to align
the rotor with stator windings or, in the case of a linear motor, the moving
coil with the magnet track.
The Self-Sensing start-up method applies current to the motor stator (or
moving coil) during the initial Starting state to force the rotor (or moving
coil) to the Null position and thereby achieve proper commutation
alignment. Once aligned, commutation is maintained via position signals
from the motor mounted feedback device, Feedback 1. This method is
used when there is no absolute feedback available to align the motor, for
example. a motor equipped with an incremental encoder.

Commutation Offset
Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Required – CE
(PM) Electrical Degrees
SSV#/GSV REAL 0 DB 0
(!LTM)

A value that specifies the commutation offset of the PM motor mounted

feedback device in units of electrical degrees. This attribute specifies the
offset from a commutation reference position defined by applying DC
current into the A terminal and out of the shorted B and C terminals of the
motor and allowing the rotor to move to its magnetic null position relative
to the stator. On an absolute encoder or resolver, the offset is the
difference from the device’s zero absolute position and the commutation
reference position. On an incremental encoder or Hall sensor with UVW
signals, the offset is the difference between the position corresponding to
a transition of the commutation device’s W (S3) channel (with the U (S1)
channel high and the V (S2) channel low) and the commutation reference
position. The commutation offset is only applicable to the motor mounted
Feedback 1 device.
When the optional Commutation Alignment attribute is supported and set
to Controller Offset or Database Offset, the drive applies the
Commutation Offset value from the controller to determine the electrical
angle of the motor. In this case, a valid Commutation Offset value must
be entered by the user, read from the Motor Database, or determined by
the Commutation Test. In the unusual case where the commutation offset
is also stored in the motor, and differs significantly from Commutation
Offset value from the controller, the drive shall transition to the Start
Inhibited state.

274 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
If the Commutation Alignment attribute is not set to Controller Offset or
Database Offset, the Commutation Offset value from the controller is
ignored by the drive and the drive must determine its internal
commutation offset value by other means. Without a valid commutation
offset, the drive shall be Start Inhibited.

Commutation Self-Sensing Current

Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type

Optional - CE
% Motor Rated
(PM) Set/GSV REAL 100 0 200

When a PM motor feedback drive device is an incremental encoder

without UVW tracks for commutation, a Self-Sensing algorithm is run
during the Starting state that determines the Commutation Offset to apply
to the position feedback. This algorithm applies a current to the motor
stator to orient the rotor to establish the motor commutation phasing.

Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Enumeration:
Optional - CE 0 = Normal
(PM) Set/SSV* USINT 0 - - 1 = Inverted
2-255 = (reserved)

When a PM motor is using UVW signals for commutation start up, it is

critical that the UVW phases of the commutation device follow the
phasing of the motor. Normal polarity implies UVW phasing according to
factory specification when the commutation device is moving in the
factory defined positive direction. Inverted polarity effectively switches
the UVW phasing to UWV thus reversing the directional sense of the
commutation device. If it is determined via a Commutation Test that the
phasing of the motor and the phasing of the commutation device have
opposite polarity, this attribute can be used to compensate for the
mismatch.

aligned with the stator windings of the PM motor according to the
Commutation Offset value. In some cases the Commutation Offset can
be preset to a value established by factory alignment of the motor
feedback device relative to the motor stator windings. A setting of Not
Aligned (0) indicates that the motor is not aligned, and that the
Commutation Offset value is not valid. If the Commutation Offset is not
valid, it cannot be used by the drive to determine the commutation angle.
Any attempt to enable the drive with an invalid commutation angle shall
result in a Start Inhibit condition. Alignment can be achieved via a
Commutation Test that measures and sets the Commutation Offset for
the motor or by direct user entry. If this attribute is set to Motor Offset (2)
the drive derives the commutation offset directly from the motor. If set to
Self-Sense (3) the drive automatically measures the commutation offset
when it transitions to the Starting state for the first time after a power

Commutation Offset Compensation

Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional – CE
Electrical Degrees
(IPM Only) SSV#/GSV REAL 0 0

This value specifies the change in the Commutation Offset value in units
of electrical degrees as a linear function of current. When the Iq current is
+100% of rated continuous current, the Commutation Offset value is
decreased by the value of this attribute. When the Iq current is -100% the
Commutation Offset is increased by the value of the attribute. This
attribute is used by the drive to compensate for changes in the optimal
Commutation Offset angle that can occur as a function of motor current.

When the integrator hold enable bit is set, the integrator is held while
motion is being commanded with a non-zero velocity. When clear, the
integrator runs without qualification. When the auto-preset bit is set, the

The Adaptive Tuning Configuration value controls operation of the

Adaptive Tuning function. This function periodically collects and analyzes
Torque Reference signal data to identify resonances and closed loop
instabilities in the system.
When enabled, the Adaptive Tuning function can adjust up to four
tracking notch filters to attenuate resonances and also adjust servo loop
gain and filter values to improve and stabilize the control loop.
In this section, attributes associated with the four torque notch filter
instances are identified collectively with an “n” in the attribute name,
where n can be null (blank) for instance 1, or range from 2 to 4, for the
additional notch filter instances. The Adaptive Tuning Tracking Notch
Filters attribute value defines how many Torque Notch Filters the
Adaptive Tuning function can automatically adjust. For example, when
Adaptive Tuning Tracking Notch Filters is set to 3, the Adaptive Tuning
function controls the values of Torque Notch Filter Frequency, Torque
Notch Filter 2 Frequency, and Torque Notch Filter 3 Frequency, but does
not have any impact on Torque Notch Filter 4 Frequency.
During each Adaptive Tuning update (nominal update period is 1 second)
the Adaptive Tuning function is allowed to adjust one control parameter
based on detected conditions. Specifically, in any given update, the
function can only adjust the Adaptive Tuning Gain Scaling Factor, or the
Torque Low Pass Filter Bandwidth, or a single Torque Notch Filter
instance. The Adaptive Tuning function determines which Torque Notch
Filters instance is updated based on a FIFO buffer whose size is
constrained by the configured Adaptive Tuning Tracking Notch Filters
attribute value.
When the Adaptive Tuning Configuration is set to Disabled, the controller
configured servo loop gain and filter attribute values are applied directly
to the control structure of the associated axis without intervention of the
Adaptive Tuning function. However, the Adaptive Tuning function
continues to set the Torque Notch Filter Frequency Estimate to identified
resonance frequencies, load the magnitude of the resonances to the

288 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
Torque Notch Filter Magnitude Estimate, and load an estimated width to
the Torque Notch Filter Width Estimate.
When Adaptive Tuning Configuration is set to Tracking Notch, up to four
torque notch filters are automatically adjusted by the Adaptive Tuning
function to attenuate each resonance frequency detected. Specifically,
the Torque Notch Filter “n” Frequency Estimate attribute value,
determined by the Adaptive Tuning function, is applied to the Torque
Notch Filter “n” Frequency value of the associated notch filter, thus
overriding the controller configured Torque Notch Filter “n” Frequency
value. In addition, the Adaptive Tuning function applies the Torque Notch
Filter “n” Width Estimate attribute value to the Torque Notch Filter “n”
Width, sets the Torque Notch Filter “n” Depth to zero, and the Torque
Notch Filter “n” Gain to one. The controller configured Torque Notch Filter
“n” attribute values are not overwritten as a result of this operation, nor do
the controller configured values have any effect on Torque Notch Filter
“n” behavior. All other controller configured servo loop attributes are
applied directly without intervention of the Adaptive Tuning function.
When configured for Gain Stabilization, servo loop gain values and filters
are automatically adjusted to stabilize the control loops, when necessary.
Specifically, the Load Observer Bandwidth, Load Observer Integrator
Bandwidth, Velocity Loop Bandwidth, Velocity Loop Integrator
Bandwidth, Position Loop Bandwidth, and Position Loop Integrator
Bandwidth attribute values are scaled by the Adaptive Tuning Gain
Scaling Factor. The Torque Low Pass Filter Bandwidth Estimate is also
applied to the Torque Low Pass Filter Bandwidth to suppress high
frequency (mechanical) resonances when necessary. The configured
values of these attributes are not overwritten as a result of this operation
nor do the configured values have any effect on drive behavior. In this
configuration, the controller configured values for the Torque Notch Filter
attributes are applied directly to the notch filters without intervention of
the Adaptive Tuning function.
When configured for Tracking Notch and Gain Stabilization, up to four
torque notch filters are automatically adjusted by the Adaptive Tuning
function to attenuate each resonance frequency detected, and servo loop
gain values and filters are automatically adjusted to stabilize the control
loops.
When configured for Gain Optimization, up to four torque notch filters are
automatically adjusted by the Adaptive Tuning function to attenuate each
resonance frequency detected. Servo loop gain values and filters are
also automatically adjusted to both stabilize and optimize the
performance of the control loops.
Specifically, the Torque Notch Filter “n” Frequency Estimate attribute
value, determined by the Adaptive Tuning function, is applied to the
Torque Notch Filter “n” Bandwidth. The Torque Notch Filter “n” Width
Estimate attribute value, determined by the Adaptive Tuning function, is
applied to the Torque Notch Filter “n” Width, the Torque Notch Filter “n”
Depth is set to zero, and the Torque Notch Filter “n” Gain is set to one.
The Load Observer Bandwidth, Load Observer Integrator Bandwidth,
Velocity Loop Bandwidth, Velocity Loop Integrator Bandwidth, Position
Loop Bandwidth, and Position Loop Integrator Bandwidth attributes are
scaled by the Adaptive Tuning Gain Scaling Factor. The Torque Low
Pass Filter Bandwidth Estimate is applied to the Torque Low Pass Filter

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 289

Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
Bandwidth. The configured values of these attributes are not overwritten
as a result of this operation nor do the configured values have any effect
on drive behavior.
When Adaptive Tuning Configuration is changed to enable the Tracking
Notch Filter function, the Torque Notch Filter “n” Frequency Estimate and
Torque Notch Filter “n” Width Estimate values controlled by the Adaptive
Tuning function are initialized to the controller configured Torque Notch
Filter “n” Frequency and Torque Notch Filter “n” Width attribute values,
respectively.
When the Adaptive Tuning feature is enabled, the drive shall persist the
feature’s last operational attribute values during a drive power cycle,
network disconnect/reconnect, or controller download. One of the few
exceptions to this rule is when the Motor ID has changed, in which case
the last operational attribute values are re-initialized to the controller
configured values. Another exception is related to test services. When
running test services, the torque reference filters that include the notch
filters and low-pass filters, are typically bypassed while the test is in
process. After such tests have completed the operational attribute values
for the Adaptive Tuning feature are re-initialized to the controller
configured values.
The Adaptive Tuning function runs periodically to collect and analyzes
Torque Reference signal data while the axis is in the Running state, even
when the Adaptive Tuning Configuration is set to Disabled. When
disabled, the Adaptive Tuning function sets the Torque Notch Filter
Frequency Estimate to the identified resonant frequency with the largest
magnitude that meets the configured notch filter tuning criteria. The
magnitude of the resonance is loaded to the Torque Notch Filter
Magnitude Estimate and an estimated width is loaded to the Torque
Notch Filter Width Estimate. If not Disabled, the Adaptive Tuning function
sets the Torque Notch Filter “n” Frequency Estimate to the identified
resonant frequency with the largest magnitude that meets the configured
notch filter tuning criteria. The magnitude of the resonance is loaded to
the Torque Notch Filter “n” Magnitude Estimate and an estimated width is
loaded to the Torque Notch Filter Width Estimate. The Adaptive Tuning
status bits in the CIP Axis Status RA attribute are updated each time the
Adaptive Tuning function is executed.
The configured notch filter tuning criteria are that the magnitude of the
resonant frequency, not associated with the command signal, be above
the configured Torque Notch Filter Tuning Threshold and that the
frequency of the resonance be between the configured Torque Notch
Filter Low Frequency Limit and Torque Notch Filter High Frequency
Limit.
When the drive axis is in any other state besides the Running state, the
Adaptive Tuning function clears out its sample history, resets Adaptive
Tuning internal logic, and suspends operation. While suspended, the
Adaptive Tuning function persists the values of it output estimates
(Torque Notch Filter “n” Frequency Estimate, Torque Notch Filter “n”
Magnitude Estimate, Torque Notch Filter “n” Width Estimate, and Torque
Low Pass Filter Bandwidth Estimate, as well as the Adaptive Tuning Gain
Scaling Factor). The values of all the Adaptive Tuning function’s Axis
Status bits are also persistent while operation is suspended.

 Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
When the Adaptive Tuning Configuration is changed to disable the Gain
Stabilization or the Gain Optimization functions, the Adaptive Tuning
Gain Scaling Factor is reset to one. In this case, the control configured
Torque Notch Filter “n” Frequency, Torque Low Pass Filter Bandwidth,
Load Observer Bandwidth, Load Observer Integrator Bandwidth, Velocity
Loop Bandwidth, Velocity Loop Integrator Bandwidth, Position Loop
Bandwidth, and Position Loop Integrator Bandwidth attribute values are
applied directly to the control loop structure without intervention of the
Adaptive Tuning function.
When the Adaptive Tuning Configuration is changed to disable the
Tracking Notch Filter function, the controller configured Torque Notch
Filter “n” attribute values are applied to the Torque Notch Filters without
intervention of the Adaptive Tuning function.
When a high frequency resonance with a center frequency between the
Torque Notch Filter Low Frequency Limit and the Torque Notch Filter
High Frequency Limit is detected with a magnitude above the Torque
Notch Filter Tuning Threshold, the resonance's center frequency and
magnitude are measured and placed in the Torque Notch Filter “n”
Frequency Estimate and the Torque Notch Filter “n” Magnitude Estimate,
respectively. A suitable notch filter width is also calculated and placed in
the Torque Notch Filter “n” Width Estimate by interpolating a value
between the Torque Notch Filter Width Minimum and Torque Notch Filter
Width Maximum based on the location of the Torque Notch Filter
Frequency Estimate between the Torque Notch Filter Low Frequency
Limit and the Torque Notch Filter High Frequency Limit.
When a low frequency resonance with a center frequency below the
Torque Notch Filter Low Frequency Limit is detected with a magnitude
greater than the Gain Stabilization Torque Limit threshold line (blue),
Gain Stabilization applies two main functions until the low frequency
resonance magnitude decreases below this threshold or an instability
occurs.
1. Gain Stabilization enables and tunes the torque low pass filter to
suppress high frequency (mechanical) resonances if any are
identified above the low frequency limit. Here, the Torque Low
Pass Filter Bandwidth Estimate is applied to the torque low pass
filter instead of the Torque Low Pass Filter Bandwidth. The
bandwidth estimate is incrementally decreased from its default
value until the identified resonances are suppressed or until a low
frequency (control) resonance or instability occurs.
2. Gain Stabilization detunes control loop gains to suppress any
remaining low frequency (control) resonances and stabilize the
system.

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 291

Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
When Adaptive Tuning Configuration is set to Gain Optimization,
Adaptive Tuning applies the Tracking Notch function if necessary,
followed by Gain Stabilization or Gain Optimization function if necessary.

When a low frequency resonance is detected with an Adaptive Tuning

Stability Magnitude Estimate less than the Gain Optimization Torque
Limit threshold line (purple), Gain Optimization increases the Adaptive
Tuning Gain Scaling Factor to greater than 1.0 in additive increments
until the low frequency resonance magnitude increases above this
threshold line. This additive increment is fixed and equal to the Gain
Optimization Scale Increment when the Gain Optimization Position Error
Threshold or the Gain Optimization Velocity Error Threshold is zero or
Gain Optimization Error Type is set to None.
In contrast, when a low frequency resonance is detected with an
Adaptive Tuning Stability Magnitude Estimate greater than the Gain
Stabilization Torque Limit threshold line, Gain Stabilization decreases the
Adaptive Tuning Gain Scaling Factor in multiplier increments of 0.75x
until the low frequency resonance magnitude decreases below the
threshold.
While in position mode, the Gain Optimization Position Error Threshold
can be set to increase the Adaptive Tuning Gain Scaling Factor in
increments equal to the Gain Optimization Scale Increment * (a scaler
proportional to error) until the Adaptive Tuning Stability Magnitude
Estimate increases above the Gain Optimization Torque Limit line OR
until the position error is less than the Gain Optimization Position Error
Threshold.
When the Gain Optimization Error Type is set to Peak, the position error
condition is monitored all the time and when the Gain Optimization Error
Type is set to Steady State, the position error condition is only monitored
during steady state position. When the Gain Optimization Position Error
Threshold is set to zero or Gain Optimization Error Type is set to None,
this feature is disabled and the gain scale increment is restored to a fixed
value equal to the Gain Optimization Scale Increment.
While in velocity mode, the Gain Optimization Velocity Error Threshold
can be set to increase the Adaptive Tuning Gain Scaling Factor in
increments equal to the Gain Optimization Scale Increment * (a scaler
proportional to error) until the Adaptive Tuning Stability Magnitude
Estimate increases above the Gain Optimization Torque Limit line OR

292 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

until the velocity error is less than the Gain Optimization Velocity Error
Threshold.
When the Gain Optimization Error Type is set to Peak, the velocity error
condition is monitored all the time and when the Gain Optimization Error
Type is set to Steady State, the velocity error condition is only monitored
during steady state velocity.
When the Gain Optimization Velocity Error Threshold is set to zero or
Gain Optimization Error Type is set to None, this feature is disabled and
the gain scale increment is restored to a fixed value equal to the Gain
Optimization Scale Increment.
A timer can be set to automatically switch from Gain Optimization mode
to Gain Stabilization mode after a period of time set by the Gain
Optimization Time. This is good for cyclic applications that index
between two speeds or operating points. Here, a lower speed triggers
Gain Optimization each machine cycle while a higher speed triggers Gain
Stabilization each machine cycle, however repeated Gain Stabilization
may cause degradation because it reacts to momentary instability.
When the Gain Optimization Time is set to zero, this feature is disabled,
which is typical for constant speed or non-cyclic applications. The Gain
Optimization timer is reset when the Adaptive Tuning Configuration is
switched to Tracking Notch and Gain Stabilization and then back to Gain
Optimization.
When configured for Gain Optimization, up to four torque notch filters are
automatically adjusted by the Adaptive Tuning function to attenuate each
resonance frequency detected. Servo loop gain values and filters are
also automatically adjusted to both stabilize and optimize the
performance of the control loops.

Adaptive Tuning Gain Scaling Factor Min

The Adaptive Tuning Gain Scaling Factor Min attribute sets the lower
limit on the Adaptive Tuning Gain Scaling Factor when the Adaptive
Tuning function is active and performing Gain Stabilization. This limits
how low the Gain Scaling Factor can be reduced by the Gain Stabilization
function.
This prevents the Adaptive Tuning Gain Stabilization algorithm from
decreasing the bandwidth of the control loop to the point where there is
insufficient torque to effectively control the load.

The Torque Offset attribute provides a torque bias when performing

closed loop control. This value is summed together with the Torque Trim
value that can be sent synchronously to the drive every connection
update. Since the Torque Trim value is available as a templated value,
real time torque corrections can be done using the Torque Trim attribute.

The Torque Calibration Factor - Motoring value calibrates the Torque

Reference signal to match the actual torque applied by the motor. This
calibration factor is applied when the drive is applying positive torque
producing current, i.e. motoring operation. This value is defined as a
percent scaling adjustment to the Torque Reference signal. For example,
a value of 5% multiplies the Torque Reference signal by a factor of 1.05.

Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - C Set/SSV T REAL 0 0 %

The Torque Calibration Factor - Regenerating value calibrates the

Torque Reference signal to match the actual torque applied by the motor.
This calibration factor is applied when the drive is absorbing negative
torque producing current, that is, regenerative operation.
This value is defined as a percent scaling adjustment to the Torque
Reference signal. For example a value of 5% will multiply the Torque
Reference signal by a factor of 1.05.

Backlash Reversal Offset

Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Required - P Set/SSV REAL 0 0 Position Units

The Backlash Reversal Offset attribute value is used to compensate for

positional inaccuracy introduced by mechanical backlash. Backlash
manifests itself when an axis is commanded to reverse direction. During
such a reversal there is a small amount of displacement of the motor that
does not translate to displacement of the load due to mechanical play in
the machine, for example, through the gearing or ball-screw. As a result,
there is an error in the control system's indication of the actual position for
the axis versus the true position of the mechanical load, that error being
equal to the lost displacement due to the mechanical backlash.
Compensation for this positioning error due to mechanical backlash can
be achieved by adding a directional offset, specified by the Backlash
Reversal Offset attribute, to the motion planner's command position
before sending to the drive.
Whenever the commanded velocity changes sign (a reversal), the Logix
controller will add, or subtract, the offset value from the current
commanded position. This causes the servo to immediately move the
motor to the other side of the backlash window and engage the load. It is
important to note that the application of this directional offset is
completely transparent to the user; the offset does not have any impact
on the value of the Command Position attribute. If a value of zero is
applied to the Backlash Reversal Offset, the feature is effectively
disabled. Once enabled by a non-zero value, and the load is engaged by
a reversal of the commanded motion, changing the Backlash Reversal
Offset can cause the axis to shift as the offset correction is applied to the
command position.

The initial friction compensation torque when the Start Speed condition is
met is given by the Friction Compensation - Static value. Friction
compensation shall remain active until the magnitude of the velocity

The Friction Compensation Breakaway Time attribute sets the amount of

equal to the Friction Compensation - Static value once the Friction

static friction.
After the Breakaway Time expires, the amount of added torque applied
by the friction compensation method ramps down to the value set by the
Friction Compensation – Sliding attribute. (The ramp rate is device
specific and not configurable). This constant non-viscous sliding friction
compensation torque is added to the speed dependent viscous friction
compensation torque (based on the Friction Compensation –Viscous

SLAT Min Speed/Torque Mode

In SLAT Min Speed/Torque mode (SLAT Configuration = 1) the drive
defaults to the state with speed control off (leftmost state) shown in the
figure below. In this state, the torque reference is the minimum, or Min
function, of the Velocity Loop Output or the Torque Command.
Min Mode

When used for SLAT control, an application dependent Velocity

Command is applied to the drive. When the motor's speed is
mechanically limited, this reference is at a level that results in saturation
of the velocity loop output. In this state, the 'Min' select operation selects
the smaller Torque Command value. The Velocity Error is positive in
value equal to the Velocity Command.
If the mechanical speed limitation is removed (example web break), the
motor accelerates and the Velocity Error becomes negative when the
motor speed exceeds the Velocity Command. At this time, an automatic
transition to speed control occurs and the Velocity Loop Output is
selected as the Torque Reference, regardless of the value of the Torque
Command. Coincident with the transition into speed control, a preset
operation will occur within the velocity loop. This preset will force the
velocity loop integrator to match the internal torque reference value, at
the time of the mode transition.
In Min mode the drive remains in speed control until the Velocity Error
exceeds the configured SLAT Set-point attribute value for a period of
time given by the SLAT Time Delay attribute. When these two conditions
are met, speed control is turned off and the 'Min' select operation
becomes active. This condition would occur if the mechanical constraint
was restored.

SLAT Max Speed/Torque Mode

For SLAT Max Speed/Torque mode (SLAT Configuration = 2) the SLAT
control operates similar to SLAT Min Speed/Torque mode, except that
the signs have changed to allow the feature to work in the negative
direction.
Max Mode

The active 'Max' select function will select the larger, or Max function, of
the Velocity Loop Output or the Torque Command. The Velocity
Command value is a negative quantity and so when the motor speed is

324 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
mechanically limited, the Velocity Error is a negative value, and the
Velocity Loop Output is a saturated (limited) to a negative value. The
Torque Command is also negative, but smaller in magnitude, so it
becomes selected by the 'Max' operation.
The forced transition to speed control occurs when the Velocity Error
value becomes positive such as when the mechanical limitation is
removed. A preset of the velocity loop's integral term occurs, as before.
When, by restoring the mechanical constraint, the Velocity Error
becomes negative again and less than the negated SLAT Set-point
parameter value for a SLAT Time delay, speed control is turned off and
the 'Max' select operation becomes active.

Velocity Limiter Extensions

Permanent magnet (PM) motor applications sometimes require drives to
provide extensions to the velocity limiter function to protect the drive
electronics and motor from potentially destructive overspeed conditions
when operating at speeds above the motor's rating. The Velocity Limiter
serves to protect the drive and motor when applied in these high speed
applications.

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 327

Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes

PM Motor Torque-Speed Curve

A generalized Torque-Speed curve for a PM motor is shown in the
following graph. The two curves shown define the continuous (Tc) and
peak torque (Tp) capabilities of the motor. PM motors typically specify a
'rated speed' (Sr) based on rated voltage and continuous torque and also
a 'max speed' (Sm) based on the maximum operating speed. Often the
specified rated speed and max speed for the motor are set to the same
value.

Field Weakening
PM motors can also be operated using a technique called "field
weakening" to extend the top speed capability of the motor. Field
weakening uses active current vector control to reduce the effective
magnetic field strength from the permanent magnets, enabling higher
speeds at the expense of lower torque production. While the use of field
weakening to significantly extend motor speed range is more common for
Interior PM (IPM) motors, the speed range of Surface-mount PM (SPM)
motors can be significantly extended as well. The following graph
illustrates the PM Motor Torque-Speed Curve with Field Weakening.

When the drive applies field weakening to a PM motor to reach higher

than rated speed, the drive's motor current vector control algorithm
effectively decreases the motor Ke. This reduces the resulting Counter
EMF (CEMF) voltage to be less than the DC bus voltage. However, if this
active current vector control is suddenly removed, the Ke value would
revert to the nominal value and the CEMF voltage would increase rapidly.
Active control of motor current is lost whenever the power structure is
disabled. So the concern is when the power structure is disabled with the

328 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
motor still spinning. This can be the case when the drive executes a
Category 0 Stop due to a control initiated Disable Request, a Major Fault
action, or a Safe Torque Off activation.
Three speed values are shown in the preceding figure. As defined in the
first figure, the rated speed (Sr) corresponds to operation at rated voltage
and continuous torque. This is the maximum continuous torque that can
be achieved without field weakening. SOV is the speed at which the CEMF
voltage from the nominal Ke would be equivalent to the maximum DC
Bus Voltage rating of the drive, or the DC Bus Overvoltage Limit.
If active motor current control is removed while the motor is operating at
speeds above SOV, the CEMF voltage results in a DC Bus overvoltage
condition that can damage the drive and, possibly, other drives sharing
the same DC Bus.
Sm is the absolute maximum operating speed of the motor based on
mechanical constraints. For a rotary motor, Sm would be given by the
Rotary Motor Max Speed attribute.
Major damage to devices connected to the DC Bus can occur when the
PM motor is allowed to run between SOV and Sm and the drive's power
structure is disabled.

Velocity Limiter Behavior Diagram

The following diagram shows the extensions that have been added to the
Velocity Limiter to help manage the inherent risks of high speed PM
motor operation. In addition to the existing Velocity Limit -
Positive/Negative attributes that can be used to limit the Velocity
Reference signal, two new limits have been defined based on SOV and Sm
defined above. Specifically, the PM Motor Rotary - Bus Overvoltage
Speed and PM Motor Linear Bus Overvoltage Speed attributes establish
an absolute limit on the Velocity Reference signal that corresponds to
SOV. This speed limit can only be exceeded if the PM Motor Extended
Speed Permissive attribute is set to True. The PM Motor Rotary Max
Extended Speed and PM Motor Linear Max Extended Speed attributes
establish an absolute limit on the Velocity Reference signal that
corresponds to Sm. The Velocity Limit function limits the Velocity
Reference signal to the minimum of these attribute values. The Velocity
Limit Source attribute indicates the source of the velocity limit.

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 329

Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
Through these extensions to the Velocity Limiter function, a drive that
supports field weakening can be configured to safely manage extended
speed operation, only allowing operation above SOV by setting the PM
Motor Extended Speed Permissive attribute. Systems that can run safely
above SOV are generally equipped with a DC Bus Regulator or a
Resistive Brake Module.

CIP Status Bit Descriptions

Bit Usage Status Condition Description

0 Required Local Control This bit is set if axis is taking command reference and
services from local interface instead of the remote
(CIP Motion) interface. This bit is based on the current
state of the Remote Mode bit of the Node Status
attribute.

1 Required Alarm This bit is set if the axis has detected one or more
exception conditions configured to generate an alarm.
This bit is clear if there are no current axis alarm
conditions.

2 Required/ DC Bus Up For a drive axis, this bit is set if the DC Bus has
XBD charged up to an operational voltage level based on
direct measurement and, if applicable, the Converter
Bus Up Status bit associated with external CIP Motion
converter) supplying DC Bus power to this device is
also set. If the Bus Configuration attribute is set to
Shared DC - Non CIP Converter the drive might also
check the status of its associated external Non-CIP
Motion converter. When a drive axis is in the
Pre-Charge state, the transition of the DC Bus Up
status bit from 0 to 1 initiates a state transition to the
Stopped State. Once set, the DC Bus Up bit is cleared
when the DC Bus voltage has dropped below an
operational voltage level, or the Converter Bus Up
Status bit associated with external CIP Motion
converters supplying DC Bus power to this device is
cleared.
For an AC/DC converter axis, this bit is set if the DC
Bus has charged up to an operational voltage level
based on direct measurement alone. When a converter
axis is in the Pre-Charge state, the transition of the DC
Bus Up status bit from 0 to 1 initiates a state transition
to the Running state for a Passive converter, or to the
Stopped state for an Active converter. Once set, the DC
Bus Up bit is cleared when the DC Bus voltage has
dropped below an operational voltage level,
independent of the state of the Converter Bus Up
Status bit.
For a DC/DC converter axis, this bit is set when the
primary DC Bus has charged up to an operational
voltage level based on direct measurement, the
Converter Bus Up Status bit associated with external
CIP Motion converters supplying DC Bus power to this
device has been set, and the DC/DC converter has
established all the secondary DC Bus voltage levels.
While the DC/DC converter axis is in the Pre-Charge
state, the transition of the DC Bus Up status bit from 0
to 1 initiates a state transition to the Running state.

3 Required/ Power Structure This bit is set if the axis power structure is energized
XGD Enabled and capable of generating motor flux and torque for a
drive axis, or regenerating power to the AC line for a
converter axis. The value of the Power Structure
Enabled bit is determined by the Axis State, and for
the drive axis, the configured Stopping Action
attribute value.
4 Required/ Motor Flux Up This bit is set if motor flux for an induction motor has
D reached an operational level. Transition of the Motor
Flux Up bit is initiated in the Starting State according
to the configured Flux Up Control attribute value. This
bit is only applicable to Induction Motor types.

5 Required/ Tracking This bit is set if the axis control structure is actively
XGD Command tracking the command reference from the motion
planner associated with a drive axis, or the bus
voltage setpoint of a converter axis, or the current
references of a track section axis applying force to
resident movers. The Tracking Command bit is directly
associated with the Running state of the Axis State
Model
6 Required/ Position Lock This bit is set if the actual position is within the
P Position Lock Tolerance of the command position.
7 Optional/ Velocity Lock This bit is set if the velocity feedback signal is within
PV the Velocity Lock Tolerance of the unlimited velocity
reference.
8 Required/ Velocity Standstill This bit is set if the velocity feedback signal is within
ED Velocity Standstill Window of 0. For a Frequency
Control drive this bit is set if the velocity reference
signal is within Velocity Standstill Window of 0.
9 Optional/ Velocity Threshold This bit is set if the absolute velocity feedback signal
ED is below Velocity Threshold. For a Frequency Control
drive this bit is set if the absolute velocity reference
signal is below the Velocity Threshold.
10 Optional/ Velocity Limit This bit is set if the velocity reference signal is
FPV currently being limited by the Velocity Limiter.
11 Optional/ Acceleration Limit This bit is set if the acceleration reference signal is
C currently being limited by the Acceleration Limiter.
12 Optional/ Deceleration Limit This bit is set if the acceleration reference signal is
C currently being limited by the Deceleration Limiter.
13 Optional/ Torque Threshold This bit is set if the absolute filtered torque reference
C is above the Torque Threshold.
14 Required/ Torque Limit This bit is set if the filtered torque reference is
C currently being limited by the Torque Limiter.
15 Optional/ Current Limit This bit is set if the command current, Iq, is currently
XD being limited by the Current Vector Limiter.
16 Optional/ Thermal Limit This bit is set if Current Vector Limit condition of the
XD axis is being limited by any of the axis's Thermal
Models or I2T Thermal Protection functions.
17 Required/ Feedback Integrity This bit, when set, indicates that the feedback device
RE is accurately reflecting changes to axis position, and
there have been no conditions detected that would
compromise the quality of the feedback position
value. The bit is set at power-up assuming that the
feedback device passes any power-up self-test
required. If during operation a feedback exception
occurs that could impact the fidelity of axis position,
the bit is immediately cleared. The bit remains clear
until either a fault reset is executed by the drive or the
drive is power cycled. Note that the Feedback Integrity
bit behavior applies to both absolute and incremental
feedback device operation..

18 Required/ Shutdown This bit is set when the axis is in the shutdown state
XBD or in the faulted state but would transition to the
shutdown state if the faults were cleared. Therefore,
the Shutdown bit is closely associated with the
Shutdown State of the Axis State Model.
19 Required In Process This bit is set for the duration of an active process. An
example of active process would be an operation
initiated by a Run Motor Test, Run Hookup Test, or Run
Inertia Test to request service. An active process that
requires the enabling of the axis power structure
results in a transition to the Testing State of the Axis
State Model.

 Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
Bit Usage Status Condition Description

20 Optional/ DC Bus UnloadThis bit is set by a CIP Motion converter, or a CIP

XBD Motion drive containing an integral converter, or a CIP
Motion drive connected to an external non-CIP
converter, to indicate that the converter cannot
continue supplying DC Bus power to other drives and
converters on a shared DC Bus. This is usually the
result of a shutdown fault action initiated by the drive
or converter, or a shutdown request from the
controller. When the DC Bus Unload bit is set, the
Shutdown bit (bit 18) in this case is also set. A start
inhibit condition can also set the DC Bus Unload bit.
When there is no AC Contactor Enable output to drop
the DC Bus, a method is needed to unload the
converter from all other drives and converters sharing
the DC Bus. By monitoring the DC Bus Unload status
bit, the control system uses the Converter Bus Unload
bit of Control Status to initiate Bus Power Sharing
exceptions on all enabled drives on the shared DC Bus
that are configured for Shared AC/DC or Shared DC
operation. This Bus Power Sharing exception invokes
the configured Exception Action that, by default,
disables the device’s power structure, thereby
unloading the bus. Upon receiving a Converter Bus
Unload, all disabled drives sharing the DC Bus shall
indicate a Converter Bus Unload start inhibit.
Unlike other devices, DC/DC converters configured for
Shared DC/DC operation on the shared primary DC Bus
do not assert a Bus Power Sharing exception when
receiving a Converter Bus Unload. Instead, DC/DC
converters cascade the Converter Bus Unload, sent by
the control system to devices on the primary bus, to
devices on the secondary DC Bus by setting its DC Bus
Unload status bit. The DC/DC converter remains
operational in the Running state to allow Shared DC
devices on the secondary DC bus to execute the
configured Bus Power Sharing exception action.
However, if the DC/DC converter itself experiences a
fault condition or a shutdown request, it sets the Bus
Unload bit, but all other devices in the Primary Shared
DC Bus remain operational.
Note that only the originating drive or converter with
the DC Bus Unload condition can cause Bus Power
Sharing Faults on other drives and AC/DC converters
on the associated shared bus. In other words, no
device with a Bus Power Sharing Fault can cause a
Bus Power Sharing exception on other devices on the
shared bus by setting its DC Bus Unload bit. This
qualification prevents DC Bus recovery deadlock. To
recover full DC Bus operation, the originating drive or
converter with the DC Bus Unload condition must first
be reset via a Shutdown Reset Request. Once clear,
the controller then clears the Converter Bus Unload bit
to all the shared drives and converters. The Bus Power
Sharing Faults on the shared drives and AC/DC
converters can then be successfully cleared by either
a Fault Reset Request, or a Shutdown Reset Request,
allowing
Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022these devices to become operational. 345

Bit Usage Status Condition Description

21 Optional/ AC Power Loss This bit is set when a CIP Motion converter, or a CIP
XBD Motion drive containing an integral converter, or a CIP
Motion drive connected to an external non-CIP
converter, has detected a loss of AC input power. This
bit is cleared when AC input power is determined to be
sufficient for converter operation.
When an AC Power Loss condition is detected by a
converter supplying power to other devices over a
shared DC Bus, a method is needed to generate a
Converter AC Power Loss exception on any drive
whose power structure is enabled. To accomplish this,
the control system monitors the AC Power Loss status
bits of converters supplying DC Bus power and
propagates AC Power Loss status to all drives on the
shared DC Bus, such as drives that are configured for
Shared AC/DC or Shared DC operation. Upon
notification of AC Power Loss, drives that have
enabled power structures will assert a Converter AC
Power Loss exception and invoke the programmed
Axis Exception Action. Disabled drives will not
generate an exception action on AC Power Loss. Thus,
no drive faults will occur on removal of AC Power from
a converter.
Unlike other devices, DC/DC converters configured for
Shared DC/DC operation on the shared primary DC bus
do not assert an AC Power Loss exception when
receiving a Converter AC Power Loss. Instead, DC/DC
converters cascade the Converter AC Power Loss, sent
by the control system to devices on the primary bus,
to devices on the secondary DC Bus by setting its AC
Power Loss status bit and, thereby, initiating AC Power
Loss exceptions on all enabled Shared DC devices
assigned to the secondary Shared DC Bus. The DC/DC
converter remains operational in the Running state to
allow Shared DC devices on the secondary DC bus to
execute the configured AC Power Loss exception
action.
Note that only the originating drive or converter with
the AC Power Loss condition can cause AC Power Loss
Faults on other drives on the associated shared bus. In
other words, no device with an AC Power Loss Fault
can cause an AC Power Loss exception on other drives
on the shared bus by setting its AC Power Loss bit.
This qualification prevents DC Bus recovery deadlock.
To recover full DC Bus operation, the originating drive
or converter with the AC Power Loss condition must
first be reset, typically via a Shutdown Reset Request.
Once clear, the controller then clears the Converter AC
Power Loss bit to all the shared drives. The AC Power
Loss Faults on the shared drives can then be
successfully cleared by either a Fault Reset Request,
or a Shutdown Reset Request, allowing these drives to
become operational.

These are the event related attributes associated with a Motion Control
Event Capture Attributes Axis. These include registration, marker, and homing events. The Event
Capture attributes are designed to support the possibility of up to 7 active
events per controller update period. The basis for all Time Stamp
attributes is absolute System Time and follows the CIP Sync standard
with 0 corresponding to January 1, 1970. Within the Logix controller, the
System Time for event time stamps are converted to the local CST by
applying the local System Time Offset to the event time stamp. In
general, these event related attributes are only applicable when there is
an associated position feedback device; if the axis is configured for

Encoderless or Sensorless operation, the event functionality is not
applicable.
The Motion Control Axis supports two independent registration input
channels per device axis instance that can be triggered on either the
rising or falling edges of the signal. If the device hardware
implementation allows, event time and position data can be captured for
all four event conditions simultaneously. The Event Capture attributes
also support Auto-rearm for registration events. This allows for controller
implementation of important features like Windowed Registration and
Registration Pattern Recognition.
The Motion Control Axis also supports Home Switch, Marker and
Switch-Marker events for homing functionality on a per axis basis. The
Marker events are typically generated by the configured position
feedback device for the associated device axis.

The Inverter Overload Action attribute selects the device's response to

based overload protection method. When an inverter thermal model is
employed, the inverter overload condition occurs when the inverter
thermal model indicates that the Inverter Capacity has exceeded the

The Inverter Overload Action provides opportunities to mitigate the

Inverter Overload Action functionality is independent of the inverter
overload exception action functionality.
An overload alarm condition can also be generated by exceeding the
limits of the device’s power block thermal model that includes switching
losses that have a dependency on the PWM Frequency.
No explicit action is taken by the device in the overload condition if None
is the selected overload action. Selecting the Current Foldback action,
however, results in a reduction of the inverter current in proportion to the
percentage difference between Inverter Capacity and the Inverter
Overload Limit, or in the case of the I2T overload protection method, in
proportion to the difference between the inverter current, in percent of
rated continuous inverter current, and the Inverter Overload Limit.
If an inverter overload condition occurs due to the power block thermal
model, two additional overload actions can be applied. Selecting Reduce
PWM Rate can be used to reduce heat generated by switching losses in
the inverter power structure. When PWM –Foldback is selected the
device first reduces the PWM rate and then, if necessary, reduces the
Inverter Thermal Current Limit.

A Set or SSV to the System Damping attribute value calculates and

updates the System Bandwidth based on the current Drive Model Time
Constant value (DMTC) and then calculates and updates the applicable
loop gain attribute values. The System Damping attribute is designed to
be used to implement a single 'knob' Manual Tuning procedure.
A larger damping factor increases the ratio between the inner and outer
Loop Bandwidths. In general, the System Damping attribute controls the
dynamic response of the overall control loop.
• Position Loop Operation
If the drive is configured for Position Loop operation, the following
calculation is performed and the resulting value applied to the
System Bandwidth attribute:
System Bandwidth = 1/16 Damping Factor4 * 1/DMTC
• Velocity Loop Operation

calculation is applied:
System Bandwidth = 1/4 Damping Factor2 * 1/DMTC

A Set or SSV to the System Bandwidth attribute value calculates and

updates the applicable loop gain attribute values based on the current
System Damping (Z). The System Bandwidth attribute is designed to be
used to implement a single 'knob' Manual Tuning procedure. If the drive
is configured for Velocity Loop operation, the System Bandwidth is
equivalent to the bandwidth of the velocity loop. If the drive is configured
for Position Loop operation, the System Bandwidth is equivalent to the
bandwidth of the position loop. In addition to calculating and updating the
Loop Bandwidth attribute values, an update to this attribute also updates
the Integral Bandwidth attributes as well as the Feedforward attributes
according to the Gain Tuning Configuration Bits setting.
The following configurations impact the calculations for this attribute as
follows:
• Position Loop Operation
If the drive is configured for Position Loop operation the following
calculations apply:
Position Loop Bandwidth = System Bandwidth
Position Integer Bandwidth = 0.25 Damping Factor2 * System
Bandwidth
Velocity Loop Bandwidth = 4 * Damping Factor2 * System
Bandwidth
Velocity Integer Bandwidth = System Bandwidth
Velocity Error Tolerance = 2 * max(Max Accel, Max Decel) /

calculations apply:
Velocity Loop Bandwidth = System Bandwidth
Velocity Integer Bandwidth = 0.25/Damping Factor2 * System
Bandwidth

Velocity Loop Bandwidth (rad/s)
• Load Observer Configuration

If the Load Observer Configuration setting indicates the observer
function is enabled, the following calculations are performed:
Load Observer Bandwidth = Velocity Loop Bandwidth
• Gain Tuning Configuration
If the Gain Tuning Configuration bit for Tune Torque LP Filter is
set, the following calculation is performed:
Torque LP Filter BW = 5 * Velocity Loop BW.
The System Bandwidth value can also be updated through a Set service
to the Position Servo Bandwidth or Velocity Servo Bandwidth attributes
depending on Axis Configuration. If configured for Position Loop, System
Bandwidth is updated by a set to Position Servo Bandwidth. If configured
for Velocity Loop, System Bandwidth is updated by a set to Velocity
Servo Bandwidth. When derived from either of these attributes, no
calculations are performed; the System Bandwidth attribute value is
simply updated.
A Set or SSV to the System Bandwidth attribute also updates Position
Servo Bandwidth or Velocity Servo Bandwidth attributes depending on
Axis Configuration. If configured for Position Loop, the Position Servo
Bandwidth is updated. If configured for Velocity Loop, Velocity Servo
Bandwidth is updated.

Damping Factor
Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Required - Set/SSV REAL FD 0.5 2.0 -
GPV

The Damping Factor attribute value is used in calculating the maximum

Position and Velocity Servo Bandwidth values during execution of the
Motion Run Axis Tune (MRAT) instruction. In general the Damping
Factor attribute controls the dynamic response of the drive axis. When
gains are tuned using a small damping factor (such as 0.7), a step
response test performed on the axis would demonstrate under-damped
behavior with velocity overshoot. A gain set generated using a larger
damping factor (such as 1.0) would produce a system step response that
has no overshoot and works well for most applications.
A set to the Damping Factor attribute also updates the System Damping
attribute value to support Manual Tuning.

Type
Required - P Set/SSV REAL FD 0 Loop Bandwidth Units

The value for the Position Servo Bandwidth represents the unity gain
bandwidth of the position loop that is to be used by software Autotune

the frequency beyond which the position servo is unable to provide any
significant position disturbance correction. In general, within the

Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
constraints of a stable servo system, the higher the Position Servo
Bandwidth the better the dynamic performance of the system. A
maximum value for the Position Servo Bandwidth is generated by the
MRAT instruction. Computing gains based on this maximum value
software Autotune procedure results in a dynamic response in keeping
with the current value of the Damping Factor.
A set to the Position Servo Bandwidth attribute while configured for
Position Loop operation also updates the System Bandwidth attribute
value to support Manual Tuning.

Velocity Servo Bandwidth

Type
Required - PV Set/SSV REAL FD 0 Loop Bandwidth Units

The value for the Velocity Servo Bandwidth represents the unity gain
bandwidth of the velocity loop that is to be used by the software Autotune
function to calculate the velocity loop gains. The unity gain bandwidth is
the frequency beyond which the velocity servo is unable to provide any
significant position disturbance correction. In general, within the
constraints of a stable servo system, the higher the Velocity Servo
Bandwidth is the better the dynamic performance of the system. A
maximum value for the Velocity Servo Bandwidth is generated by the
MRAT instruction. Computing gains based on this maximum value using
the software's Autotune procedure results in a dynamic response in
keeping with the current value of the Damping Factor.
A set to the Velocity Servo Bandwidth attribute while configured for

The value for the Drive Model Time Constant represents a lumped model
time constant for the drive's current loop and is used to calculate the

Constant is the sum of the drive's current loop time constant, the
feedback sample period, calculation delay, and the time constant
associated with the velocity feedback filter. This value is set by software
based on the specific drive amplifier and motor feedback selection.
Since the bandwidth of the velocity feedback filter is determined by the
resolution of the feedback device, the value for the Drive Model Time

Loop Response
Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Required - GPV Set/GSV USINT 1 - - Enumeration:
0 = Low
1 = Medium
2 = High
3-255 = Reserved

The Loop Response attribute is used by configuration and auto-tune

software to determine the responsiveness of the control loops.
Specifically, configuration software uses the Loop Response attribute to
determine the value for the Damping Factor, Z, used in calculating
individual gain values. The Damping Factor value applied is based on the
enumerated Loop Response value according to the following table:
Loop Response Damping Factor
Low 1.5
Medium 1.0
High 0.8

A High setting for Loop Response is best suited for systems that demand
the highest level of control performance. Generally these are rigid
mechanical systems with relatively light load inertia/mass, for example,
Load Ratio < 3.

388 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
A Medium Loop Response setting is best suited for general purpose
control applications with modest loading, for example Load Ratio < 10.
This setting can accommodate both rigid and compliant mechanical
systems.
A Low setting for Loop Response is best suited for systems that control
heavy load inertia/mass, for example, Load Ratio > 10. The heavy load
inertia/mass of these systems generally required lower position and
velocity loop bandwidths to maintain stability and minimize motor
heating.
Overall system performance can be improved for a given Loop Response
setting by compensating for the load inertia/mass by setting the System
Inertia value to the Total Inertia of the mechanical system.

Load Coupling
Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Required - C Set/GSV USINT 0 - - Enumeration:
0 = Rigid

The Load Coupling attribute is used by configuration and auto-tune

software to determine how the loop gains are derated based on the
current Load Ratio. In high performance applications with relatively low
Load Ratio values or rigid mechanics, typically no derating is applied. For
applications with relatively high Load Ratios and compliant mechanics,
derating the loop gains based on the Load Ratio is recommended. The
derating simply divides the nominal loop bandwidth values by a factor of
the Load Ratio + 1.

Bits 4-7 may not be updated programmatically by SSV instruction unless
the Application Type is set to Custom.
The following table provides detailed descriptions for the bits of this
attribute:
Bit Name Description
Run Inertia Test This bit determines whether or not the MRAT tuning instruction will send
a Test Inertia service to the drive to perform an inertia measurement. If
this bit is set the Inertia Test will be performed. If the bit is clear, the
MRAT will immediately complete without an inertia measurement.

Use Load Ratio This bit determines if Load Ratio is used in calculating Total Inertia and
System Bandwidth calculations. If this bit is set, Load Ratio will be used
in these calculations. If this bit is clear, Load Ratio will not have any
impact on Total Inertia or System Bandwidth.
Tune Position Integrator The Tune Position Integrator bit attribute determines whether or not the
auto-tuning algorithm calculates a value for the Position Integrator
Bandwidth. If this bit is clear (false) the value for the Position Integrator
Bandwidth is set to zero, disabling the integrator.
Tune Velocity Integrator The Tune Velocity Integrator bit attribute determines whether or not
tuning algorithms calculate a value for the Velocity Integrator Bandwidth.
If this bit is clear (false) the value for the Velocity Integrator Bandwidth is
set to zero, disabling the integrator.
Tune Velocity Feedforward The Tune Velocity Feedforward bit attribute determines whether or not
tuning algorithms calculate a value for the Velocity Feedforward Gain. If
this bit is clear (false) the value for the Velocity Feedforward Gain is set
to zero.
Tune Acceleration Feedforward The Tune Acceleration Feedforward bit attribute determines whether or
not tuning algorithms calculate a value for the Acceleration Feedforward
Gain. If this bit is clear (false) the value for the Acceleration Feedforward
Gain is set to zero.
Tune Torque LP Filter The Tune Torque LP Filter bit attribute determines whether or not tuning
algorithms calculate a value for the Torque Low Pass Filter Bandwidth. If
this bit is clear (false) the value for the Torque Low Pass Filter Bandwidth
is not calculated or altered by the gain tuning algorithms.

Type
Required - C Set/SSV# REAL 0 0 maxpos Position Units

# Indicates the attribute cannot be set while the tracking command (Tracking Command bit in CIP Axis Status is

The Tuning Travel Limit attribute is used by the Inertia Test service,
associated with the MRAT instruction, to limit the excursion of the axis
during the test. If, while performing the Inertia Test motion profile, the
drive determines that the axis will not be able to complete the profile
before exceeding the Tuning Travel Limit, the drive will terminate the
profile and report that the Tuning Travel Limit was exceeded through the
Tune Status attribute. This does not mean that the Tuning Travel Limit
was actually exceeded, but that had the tuning process gone to
completion that the limit would have been exceeded.

Tuning Speed
Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Required - C Set/SSV# REAL 0 0 Position Units / Sec

# Indicates the attribute cannot be set while the tracking command (Tracking Command bit in CIP Axis Status is
true).

The Tuning Speed attribute value determines the maximum speed used
by the Inertia Test service initiated motion profile. This attribute should be
set to the desired maximum operating speed of the motor prior to running
the test. The tuning procedure will measure maximum acceleration and
deceleration rates based on ramps to and from the Tuning Speed. Thus,
the accuracy of the measured acceleration and deceleration capability is
reduced by tuning at a speed other than the desired operating speed of
the system.

Tuning Torque
Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Required - C Set/SSV# REAL 100 0 % Rated

# Indicates the attribute cannot be set while the tracking command (Tracking Command bit in CIP Axis Status is
true).

The Tuning Torque attribute value determines the maximum torque used
by the Inertia Test service initiated motion profile. This attribute will be set
to the desired maximum safe torque level prior to running the test. The
default value is 100%, which yields the most accurate measure of the
acceleration and deceleration capabilities of the system. In some cases a
lower tuning torque limit value may be desirable to limit the stress on the
mechanics during the tuning procedure. In this case the acceleration and
deceleration capabilities of the system are extrapolated based on the
ratio of the tuning torque to the maximum torque output of the system.
Note that the extrapolation error increases as the Tuning Torque value
decreases.

The CIP Axis Exception Action 2 attribute is a 64-element array of

enumerated bytes that specifies the action for the associated Rockwell
Automation specific axis exception.

See also
Axis Exception Action on page 410
The Axis Exception Action attributes are 64-element array of
Axis Exception Action enumerated bytes that specify the action to take by the device for the
associated standard or manufacturer specific exception, respectively.
For a given exception, certain exception actions may not be supported.
Attempting to do so results in an "Invalid Attribute Value" service error
code (0x09). Each device product must specify the available actions for
each exception that is supported. If a specific exception is not supported
by the device, the only valid exception action enumeration is
'Unsupported'. Attempting to write any other value to the element
associated with an unsupported exception results in an "Invalid Attribute
Value" service error code (0x09) that is generated while the project is
online with the controller. For drives that support Rockwell Automation
specific axis exceptions, the 64-element CIP Axis Exception Action - RA
and CIP Axis Exception Action 2 - RA arrays ares sent to the drive
device.

Axis Exception Action Definitions

Enum. Usage Name Description

0 Optional Ignore Ignore instructs the device to completely ignore the exception
condition. For some exceptions that are fundamental to the
operation of the axis, it may not be possible to Ignore the
condition.
1 Optional Alarm Alarm action instructs the device to set the associated bit in
the Axis Alarm word but to otherwise not impact axis behavior.
For some exceptions that are fundamental to the operation of
the device, it may not be possible to select this action or any
other action that leaves device operation unaffected.

2 Optional (XBD) Fault Status Only Fault Status Only instructs the device to set the associated bit
Required (E) in the Axis Faults word but to otherwise not impact axis
behavior. It is up to the controller to programmatically bring
the axis to a stop in this condition. For some exceptions that
are fundamental to the operation of the device, it may not be
possible to select this action or any other action that leaves
device operation unaffected. Converters (B) executing a Fault
Status Only exception action continue to supply DC Bus Power
and do not set the DC Bus Unload bit in Axis Status attribute
and therefore do not disable drives in the converter's Bus
Sharing Group.

3 Optional (FPV) Stop Planner Stop Planner instructs the drive device (D) to set the
associated bit in the Axis Faults word and instructs the Motion
Planner to perform a controlled stop of all planned motion at
the configured Max Decel rate. For some exceptions that are
fundamental to the operation of the device, it may not be
possible to select this action or any other action that leaves
device enabled.

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 411

Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
Enum. Usage Name Description

4 Required (XBD) Disable Disable action results in the drive device (D) both setting the
associated bit in the Axis Faults word and bringing the axis to
a stop based on the factory set "best" available stopping
method. This "best" stopping method includes both the
method of decelerating the motor to a stop and the final state
of the power structure given the expected level of control still
available. The level of axis control available depends on the
specific exception condition and on the configured control
mode.
The available deceleration methods are defined by the
Stopping Action attribute. (See the Stopping Action section
following this table for additional information.)
If the application requires exception action that is a more
severe stopping action than the factory set "best" method, the
controller will initiate that action.
If the application requires an exception action that is less
severe than the factory set "best" method, the controller will
configure the device axis instance for a Minor Fault exception
action and handle the fault directly. This may put device and
motor components at risk and is only be allowed by the device
when there is an opportunity for the device to remain
operational. This is important in applications where the value
of the product is higher than the value of the motor or device.
When the Disable exception action is applied to a converter
device (B), stopping action is not applicable (0 = No Action).
The final states of Disable or Shutdown for the converter are
applicable, however, with Shutdown executing the configured
Shutdown Action. In the Shutdown case, the DC Bus Unload bit
of the converter's Axis Status attribute is set to generate a Bus
Sharing exception on all drives in the converter's Bus Sharing
Group.
When multiple major faults occur with different stopping
actions, the most severe of the associated stopping actions is
applied, that is, the stopping action that requires the lowest
level of control functionality. This rule also applies to the
Stopping Action associated with a Disable Request.

5 Required (All) Shutdown While the final axis state after a Major Fault is the Major
Faulted state, the Shutdown Exception Action forces the
power structure into the Shutdown state, immediately
disabling the drive's power structure. If Shutdown Action is
configured to do so, this action also drops DC Bus power to
the drive's power structure. Therefore, the Shutdown action
overrides the drive's best stopping method. An explicit
Shutdown Reset is required to restore the drive to an
operational state.

Enum. Usage Name Description

255 Unsupported The Unsupported Exception Action is the value assigned to

Exceptions that are not supported by the device. Trying to
assign an Exception Action other than Unsupported to an
exception that is not supported by the device results in an
"Invalid Attribute Value" service error code (0x09).

Stopping action
Standard stopping actions, listed in decreasing levels of deceleration
control, are as follows:
1. Ramp Decel
2. Current Limit Decel
3. Coast
In general, the "best" stopping action is the most controlled deceleration
method still available given the exception condition.
The final state of the power structure in response to the Major Fault
exception action can be any one of the following states that are listed in
decreasing levels of control functionality:
1. Hold (stopped with Holding Torque)
2. Disable (stopped with Power Structure Disabled)
3. Shutdown (stopped with Shutdown Action)
The "best" final state of the power structure is the state with the most
control functionality still available given the exception condition.
In all these final states a fault reset must be executed before the axis can
be restored to enabled operation and commanded to move.
If a Start Inhibit condition is present at the time of the exception, the best
final state for the exception action can only be Disable or Shutdown.
The specific stopping action and final state associated with a given
Disable exception action is captured in the Axis Fault Action attribute that
is included in the Fault Log record. Axis Fault Action enumerations are as
follows:
Enumeration Description
Stop Action Enumerations 0 = No Action
1 = (reserved)
2 = Ramped Stop
3 = Torque Limited Stop
4 = Coast
State Change Enumerations 0 = No Action

 Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
These are the exception limit related attributes associated with a Motion
Exception Factory Limit Control Axis. Exception Limit attributes define the conditions under which
Info Attributes a corresponding exception is generated during motion axis operation
that has the potential of generating either a fault or alarm. They are
typically associated with temperature, current, and voltage conditions of
the device that are continuous in nature. Factory Limits (FL) for
exceptions are usually hard coded in the device and typically result in a
major fault condition. User Limits (UL) for exceptions are configurable
and typically used to generate a minor fault, or alarm condition. For this
reason, the User Limits are generally set inside the corresponding
Factory Limits. Note that the triggering of a User Limit exception does not
preclude triggering of the corresponding Factory Limit exception; the two
exception trigger conditions are totally independent of one another.

Rotary Motor Overspeed Factory Limit

Usage Access Data Type Default Min Max Semantics of Values

Optional - D Get REAL - - - RPM

Returns the Factory Limit for the Motor Overspeed Factory Limit
exception based on a factory set value determined by the Rotary Motor
Rated Speed or Rotary Motor Max Speed attribute values, or by
operational speed limits enforced by the drive vendor. The drive may take
the minimum of any of these values as the Factory Limit.
When PM Motor Rotary Bus Overvoltage Speed and PM Motor Rotary
Max Extended Speed attributes are supported and non-zero, the drive
uses these values to determine the Rotary Motor Overspeed Factory
Limit. The PM Motor Extended Speed Permissive value determines
which limit to apply. If the PM Motor Extended Speed Permissive is
False, the Rotary Motor Overspeed Factory Limit will be based on the PM
Motor Rotary Bus Overvoltage Speed. If the PM Motor Extended Speed
Permissive is True, the Rotary Motor Overspeed Factory Limit will be
based on the PM Motor Rotary Max Extended Speed value.
For Rockwell Automation drives, when PM Motor Extended Speed
Permissive is False, the Motor Overspeed Factory Limit = 1.25 * Bus
Overvoltage Speed, or the speed limit corresponding to the Bus
Overvoltage Factory Limit, whichever is less. When PM Motor Extended
Speed Permissive is True, the Motor Overspeed Factory Limit = 1.25 *
Max Extended Speed value.
The Operational Speed Limit on all Rockwell Automation drive products
is 600 Hz. The following formula is used to calculate the operational
speed limit:
Operational Speed Limit (RPM) = 590 (Hz) * 120 / Rotary Motor Poles

The following table defines a list of conditions associated with the Module
Fault Bits attributes. While the Module Fault Bits attribute is marked as
Required in the CIP Motion device implementation, support for each of
the individual fault conditions therein is left Optional. In this table the
terms motion module and motion device are used synonymously.
Bit Module Fault Device Node Fault Description
Name Name
0 Control Sync Fault - The Control Sync Fault bit attribute is set when the
Logix controller detects that several consecutive
connection updates from the motion module have
been missed. This condition results in the automatic
shutdown of the associated motion module. The
Logix controller is designed to "ride-through" a
maximum of four missed position updates without
issuing a fault or adversely impacting motion in
progress. Missing more than four position updates in
a row constitutes a problematic condition that
warrants shutdown of the motion module. This bit is
cleared when the connection is reestablished.
1 Module Sync Fault Control Connection The Module Sync Fault bit attribute is set when the
Update Fault motion module detects that several consecutive
connection updates in a row from the Logix
processor module have been missed or that an
update has been excessively late as determined by
the Controller Update Delay High Limit attribute
value. This condition results in the automatic
shutdown of the motion module. The motion module
is designed to "ride-through" a maximum of missed
or late updates without issuing a fault or adversely
impacting motion in progress. Missed or late update
that exceed the Controller Update Delay High Limit
result in the Module Sync Fault condition. This bit is
cleared when the connection is reestablished.
2 Timer Event Fault - The Timer Event Fault bit attribute is set when the
associated motion module has detected a problem
with the module's timer event functionality used to
synchronize the motion module's control loops. The
Timer Event Fault bit can only be cleared by
reconfiguration or power cycle of the motion module.
3 Module Hard Fault Hardware Fault If the Module Hardware Fault bit attribute is set it
indicates that the associated motion module has
detected a hardware problem that, in general, is
going to require replacement of the module to
correct.
4-6 Reserved -
7 Conn Format Fault Data Format Error This fault bit indicates that an error has occurred in
the data format between the controller and the
device. Format errors that generate this fault may
include: an unsupported connection format, a
connection format revision mismatch, an error in the
data transmission size, incorrect number of axis
instances.
8 Local Mode Fault - The Local Mode Fault is set when the controller is
locked in Local Mode operation.

 Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
Bit Module Fault Device Node Fault Description
Name Name
9 CPU Fault Processor Fault The Processor Fault bit indicates that the processor
associated with the device node has experienced a
fault condition or an excessive overload condition
that has tripped the associated processor watchdog
mechanism.
10 Clock Jitter Fault - The Clock Jitter Fault bit is set when there is
excessive clock jitter between the controller and the
motion device.
11 Cyclic Read Fault - The Cyclic Read Fault is set when the controller
detects a runtime error associated with the Cyclic
Read mechanism.
12 Cyclic Write Fault - The Cyclic Write Fault is set when the controller
detects a runtime error associated with the Cyclic
Write mechanism.
13 Clock Skew Fault Clock Skew Fault Clock Skew Fault bit indicates that the motion device
has detected significant difference between the
device's System Time and the controller's System
Time that prevented the device from switching to
synchronous operation after a time out period.
14 Control Conn Fault Control Connection The Control Connection Loss fault bit indicates that
Loss Fault the CIP Motion C-to-D connection from the controller
has timed out.
15 Reserved -
16 Clock Sync Fault Clock Sync Fault The Clock Sync Fault bit indicates that the motion
device's local clock has lost synchronization with the
master clock for an extended period of time (40 to 60
seconds) during synchronous operation. This fault
condition is an indication that the local IEEE 1588
clock has lost synchronization with the master and
was not able to resynchronize within the allotted
timeout (such as 40 to 60 seconds).
17 Logic Fault Logic Fault The Logic Fault bit indicates that an auxiliary logic
component (e.g. FPGA, or ASIC) associated with the
device node has experienced fault condition or an
excessive overload condition that has tripped the
associated logic watchdog mechanism.

18 Duplicate Address Duplicate Address The Duplicate Address Fault bit indicates that a
Fault Fault motion device node has been detected on the
network that uses the same Node Address as this
device node. For Ethernet, this address would be the
IP Address of the device.
19 System System Connection The System Connection Fault code indicates that the
Connection Fault Fault device has detected that the connection to a
networked device that this device depends on has
faulted or has been closed.

 Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
The CIP Axis Fault Log attribute is a structure that is used to implement a
running log of faults, complete with fault type, fault codes, and
timestamps. The elements of this structure is as follows:
The Fault Log Index points to the latest element in the Fault Log array.
Each element in the Fault Log array is called a Fault Log Record.
The Fault Log Length element indicates the number of elements in the
Fault Log array.
The Fault Type is an enumerated value indicating the type of fault
condition or fault clearing event to which the Fault Code applies.
The Fault Code indicates the specific fault condition or fault clearing
event that has occurred. For fault conditions (Fault Type != 0) the Fault
Code generally represents the bit number of the fault as defined in the
associated Axis Faults attribute. In the case of a Configuration Fault, the
Fault Code represents the Attribute Error Code. For fault clearing events
(Fault Type = 0) the Fault Code identifies the specific fault clearing event
that occurred. Possible fault clearing events are a module reset, a fault
reset request, a shutdown reset request, or a reset resulting from
opening or closing a CIP Motion connection. A Fault Code of 255 (0xFF)
indicates that a Fault Log Reset event occurred.
The Fault Sub Code is an enumeration used to provide additional detail
into the source of the fault condition. The enumeration is specific to the
associated Fault Code. For Configuration Faults, the Fault Sub Code
corresponds to the Attribute Error ID that generated the error condition.
The Stop Action element is an enumerated value that indicates what form
of stopping action the drive initiated in response to the fault condition.
The State Change element specifies what the final targeted state was for
the fault action.
The Fault Time Stamp represents the time at which the corresponding
fault was detected. The units of the time stamp are based on System
Time in microsecond units.
The CIP Axis Alarm Log attribute is a structure used to implement a
running log of alarms, complete with alarm type, alarm codes, and
timestamps. The elements of this structure is as follows:
The Alarm Log Index points to the latest element in the Alarm Log array.
Each element in the Alarm Log array is called an Alarm Log Record.
The Alarm Log Length element indicates the number of elements in the
Alarm Log array.
The Alarm Type is an enumerated value indicating the type of alarm to
which the Alarm Code applies.
The Alarm Code is indicates the specific alarm that has occurred. Alarm
Codes are based on the corresponding bit number of the alarm as
defined in the associated alarm attribute.
The Alarm Code indicates the specific alarm condition or alarm clearing
event that has occurred. For alarm conditions (Alarm Type != 0) the
Alarm Code generally represents the bit number of the alarm as defined
in the associated Axis Alarm attribute. For alarm clearing events (Alarm
Type = 0) the Alarm Code identifies the specific alarm clearing event that

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 449

Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
occurred. Since alarms are not persistent, the only alarm clearing event
is an Alarm Log Reset, which like the Fault Log Reset is given a Code of
255 (0xFF).
The Alarm Sub Code is an enumeration used to provide additional detail
into the source of the alarm condition. The enumeration is specific to the
associated Alarm Code.
The Alarm State element is an enumeration that indicates what the
current state of the associated alarm condition is. Alarm log entries are
created when an alarm condition sets (Alarm State = 1) AND when it
clears (Alarm State = 0).
The Alarm Time Stamp represents the time at which the corresponding
alarm condition was detected. The units of the time stamp are based on
System Time in use units.

255 (0xFF).
The Alarm Sub Code is an enumeration used to provide additional detail
into the source of the alarm condition. The enumeration is specific to the
associated Alarm Code.
The Alarm State element is an enumeration that indicates what the
current state of the associated alarm condition is. Alarm log entries are

The CIP Axis Alarm Source attribute is a 128-element array of 8-bit

unsigned integers representing the number of active Sub Code source
conditions for each possible CIP Axis Alarm. Multiple source conditions
can be active at any given time. These source conditions are identified by
their Alarm Sub Code. This attribute is used by the controller to determine
when to set, and when to clear, the associated CIP Axis Alarms bit.
The array index into this attribute corresponds to the CIP Axis Alarms bit
number (the Axis Alarm Code). The number of Active Alarm Sub Codes
is incremented whenever new active alarm source condition is posted to
the Alarm Log for a given alarm. The number of Active Alarm Sub Codes
is decremented whenever an active alarm source condition is cleared in
the Alarm Log for a given alarm.
After processing the Alarm Sub Code and incrementing or decrementing
the associated Active Alarm Sub Code counter, the state of the
associated CIP Axis Alarms bit is determined by the Active Alarm Sub
Code counter value. If the counter value is greater than 0, the CIP Axis
Alarms bit shall be set. If the counter value is 0, the associated CIP Axis

The array index into this attribute corresponds to the CIP Start Inhibits RA
bit number (the Axis Alarm Code). The number of Active Alarm Sub
Codes is incremented whenever new active alarm source condition is
posted to the Alarm Log for a given alarm. The number of Active Alarm
Sub Codes is decremented whenever an active alarm source condition is
cleared in the Alarm Log for a given alarm.
After processing the Alarm Sub Code and incrementing or decrementing
the associated Active Alarm Sub Code counter, the state of the
associated CIP Start Inhibits RA bit is determined by the Active Alarm
Sub Code counter value. If the counter value is greater than 0, the CIP
Start Inhibits RA bit shall be set. If the counter value is 0, the associated
CIP Start Inhibits RA bit shall be cleared.
Start Inhibit sources are identified by their associated Axis Alarm Sub
Code from the CIP Motion device. Multiple start inhibit sources for a given
start inhibit could, for example, come from different feedback channels,
or from different power structure instances.

Tamagawa (TG), Nikon (NK), and Stahl SSI (SL) are serial interface
protocols for encoders. Track Section (TS) and Track Mover (TM) are
applicable to track-based systems. The position feedback characteristics
of the track split between track sections and track movers. Section
electronics determine feedback resolution and the feedback range for the
Track Section component of the feedback electronics.
This section defines the minimal set of required attributes to support CIP
Motion device interchangeability. This guarantees that there is sufficient
parametric data provided by the controller for any CIP Motion compliant
drive to effectively interface to a wide range of feedback device types.
Multiple feedback device interfaces are currently defined by the Motion
Control Axis per axis to serve specific control or master feedback
functions. These feedback devices are accessed using their assigned
logical channels, for example, Feedback 1 and Feedback 2. Each logical
feedback channel is mapped to a physical feedback interface port of the
device, for example Port 1, and Port 2.

feedback device. Feedback 1 is always required for PM Motor
commutation.
When Control Mode is set to No Control for a Motion Control Axis,
different logical feedback channels can be used as the master feedback
source, for example, Feedback 1 and Feedback 2. Generally, Feedback
1 is used.
For Rockwell Automation devices Feedback 3 is used to provide a
redundant logical feedback channel for Feedback 1 while Feedback 4 is
used to provide a redundant logical channel for Feedback 2.
To minimize the length of the feedback attribute tables below, the letter n
in the generic Feedback n attribute name is used to specify the
associated feedback channel number. Valid channel numbers for open
standard feedback attributes of the Motion Control Axis are 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Attribute IDs are assigned based on the channel number. Support for
feedback interface channels 1, 2, 3 and 4 are optional in the device
implementation. If no feedback interface channel is present in the device
the associated set of feedback channel attributes are not applicable.
However, if hardware support for any of these feedback channels is
available in a given device, these attributes are clearly applicable in the
implementation and will follow the Usage rules. A Usage rule of 'Req - E'
or 'Opt - E' indicates that the attribute is generally applicable to all Device
Control Codes where the feedback channel itself is applicable, hence the
'E' for Encoder.
If a specific logical feedback channel, feedback n, is not applicable based
on the current feedback configuration, then attributes for feedback n are
not applicable; no feedback configuration attributes for that channel are
set by configuration software, nor are any such attributes sent to the drive
device. This table outlines these rules:
Feedback Configuration Feedback 1 Feedback 2
No Feedback No No

The Feedback n Type attribute Identifies the type of feedback interface of

the associated Feedback device channel. Drive support for any individual
feedback type is left to the discretion of the device manufacturer.
However, if a specific feedback type is supported, attributes associated
with that type are generally required in the implementation.
The “Integrated” Feedback Type is specified for CIP Motion compliant
devices with an integral feedback transducer function, for example, a CIP
Motion encoder.
In the case of a motor mounted feedback device, if Motor Data Source is
Motor NV or Drive NV, the Feedback 1 Type might not be known to the
controller but is known by the drive, so the drive can operate in this case
without specifying the Feedback 1 Type.
If the optional Commutation Startup Method attribute is not supported by
the device, or the Commutation Startup Method is set to From Feedback
Type, the Feedback 1 Type can be used to implicitly specify the
commutation startup method. For example, by selecting the Feedback 1
Type with or without UVW commutation signals the device applies the
UVW commutation startup method or the Self-Sense startup method,
respectively. In this case, UVW commutation signals can be derived from
UVW tracks integral to the feedback device or via separate Hall sensors
in the motor. All other Feedback 1 Type selections would apply the Digital
commutation startup method.

In the case of a motor mounted feedback device, if the Motor Data

The Feedback n Polarity attribute is an enumerated value used to

establish the direction of change in the feedback counter in response to
positive motion of the associated feedback device. Normal polarity is
defined as that which results in increasing feedback counts when the
feedback device is hooked up and moved in the positive direction
according to the devices published specifications.
Inverted polarity internally switches the polarity of the feedback
accumulator so that the feedback counts decrease when the feedback
device moves in the positive direction. This attribute can be used to make
the direction of travel agree with the user's definition of positive travel and
can be used in conjunction with the Motor Polarity bit to provide negative
feedback, when this feedback channel is used for closed loop control.

Type
Required - E Set USINT Default - - Enumeration
N/A for X Startup 0 = Incremental (R)
Method 1 = Absolute (O)
DB 2-255 = Reserved

The Feedback n Startup Method attribute determines how the device

applies the feedback count value during drive startup. In Incremental
mode, the device zeros the feedback count accumulator at power-up.
The first Actual Position value sent to the controller in the Cyclic Data
Block of the Device-to-Controller connection at power-up is zero. This is
an indication to the controller that the drive is power-cycled and the drive
axis needs to be homed to establish a machine reference position.
In Absolute mode, the device initializes the feedback count accumulator
at power-up to the absolute feedback position value read from the
feedback device. When the absolute position range of the feedback
device is less than the 32-bit signed integer representation of the
feedback count accumulator, the absolute position is sign extended to a
32-bit signed value. Digital AqB, and Sine/Cosine do not support
Absolute startup.

Some device vendors tie the Feedback Start-up Method to the Feedback

Required - Set/ SINT 0 - - 0 triggers an uninhibit.
All SSV 1 triggers an inhibit.
Setting to any non-zero value is
treated the same as a value of 1, and
results in the attribute being set to a
1.

Used to initiate putting an axis into the inhibit state.

This feature is designed for the following situations:
• To park an unused or faulted axis so that the application program
can continue to run without the unused or faulted axis.
• To allow a 'generic' application program to be developed for a
family of similar machines that may vary in axis count such that it
can be configured during runtime to match the configuration of the
specific machine.
The on-line inhibit process is an intrusive operation in that it impacts all
axes associated to the same motion module as the one being inhibited.
As such it is expected that the users will trigger this operation with the
machine in a safe, non-operating, state. The inhibit process includes
breaking connection to the associated motion module and then allowing
the module to be reconfigured with or without (depending if you are
inhibiting or un-inhibiting) this axis.
The inhibit/un-inhibit operation will also stop all motion on all axes
associated to the same motion module including breaking all gearing
relationships. This stop operation follows that of the shutdown fault
action; servo action is immediately disabled as is the drives power
structure. Unless some external form of braking capability is applied the
axis will generally coast to a stop.

Unique number assigned to axis on creation by configuration software.

The Axis ID is used by the Absolute Position Recovery feature during a
configuration software download to determine if a given axis is a new axis
or pre-existing axis. If the axis existed prior to the download, the
controller saves critical absolute position data associated with the axis
before continuing the download. Using the Axis ID, the controller is able
to match the saved absolute position data with the pre-existing axis and
recover absolute position. Using the saved data, absolute position will be
recomputed to account for any motion that occurred while the download
was in process or while power was off.

The Motion Control Signal Attributes associated with the axis provide
Motion Control Signal access to the current and historical position, velocity, and acceleration
Attributes information of the axis. These values may be used as part of the user
program to implement sophisticated real-time computations associated
with motion control applications.
Important: Configuration of Scaling page parameters is required for any attributes expressed in
position, velocity, or acceleration units to return meaningful values.

All Motion Control Signal Attributes support Direct Tag Access through
the Logix Designer application. Thus, a Motion Signal attribute may be

directly referenced in a program as <axis tag name>.<motion status tag
name>. For example, FeedAxis.ActualPosition.
To avoid the unnecessary processor effort associated with real-time
conversion of certain Motion Status tags that are not of interest to the
user, you need to explicitly activate real-time update of these attributes
using the Auto Tag Update attribute of the associated motion group. A
subset of the Motion Control Signal Attributes must have the Auto Tag
Update attribute enabled to perform scaling conversion. If disabled, the
tag value will be forced to zero. The following attributes are impacted:
• Actual Position
• Actual Velocity
• Actual Acceleration
• Master Offset
• Command Position
• Command Velocity
• Command Acceleration
• Average Velocity
The following are the signal attributes associated a Motion Control Axis:

The Actual Position attribute is the current absolute position of an axis, in

the configured Position Units of that axis. This value is based on data
reported to the Logix Processor as part of an ongoing synchronous data
transfer process which results in a delay of one Coarse Update Period.
Thus, the Actual Position value that is obtained is the actual position of
the axis one Coarse Update Period ago.

Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
Strobe Actual Position and Strobe Command Position attributes are used
to simultaneously store a snap-shot of the actual, command position, and
master offset position of an axis when the MGSP (Motion Group Strobe
Position) instruction is executed. The values are stored in the configured
Position Units of the axis.
Since the MGSP instruction simultaneously stores the actual and
command positions for all axes in the specified group of axes, the
resultant Strobe Actual Position and Strobe Command Position values
for different axes can be used to perform real-time calculations.
For example, the Strobe Actual Positions can be compared between two
axes to provide a form of slip compensation in web handling applications.

Start Position and Start Command Position

Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Required - FPV Get/GSV T REAL - - - Position Units

Whenever a new motion planner instruction starts for an axis (for

example, using a MAM instruction), the value of the axis command
position and actual position is stored at the precise instant the motion
begins. These values are stored as the Start Command Position and
Start Actual Position respectively in the configured Position Units of the
axis.
Start Positions are useful to correct for any motion occurring between the
detection of an event and the action initiated by the event. For instance,
in coil winding applications, Start Command Positions can be used in an
expression to compensate for overshooting the end of the bobbin before
the gearing direction is reversed.
If you know the position of the coil when the gearing direction was
supposed to change, and the position at which it actually changed (the
Start Command Position), you can calculate the amount of overshoot,
and use it to correct the position of the wire guide relative to the bobbin.

Average Velocity
Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Required - All Get/GSV T REAL - - - Position Units / Sec

The Average Velocity attribute is the current speed and direction of an

axis in the configured Position Units per second of the axis.
Unlike the Actual Velocity attribute value, it is calculated by averaging the
actual velocity of the axis over the configured Average Velocity Timebase
for that axis. Average velocity is a signed value with the sign indicating
the direction the axis is currently moving.
The resolution of the Average Velocity variable is determined by the
current value of the Averaged Velocity Timebase parameter, and the
configured Conversion Constant (feedback counts per Position Unit) for
the axis. The Average Velocity Timebase determines the length over

490 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
which the Average Velocity is computed. The greater the Average
Velocity Timebase value, the better the speed resolution, but the slower
the response to changes in speed.
The Average Velocity resolution in Position Units per second may be
calculated using this equation.

For example, on an axis with position units of inches and a conversion

constant (K) of 20000, an averaged velocity time-base of 0.25 seconds
results in an average velocity resolution of:

The minimum Average Velocity Timebase value is one Coarse Update

Period defined by the associated Motion Group Object.

The Actual Velocity attribute is the current instantaneously measured

speed and direction of an axis, in the configured axis Position Units per
second. It is calculated as the current increment to the actual position per
coarse update interval.
Actual Velocity is a signed floating point value—the sign (+ or -) depends
on which direction the axis is currently moving. Its resolution does not
depend on the Averaged Velocity Timebase, but rather on the conversion
constant of the axis and the fact that the internal resolution limit on actual
velocity is 1 feedback count per coarse update.

The Actual Acceleration attribute is the current instantaneously
measured acceleration of an axis in the configured axis Position Units per
second per second. It is calculated as the current increment to the actual
velocity per coarse update interval.
Actual Acceleration is a signed floating-point value. Its resolution does
not depend on the Averaged Velocity Timebase, but rather on the
Conversion Constant of the axis and the fact that the internal resolution
limit on actual velocity is 1 feedback count per Coarse Update Period2.

Watch Position

The Watch Position attribute is the current set-point position of an axis, in

the configured axis Position Units, as set up in the last, most recently
executed, MAW (Motion Arm Watch) instruction for that axis.

Registration 1 Position and Registration 2 Position

Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Required - E Get/ T REAL - - - Position Units
GSV

Two registration position attributes are provided to independently store

axis position associated with two different registration input events. The
Registration Position value is the absolute position of a physical or virtual
axis (in the position units of that axis) at the occurrence of the most recent
registration event for that axis.
This figure shows how the registration position is latched by the
registration input when a registration event occurs. The latching
mechanism can be implemented in the controller software (soft
registration) or, for greater accuracy, in physical hardware (hard
registration).

The Registration Latch mechanism is controlled two Event Control

instructions, MAR (Motion Arm Registration) and MDR (Motion Disarm
Registration).
The accuracy of the registration position value, saved as a result of a
registration event, is a function of the delay in recognizing the specified
transition (typically 1 µsec for hardware registration) and the speed of the

492 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

axis during this time. The uncertainty in the registration position is the
distance traveled by the axis during this interval as shown in this
equation:

Use the formula given above to calculate the maximum registration

position error for the expected axis speed. Alternatively, you can
calculate the maximum axis speed for a specified registration accuracy
by re-arranging this formula:

Registration 1 Time and Registration 2 Time

Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values

The Interpolation Time attribute is the 32-bit CST time used to calculate
the interpolated positions. When this attribute is updated with a valid CST
value, the Interpolated Actual Position and Interpolated Command
Position values are automatically calculated.

The Command Position attribute is the desired or commanded position of

a physical axis, in the configured Position Units of that axis, as generated
by the controller in response to any previous motion Position Control
instruction. Command Position data is transferred by the Logix Processor
to a physical axis as part of an ongoing synchronous data transfer
process which results in a delay of one Coarse Update Period. Thus, the
Command Position value that is obtained is the command position that
will be acted upon by the physical servo axis one Coarse Update Period
from now.
The figure below shows the relationship between Actual Position,
Command Position, and Position Error for an axis with an active servo
loop. Actual Position is the current position of the axis as measured by
the feedback device, for example an encoder. Position error is the
difference between the Command and Actual Positions of the servo loop,
and is used to drive the motor to make the actual position equal to the
command position.

Command position is useful when performing motion calculations and

incremental moves based on the current position of the axis while the
axis is moving. Using command position rather than actual position
avoids the introduction of errors due to the position error of the axis at the
time the calculation is performed.
Tag access supported but value is valid only when Auto Tag Update of
the Motion Group Object is enabled.

Strobe Command Position

Strobe Actual Position, Strobe Command Position and Strobe Master

Offset attributes are used to simultaneously store a snap-shot of the

MGSP (Motion Group Strobe Position) instruction is executed. The
values are stored in the configured Position Units of the axis.
Since the MGSP instruction simultaneously stores the actual and
command positions for all axes in the specified group of axes, the
resultant Strobe Actual Position, Strobe Command Position and Strobe
Master Offset values for different axes can be used to perform real-time
calculations. For example, the Strobe Actual Positions can be compared

Whenever a new motion planner instruction starts for an axis (for

example, using a MAM instruction), the value of the axis command
position and actual position is stored at the precise instant the motion
begins. These values are stored as the Start Command Position and
Start Actual Position respectively in the configured Position Units of the

the gearing direction is reversed.
If you know the position of the coil when the gearing direction was

Command Torque
Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type

The Command Torque attribute is the commanded torque in units of

percent Rated Torque of the motor. This tag value is transferred by the
Logix Processor to a physical axis as part of an ongoing synchronous
data transfer process. Unlike Command Position, Command Velocity,
and Command Acceleration, the Command Torque attribute is not
generated by the motion planner. Instead, the value may be written
directly by the application program.
Command Torque has no effect on the axis unless the axis is configured
for Torque Loop operation. In order for the this attribute's value to be
applied as the torque command, a Motion Drive Start instruction will be
executed, which in turn sets the Direct Torque Control Status bit of the
Motion Status Bits attribute. If this bit is not set, the Command Torque
value has no effect on axis motion. Only CIP Drive Axis data types
currently support this capability.

explicitly named the GearingLockStatus bit.
7 Homed Status The HomedStatus bit attribute is cleared at powerup or reconnection. The bit is
set to 1 by the MAH instruction upon successful completion of the configured
homing sequence. This bit would be later cleared if the axis entered the
shutdown state.
The HomedStatus bit is set by the MAH instruction upon successful completion
of the configured homing sequence. This bit indicates that an absolute machine
reference position has been established. When this bit is set, operations that
require a machine reference, such as Software Overtravel checking can be
meaningfully enabled.
The HomedStatus bit is cleared under the following conditions:
1. Download, Control power cycle, or Reconnection with Incremental Feedback
device.
2. Absolute Position Recovery (APR) fails with Absolute Feedback device.
3. Feedback Integrity bit is cleared by CIP Motion drive.
The HomedStatus bit is directly used by the control system to qualify the
Software Overtravel checking function. Thus, if the HomedStatus bit is clear,
Soft Overtravel checking will not occur even if the Soft Overtravel Checking bit is
set.
8 Position Cam Status The PositionCamStatus bit attribute is set if a Position Cam motion profile is
currently in progress. As soon as the Position Cam is complete or superseded by
some other motion operation, the PositionCamStatus bit is cleared.
9 Time Cam Status The TimeCamStatus bit attribute is set if a Time Cam motion profile is currently
in progress. As soon as the Time Cam is complete or superseded by some other
motion operation, the TimeCamStatus bit is cleared.
10 Position Cam The PositionCamPendingStatus bit attribute is set if a Position Cam motion
Pending Status profile is currently pending the completion of a currently executing cam profile.
This would be initiated by executing an MAPC instruction with Pending execution
selected.
As soon as the current position cam profile completes, initiating the start of the
pending cam profile, the PositionCamPending Status bit is cleared. This bit is
also cleared if the position cam profile completes, or superseded by some other
motion operation.
11 Time Cam Pending The TimeCamPendingStatus bit attribute is set if a Time Cam motion profile is
Status currently pending the completion of a currently executing cam profile. This
would be initiated by executing an MATC instruction with Pending execution
selected.
As soon as the current time cam profile completes, initiating the start of the
pending cam profile, the TimeCamPending status bit is cleared. This bit is also
cleared if the time cam profile completes, or superseded by some other motion
operation.

Bit Motion Status Description
12 Gearing Lock Status The GearingLockStatus bit attribute is set whenever the slave axis is locked to
the master axis in a gearing relationship according to the specified gear ratio.
The clutch function of the gearing planner is used to ramp an axis up, or down,
to speed in a gearing process (MAG with Clutch selected). During the intervals
where the axis is clutching, the GearingLockStatus bit is clear.
13 Position Cam Lock The PositionCamLockStatus bit attribute is set whenever the master axis
Status satisfies the starting condition of a currently active Position Cam motion profile.
The starting condition is established by the Start Control and Start Position
parameters of the MAPC instruction.
As soon as the current position cam profile completes, or is superseded by
some other motion operation, the Position Cam Lock bit is cleared. In
unidirectional master direction mode, the PositionCamLockStatus bit clears
when moving in the wrong direction and sets when moving in the correct
direction.
15 Master Offset Move The MasterOffsetMoveStatus bit attribute is set if a Master Offset Move motion
Status profile is currently in progress.
As soon as the Master Offset Move is complete or superseded by some other
motion operation, the MasterOffsetMoveStatus bit is cleared.
16 Coordinated Motion The CoordinatedMotionStatus bit attribute is set if any coordinated motion
Status profile is currently active upon this axis.
As soon as the Coordinated Motion is complete or stopped, the
CoordinatedMotionStatus bit is cleared.
17 Transform State The Transform State Status bit is set if the axis in involved in a transform. The
Status axis is in one of the coordinate systems specified in an active MCT instruction.
True will indicate the axis is involved in a transform, false will indicate it is not.
18 Controlled By The Controlled By Transform Status bit is set if the axis is under transform
Transform Status control. True indicates the axis is under transform control and false indicates it
is not under transform control. An axis under transform control cannot be
commanded to move.
19 Direct Velocity When the Direct Velocity Control Status bit is set, the axis speed is directly
Control Status controlled by the Direct Command Velocity value.
This bit is set by the Motion Drive Start instruction (MDS) and only applies to CIP
Drive axis types.
20 Direct Torque When the Direct Torque Control Status bit is set, the axis torque is directly
Control Status controlled by the Command Torque value.
This bit is set by the Motion Drive start instruction (MDS) and only applies to CIP
Drive axis types.
22 Move Lock Status The MoveLockStatus bit is set when the master axis satisfies the Lock Direction
request of a Motion Axis Move (MAM) Instruction. If the Lock Direction is
Immediate Forward Only or Immediate Reverse Only the MoveLockStatus bit will
be set immediately when the MAM is initiated. If the Lock Direction is Position
Forward Only or Position Reverse Only the bit will be set when the Master Axis
crosses the Master Lock Position in the specified direction.
The MoveLockStatus bit is cleared when the Master Axis reverses direction and
the Slave Axis stops following the Master Axis. The MoveLockStatus bit is set
again when the Slave Axis resumes following the Master Axis.

24 Jog Lock Status The JogLockStatus bit is set when the master axis satisfies the Lock Direction
request of a Motion Axis Jog (MAJ) Instruction. If the Lock Direction is Immediate
Forward Only or Immediate Reverse Only the JogLockStatus bit will be set
immediately when the MAJ is initiated. If the Lock Direction is Position Forward
Only or Position Reverse Only the bit will be set when the Master Axis crosses the
Master Lock Position in the specified direction.
The JogLockStatus bit is cleared when the Master Axis reverses direction and
the Slave Axis stops following the Master Axis. The JogLockStatus bit is set again
when the Slave Axis resumes following the Master Axis.
25 Master Offset Move The Master offset Move locks to master in the MDSC mode.
Pending Status
26 Master Offset Move The MasterOffsetMoveLockStatus bit is set when the master axis satisfies the
Lock Status Lock Direction request of a Master Offset Move executed using MAM instruction.
If the Lock Direction is Immediate Forward Only or Immediate Reverse Only the
MasterOffsetMoveLockStatus bit will be set immediately when the MAM is
initiated. If the Lock Direction is Position Forward Only or Position Reverse Only
the bit will be set when the Master Axis crosses the Master Lock Position in the
specified direction.
The MasterOffsetMoveLockStatus bit is cleared when the Master Axis reverses
direction and the Slave Axis stops following the Master Axis. The
MasterOffsetMoveLockStatus bit is set again when the Slave Axis resumes
following the Master Axis.
27 Maximum Speed The MaximumSpeedExceeded bit is set when the axis command velocity at any
Exceeded time exceeds the maximum speed configured for an axis. The bit will be cleared
when the axis velocity is reduced below the maximum speed.

The Axis Status Bits attribute is a collection of basic status conditions

associated with the axis. These represent key status conditions used by
the system in executing motion control instructions.
This table provides descriptions of the Axis Status Bits:
Bit Axis Status Description
0 Servo Action The ServoActionStatus bit attribute is set when the associated axis motor control
Status function is tracking command reference from the controller.
1 Drive Enable The DriveEnableStatus bit attribute is set when the power structure associated
Status with the axis is currently enabled. If the bit is not set then the power structure
associated with the axis is currently disabled.

502 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
2 Axis Shutdown The AxisShutdownStatus bit attribute is set when the associated axis is currently
Status in the Shutdown state. As soon as the axis is transitioned from the Shutdown
state to another state, the Shutdown Status bit is cleared.
3 Configuration The Configuration Update in Process Status Bits attribute provides a method for
Update in Process monitoring the progress of one or more specific module configuration attribute
updates initiated by either a Set Attribute List service or an SSV in the user
program. As soon as such an update is initiated, the Logix processor sets the
ConfigurationUpdateInProcess bit.
The bit remains set until the Set Attribute List reply comes back from the servo
module indicating that the data update process was successful. Thus the
Configuration Update In Process Status Bits attribute provides a method of
waiting until the servo configuration data update to the connected motion
module is complete before starting a dependent operation.
4 Inhibit Status The InhibitStatus bit attribute is set when the axis is in the inhibited state. This
bit can also be used to determine when an inhibit/uninhibit operation has been
completed (for example, connections have been shutdown, reconnected and then
the reconfiguration process completed). During the inhibit/uninhibit process this
bit will remain in the previous state and then once it completes it will be updated
to the new state.
5 Direct Control When the Direct Control Status bit is set, axis motion is driven by the Direct
Status Velocity Control and Direct Torque Control functions. In this mode, the Motion
Planner functionality is disabled. So if you attempt to move the axis with a Motion
Planner instruction, for example, MAM, MAJ, and MAG, a ran instruction error
occurs.
In Direct Control, you do not have to establish or maintain absolute reference
position. So, when you attempt to execute the MAH and MRP instructions, an
instruction error occurs.
When the Direct Control Status bit is clear, axis motion is controlled by the Motion
Planner. If you attempt to move the axis in this mode with a Direct Control
instruction, for example, an MDS, an instruction error occurs. This bit only applies
to CIP Drive axis types.
The illustration describes the following behavior.

The Direct Control Status bit is set by the Motion Drive Start instruction (MDS) and
once set, can only be cleared by executing an MSO instruction from the Stopped
or Stopping State. Similarly, once the Direct Control Status bit is cleared by the
Motion Servo On instruction (MSO), the bit can only be set again by executing an
MDS instruction from the Stopped or Stopping State.

Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
6 Axis Update Status The Axis Update bit indicates whether or not this axis instance was updated in
last execution of Motion Task. In general, axis instances are updated in Motion
Task according to their Axis Update Schedule. Thus, a given axis instance may or
may not be updated during Motion Task execution. When inspected as part of an
Event Task triggered by Motion Group Execution, the Axis Update bit can be used
to qualify program instructions based on whether or not the axis was updated by
the preceding Motion Task.

The Axis Fault Bits attribute is a collection of basic fault types associated
with the axis. Each valid axis fault type is assigned a bit in this word. Any
fault condition associated with a given fault type will result in the setting of
the appropriate fault bit.
Each bit in the Axis Fault Bits attribute represents a roll-up of the
associated fault types. One or more faults of a given fault type result in
the associated bit of the Axis Fault Bits attribute being set.
This table provides descriptions of the Axis Fault Bits:
Bit Name Description
0 Physical Axis If the Physical Axis Fault bit is set, it indicates that one or more fault conditions
Fault have been reported by the physical axis. The specific fault conditions can then be
determined through access to the axis data type specific fault attributes of the
associated physical axis.
For CIP Drive axis data types, Physical Axis Faults map to standard CIP Axis Faults
attribute or manufacturer specific CIP Axis Faults.
1 Module Fault The Module Fault bit attribute is set when one or more faults have occurred related
to the motion module associated with the selected axis. The specific fault
conditions can then be determined through access to the Module Fault attribute of
the associated axis. Usually a module fault impacts all axes associated with the
motion module. A module fault generally results in the shutdown of all associated
axes. Reconfiguration of the motion module is required to recover from a module
fault condition.
2 Configuration The Configuration Fault bit is set when an update operation targeting an axis
Fault configuration attribute of an associated motion module has failed. Specific
information concerning the Configuration Fault may be found in the Attribute Error
Code and Attribute Error ID attributes associated with the motion module.

3 Group Fault The Group Fault bit attribute is set when one or more faults have occurred related
to the motion group associated with the selected axis. The specific fault conditions
can then be determined through access to the Group Fault attribute of the
associated motion group. Usually a group fault impacts all axes associated with the
motion group. A group fault generally results in the shutdown of all associated
axes. Reconfiguration of the entire motion subsystem is required to recover from a
group fault condition.
4 Motion Fault If the Motion Fault bit is set, it indicates that one or more fault conditions have
occurred related to the Motion Planner function. The specific fault conditions can
then be determined through access to the Motion Fault attribute of the associated
axis.

occurred related to the embedded Guard Motion safety function. The specific fault
conditions can then be determined through access to the Guard Fault attribute of
the associated axis. Guard Faults are only applicable if the drive device is equipped
with "Hardwired" Guard Safety functionality.
6 Initialization The Initialization Fault bit is set when initialization of a CIP Motion device fails for
Fault any reason. Specific information concerning the Initialization Fault may be found
either in the standard CIP Initialization attributes or in the manufacturer specific
CIP Initialization Fault attributes associated with the CIP Drive axis data types.
7 APR Fault The APR (Absolute Position Recovery) Fault bit is set when during axis configuration
the system is not able to recover the absolute position of the axis. Specific
information concerning the APR Fault may be found either in the standard APR
Fault attributes or int he manufacturer specific APR Fault attributes associated
with the CIP Drive axis data types.
8 Safety Fault If the Safety Fault bit is set, it indicates that there is one or more fault conditions
have occurred related to the axis safety function. The specific fault conditions can
then be determined through access to the Axis Safety Fault attributes of the
associated axis. Safety Faults are only applicable if the motion device supports
"Networked" Safety functionality through a CIP Safety connection.

The Maximum Acceleration value is frequently used by motion

instructions, (for example, MAJ, MAM, and MCD) to determine the
acceleration rate to apply to the axis. These instructions all have the
option of specifying acceleration as a percent of the Maximum
Acceleration for the axis. This value is typically set to ~70% of the
maximum acceleration rate of the axis. This provides sufficient
'head-room' for the axis to operate at all times within the acceleration
limits of the drive and motor.
The Maximum Deceleration attribute value is frequently used by motion
instructions, (for example, MAJ, MAM, and MCD), to determine the
deceleration rates to apply to the axis. These instructions all have the
option of specifying deceleration as a percent of the Maximum
Deceleration for the axis. This value is typically set to ~70% of the
maximum deceleration rate of the axis. This provides sufficient
'head-room' for the axis to operate at all times within the deceleration
limits of the drive and motor.
Setting the Maximum Deceleration to zero with a SSV command will
generate a minor fault. Motion on an axis cannot start with a deceleration
of zero, so this value will not be accepted.

The Programmed Stop Mode attribute determines how a specific axis will
stop when the Logix processor undergoes a critical processor mode
change or when an explicit MGS (Motion Group Stop) instruction is
executed with its stop mode set to 'programmed'.
There are currently four modes defined for the Logix processor: Program
Mode, Run Mode, Test Mode, and Faulted Mode. Any mode change into
or out of program mode (prog - >run, prog->test, run->prog & test->prog)
will initiate a programmed stop for every axis owned by that processor.
There is a time-out period of 60 seconds applied to the programmed stop
process, after which the mode change will occur, even if motion on one or
more axes has not stopped. Each individual axis can have its own

Programmed Stop Mode configuration independent of other axes. Five
methods of stopping a given axis are currently supported.
Method Description
Fast Stop When the Programmed Stop Mode attribute is configured for Fast Stop, the axis is
decelerated to a stop using the current configured value for Maximum Deceleration.
Servo action is maintained after the axis motion has stopped.
Fast Disable When the Programmed Stop Mode attribute is configured for Fast Disable, the axis is
decelerated to a stop using the current configured value for Maximum Deceleration.
Servo action is maintained until the axis motion has stopped at which time the axis is
disabled, for example, Drive Enable disabled, and Servo Action disabled.
Hard Disable When configured for Hard Disable, the axis is immediately disabled, for example, Drive
Enable disabled, Servo Action disabled, but the OK contact is left closed. Unless the drive
is configured to provide some form of dynamic braking, this results in the axis coasting
to a stop.
Fast Shutdown When configured for Fast Shutdown, the axis is decelerated to a stop as with Fast Stop
but, once the axis motion is stopped, the axis is placed in the Shutdown state, for
example, Drive Enable disabled, Servo Action disabled, and the OK contact opened.
Recovering from the Shutdown state requires execution of one of the axis or group
Shutdown Reset instructions (MASR or MGSR).
Hard Shutdown When configured for Hard Shutdown, the axis is immediately placed in the Shutdown
state, for example, Drive Enable disabled, Servo Action disabled. Unless the drive is
configured to provide some form of dynamic braking, this results in the axis coasting to
a stop. To recover from the Shutdown state requires execution of one of the axis or
group Shutdown Reset instructions (MASR or MGSR).

Maximum Acceleration Jerk

The Maximum Acceleration Jerk attribute value is used by motion

instructions, for example, MAM and MAJ, to determine the acceleration
jerk to apply to the axis when the acceleration jerk is specified as a
percent of the Maximum. This value is only used by an S-Curve profile.
Setting the Maximum Acceleration Jerk to zero with a SSV command will
generate a minor fault. Motion on an axis cannot start with an
acceleration of zero, so this value will not be accepted.
Maximum Acceleration Jerk may be calculated in terms of a percent of
acceleration time spent while S-Curving.

The Home Mode attribute determines if:

• Homing actively moves the axis to generate the homing event
• An external agent generates a homing event by moving the axis
The Motion Axis supports active and passive Homing modes. Active homing is the most common homing procedure
for physical servo axes but does not apply when Axis Configuration is Feedback Only since it requires active control
of the axis. The Home Sequence attribute describes the available homing sequences for both active and passive
Homing modes.
Homing Mode Description
Active When active homing is chosen as the homing mode, the desired homing sequence is then
selected by specifying whether or not a home limit switch, a specified torque level, and/or
the encoder marker is used for this axis. Active homing sequences always use the
trapezoidal velocity profile with dynamics defined by Home Speed, Home Return Speed,
Home Acceleration, and Home Deceleration.
Passive Passive homing redefines the current absolute position of the axis on the occurrence of a
home switch, encoder marker, or home to torque event. Passive homing is most commonly
used to calibrate uncontrolled axes, although it can also be used with controlled axes to
create a custom homing sequence.
Passive homing, for a given home sequence, works similar to the corresponding active
homing sequence, except that no motion is commanded-the controller just waits for the
switch, marker, or torque events to occur.

Home Sequence Descriptions

Homing Sequence Types Description
Active Homing Active homing sequences employ trapezoidal jog velocity profiles to move the axis while waiting for a
homing event to occur.
Tip: Immediate home sequence types do not employ trapezodial jog velocity profiles.
When selecting Active Home Mode, the Home Sequence attribute uses a home limit switch, a home
torque level, or the feedback device marker for the homing events. The Home Direction attribute
determines the directional behavior of jog profiles with the homing sequence. Uni-directional and
Bi-directional determine if the jog is to reverse direction after detecting the homing event. Forward
and Reverse refer to the direction of the initial jog during the homing process.
Active Immediate Homing This is the simplest active homing sequence type. The axis actual position and command positions are
updated based on the configured Home Position.
Active Immediate Absolute During this sequence, the controller enables the drive and redefines the actual position and command
Homing position to the current position of the absolute feedback device. The Home Offset attribute is
applicable. If non-zero, the Home Offset applies to current command and actual position:
Current Position = Absolute Feedback Position - Home Offset.

 Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
Homing Sequence Types Description
Active Bidirectional Home to This active homing sequence is useful when an encoder marker is not available. When this sequence is
Switch performed, the axis moves in the specified Home Direction at the specified Home Speed and Home
Acceleration until the home limit switch is detected. The axis then decelerates to a stop at the
specified Home Deceleration and then moves in the opposite direction at the specified Home Return
Speed and Home Acceleration until the home limit switch is cleared.
When the home limit switch is cleared, axis position is immediately redefined to be equal to the Home
Position and the axis decelerates to a stop at the specified Home Direction.
If Home Offset is non-zero, then the Home Position will be offset from the point where the home
switch is cleared by this value. Once the axis decelerates to a stop at the specified Home Deceleration,
the controller then moves the axis back to the Home Position at the Home Return Speed and Home
Acceleration using a trapezoidal move profile.
If the axis is configured in Cyclic Travel Mode, the move back to the Home Position takes the shortest
path, for example, no more than ½ revolution. The axis behavior for this active homing sequence is
depicted in the following diagram:

If the controller detects that the state of the home switch at the start of the homing sequence is
active, the controller immediately reverses the homing direction and begins the return leg of the
homing sequence.
Neglecting the mechanical uncertainty of the home limit switch, the accuracy of this homing sequence
depends on the time uncertainty in detecting the home limit switch transitions. The position
uncertainty of the home position is the product of the maximum time for the control to detect the
home limit switch (~10 milliseconds) and the specified Home Return Speed. For this reason, the Home
Return Speed is often made significantly slower than the Home Speed.
For example, if a Home Return Speed of 0.1 inches per second (6 IPM) is specified, the uncertainty of
the home position is calculated as shown below:
Uncertainty = 0.1 Inch/Sec * 0.01 Sec = 0.001 Inch.

Homing Sequence Types Description
Active Bidirectional Home to This active homing sequence is useful for single turn rotary and linear encoder applications since
Marker these have only one encoder marker for full axis travel. When this sequence is performed, the axis
moves in the specified Home Direction at the specified Home Speed and Home Acceleration until the
marker is detected. The Home Position is then assigned to the axis position corresponding to the
marker location, and the axis decelerates to a stop at the specified Home Deceleration.
If Home Offset is non-zero, then the Home Position will be offset from the point where the marker is
detected by this value. The controller then moves the axis back to the Home Position at the specified
Home Return Speed and Home Acceleration using a trapezoidal move profile. If the axis is configured
as a Cyclic Travel Mode, the move back to the Home Position takes the shortest path (for example, no
more than ½ revolution). The axis behavior for this homing sequence is depicted in the following
diagram:

The accuracy of this homing sequence depends only on the time delay in detecting the marker
transition. The position uncertainty of the home position is the product of the maximum delay for the
control to detect the marker pulse (~1 microsecond) and the specified Home Speed.
For example, if a Home Speed of 1 inches per second (60 IPM) is specified, the uncertainty of the home
position is calculated as shown below:
Uncertainty = 1 Inch/Sec * 0.000001 Sec = 0.000001 Inch.

Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
Homing Sequence Types Description
Active Unidirectional Home to Unidirectional home is usually used when the physical axis cannot change directions.
Switch This active homing sequence is useful when an encoder marker is not available and either
unidirectional motion is required or proximity switch is being used.
When this sequence is performed in the Active Homing Mode, the axis moves in the specified Home
Direction at the specified Home Speed and Home Acceleration until the home switch is detected. If the
Home Offset is zero, the Home Position is assigned to the axis position at the moment that the limit
switch is detected and the axis decelerates to a stop at the specified Home Deceleration.
If Home Offset is non-zero, then the Home Position will be offset from the point where the switch is
detected by this value. The controller then continues to move the axis to the Home Position at the
specified Home Speed and Home Acceleration using a trapezoidal move profile.
By setting a Home Offset greater than the deceleration distance, unidirectional motion to the Home
Position is insured. However, if the Home Offset value is less than the deceleration distance, then the
axis is simply decelerated to a stop at the specified Home Deceleration. The axis does not reverse
direction to move to the Home Position. In this case, the PC-bit leg of the associated MAH instruction is
not set when the IP-bit leg is cleared.
In the case where this homing sequence is performed on a cyclic axis and the Home Offset value is
less than the deceleration distance when the home event is detected, the control automatically adds
one or more revolutions to the move distance. This guarantees the resulting move to the Home
Position is unidirectional.

Active Unidirectional Home to This active homing sequence is useful for single turn rotary and linear encoder applications when
Marker unidirectional motion is required.
When this sequence is performed in the Active Homing Mode, the axis moves in the specified Home
Direction at the specified Home Speed and Home Acceleration until the marker is detected. If the
Home Offset is zero, the Home Position is assigned to the axis position at the moment that the marker
is detected and the axis decelerates to a stop at the specified Home Deceleration.
If Home Offset is non-zero, then the Home Position will be offset from the point where the marker was
detected by this value. The controller then continues to move the axis to the Home Position at the
specified Home Speed and Home Acceleration using a trapezoidal move profile.
The axis position is updated based on the Home Position and Home Offset. Even if the Home Offset is
zero, the position is updated. Zero is a valid number.
By setting a Home Offset greater than the deceleration distance, unidirectional motion to the Home
Position is insured. However, if the Home Offset value is less than the deceleration distance, then the
axis is simply decelerated to a stop at the specified Home Deceleration. The axis does not reverse
direction to move to the Home Position. In this case, the PC-bit leg of the associated MAH instruction is
not set when the IP-bit leg is cleared.
In the case where this homing sequence is performed on a cyclic axis and the Home Offset value is
less than the deceleration distance when the home event is detected, the control automatically adds
one or more revolutions to the move distance. This guarantees the resulting move to the Home
Position is unidirectional.

When this sequence is performed in the Active Homing Mode, the axis moves in the specified Home
Direction at the specified Home Speed and Home Acceleration until the home switch is detected. The
axis continues in the same direction at the Home Speed until the first marker event is detected. If the
Home Offset is zero, the Home Position is assigned to the axis position at the precise position where
the marker was detected, and the axis decelerates to a stop at the specified Home Deceleration. The
axis position is updated based on the Home Position and Home Offset.
If Home Offset is non-zero, then the Home Position will be offset from the point where the marker was
detected by this value. The controller then continues to move the axis to the Home Position at the
specified Home Speed and Home Acceleration using a trapezoidal move profile.

one or more revolutions to the move distance. This guarantees the resulting move to the Home
Position is unidirectional.
If the controller detects that the state of the home switch at the start of the homing sequence is
active, the controller immediately establishes the Home Position based on the current axis position,
and if allowed by the unidirectional motion constraint, begins to move to the Home Position.

Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
Homing Sequence Types Description
Active Home to Torque then Like the Home to Torque sequence, the Home to Torque then Marker sequence is applicable when a
Marker hard stop is used as the home position, as is common for a linear actuator, and the feedback device is
equipped with an encoder marker signal. The occurrence of the hard stop is detected when the
commanded torque applied to the motor reaches or exceeds the user specified torque level. Since the
Home to Torque sequence relies on the mechanical end of travel for operation, Uni-directional homing
will not be possible so only Forward Bi-directional and Reverse Bi-directional are allowed. A delay filter
is implemented in the drive to reduce any false/nuisance triggers when there is a spike in the torque
feedback upon enabling or jogging the motor under load.
By including the encoder marker in the homing sequence this is the most precise homing operation
available for torque level based homing. When this sequence is performed, the axis moves in the
specified Home Direction at the specified Home Speed and Home Acceleration until a hard stop is
detected, such as when the Home Torque Threshold is exceeded for a period equal to Home Torque
Time. The axis then reverses direction, first decelerating at the Home Deceleration rate, then moving
away from the hard stop using the Home Acceleration to reach the Home Return Speed, until the first
encoder marker is detected. Once the marker has been detected, the Home Position is calculated. The
axis then decelerates to a stop at the specified Home Deceleration and the controller restores
overridden drive attributes to their saved original values. If the calculated Home Position is not
beyond the hard stop, the axis moves to the Home Position at the Home Return Speed and Home
Acceleration and Home Deceleration using a trapezoidal move profile. Axis behavior for this homing
sequence is depicted in the following diagram:

Passive Immediate Home This is the simplest passive homing sequence type. When this sequence is performed, the controller
immediately assigns the Home Position to the current axis actual position. This homing sequence
produces no axis motion.
Passive Immediate Absolute During this sequence, the drive redefines the actual position and command position to the current
Homing position of the absolute feedback device. If non-zero the Home Offset applies to the current command
and actual position:
Current Position = Absolute Feedback Position - Home Offset.
Tip: The Servo On does not execute during the Passive Immediate Absolute sequence.
Passive Home with Switch This passive homing sequence is useful when an encoder marker is not available or a proximity switch
is being used.
When this sequence is performed in the Passive Homing Mode, an external agent moves the axis until
the home switch is detected. The Home Position is assigned to the axis position at the moment that
the limit switch is detected. If Home Offset is non-zero, then the Home Position will be offset from the
point where the switch is detected by this value.
Passive Home with Marker This passive homing sequence is useful for single turn rotary and linear encoder applications.
When this sequence is performed in the Passive Homing Mode, an external agent moves the axis until
the marker is detected. The home position is assigned to the axis position at the precise position
where the marker was detected. If Home Offset is non-zero, then the Home Position will be offset from
the point where the switch is detected by this value.

Bit Name Description
0 Master Delay By default, both the Position Camming and Gearing functions, when
Compensation applied to a slave axis, perform Master Delay Compensation to
compensate for the delay time between reading the master axis
command position and applying the associated slave command position
to the input of the slave's servo loop. When the master axis is running at
a fixed speed, this compensation technique insures that the slave axis
command position accurately tracks the actual position of the master
axis; in other words, Master Delay Compensation allows for zero tracking
error when gearing or camming to the actual position of a master axis.
This feature, while necessary in many applications, doesn't come without
a price. The Master Delay Compensation algorithm extrapolates the
position of the master axis at the predicted time when the command
position will be applied to the slave's servo loop. Since master axis
position is measured in discrete feedback counts and is inherently noisy,
the extrapolation process amplifies that noise according to the total
position update delay. The total position update delay is proportional to
the Coarse Update Period of the motion group.
The Master Delay Compensation feature also includes an extrapolation
filter to filter the noise introduced by the extrapolation process. The time
constant of the filter is fixed at 4x the total position update delay
(independent of the Master Position Filter Bandwidth), which again is a
function of the Coarse Update Period.
The Logix engine currently implements a 1st order extrapolation
algorithm that results in zero tracking error while the master axis is
moving at constant velocity. If the master axis accelerates or
decelerates the tracking error is non-zero and proportional to the
acceleration or deceleration rate and also proportional to the square of
the total position update delay time. Clearly, from both a noise and
acceleration error perspective, minimizing the Coarse Update Period is
vital.
In some applications there is no requirement for zero tracking error
between the master and the slave axis. In these cases, it may be
beneficial to disable the Master Delay Compensation feature to eliminate
the disturbances the extrapolation algorithm introduces to the slave
axis. When the Master Delay Compensation feature is disabled (bit
cleared), the slave axis will appear to be more responsive to movements
of the master, and run generally smoother than when Master Delay
Compensation feature is enabled (bit set). However, when the master
axis is running at a constant velocity, the slave will lag the master by a
tracking error that is proportional to the speed of the master.
Note that Master Delay Compensation, even if explicitly enabled, is not
applied in cases where a slave axis is gearing or camming to the master
axis' command position. Since the Logix controller generates the
command position directly, there is no intrinsic master position delay to
compensate for.

Bit Name Description
1 Master Position Filter The Master Position Filter bit controls the activity of an independent
single-poll low-pass filter that effectively filters the specified master
axis position input to the slave's gearing or position camming operation.
When enabled (bit set), this filter has the effect of smoothing out the
actual position signal from the master axis, and thus smoothing out the
corresponding motion of the slave axis. The trade-off for smoothness is
an increase in lag time between the response of the slave axis to
changes in motion of the master. Note that the Master Position Filter
also provides filtering to the extrapolation noise introduced by the
Master Delay Compensation algorithm, if enabled.
When the Master Position Filter bit is set, the bandwidth of the Master
Position Filter is controlled by the Master Position Filter Bandwidth
attribute, see below. This can be done by setting the Master Position
Filter bit and controlling the Master Position Filter Bandwidth directly.
Setting the Master Position Filter Bandwidth to zero can be used to
effectively disable the filter.

Minimum Range limits based on Coarse Update Period are ultimately
enforced for Master Position Filter Bandwidth attribute by clamping to
limit rather than generating a value out of range error. Only if the value is
outside the fixed Min/Max limits is an out of range error given. This was
done to avoid implementing complex range limit code based on the
Coarse Update Period in the Logix Designer application.

Planner to perform a controlled stop of all planned motion at
the configured Max Decel rate. For some exceptions that are
fundamental to the operation of the planner, it may not be
possible to select this action or any other action that leaves
the axis enabled.

stopping the motion planner, and bringing the axis to a stop
by disabling the axis. The method used to decelerate the axis
when there is a drive associated with the axis is the best
available stopping method for the specific fault condition and
is drive device dependent.
5 Shutdown Shutdown forces the axis into the Shutdown state, abruptly
stops the motion planner, disables any gearing or camming
operation that specifies this axis as a master axis, and
immediately disables the associated drive's power structure.
If configured to do so by the Shutdown Action attribute, the
drive device may also open a contactor to drop DC Bus power
to the drive's power structure. An explicit Shutdown Reset is
required to restore the drive to an operational state.

Soft Travel Limit Checking

Usage Access Data Type Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Required - E Set/ SSV USINT 0 - - 0 = No
1 = Yes

This attribute determines if the system should check for software

overtravel condition based on current settings for Soft Travel Limit -
Positive, and Soft Travel Limit - Negative.
When the Soft Overtravel Checking is set to true the motion planner
checks the current Actual Position of the axis and issues an exception
condition if the Soft Travel Limits in either direction are exceeded while
commanding motion in that direction. The travel limits are determined by
the configured values for the Maximum Positive Travel and Maximum
Negative Travel attributes. Soft Travel Limit checking is not a substitute,
but rather a supplement, for hardware overtravel fault protection that
uses hardware limit switches to directly stop axis motion at the drive and
deactivate power to the system.
If the Soft Travel Limit Checking value is set to false (default), then no
software travel limit checking is done by the planner. For CIP Drive axis
data types, Soft Travel Limit Checking has no affect if the Travel Mode is
configured for Cyclic (Rotary) operation.
Soft Travel Limit Checking has no impact until the Axis Homed Status bit
is set in the Motion Status Bits attribute; there is no point in checking
absolute position of the axis if an absolute position reference frame has
not been established for the machine.

The Soft Travel Limit - Positive attribute sets the maximum positive travel
limit for actual position when Soft Travel Limit Checking is enabled. If this
value is exceeded while commanding motion in the positive direction, a
Soft Travel Limit - Positive exception is generated.
The Soft Travel Limit - Negative attribute sets the maximum negative
travel limit for actual position when Soft Travel Limit Checking is enabled.
If this value is exceeded while commanding motion in the negative
direction, a Soft Travel Limit - Negative exception is generated.
This attribute provides configurable software travel limits through the Soft
Travel Limit - Positive and Soft Travel Limit - Negative attributes. If the
axis is configured for Soft Travel Limit Checking, and the axis passes
outside these travel limits, a Software Travel Limit exception condition
occurs. In the case of a controlled axis, when the axis is outside the travel
limits and no motion is being commanded or motion is being commanded
to bring the axis back within the soft travel range, the Soft Travel Limit
exception is NOT generated. This facilitates recovery from an existing
Soft Travel Limit condition. In this case, a Fault Reset can be executed to
clear the fault, allowing the axis to be enabled, and then simply
commanded back inside the travel limits. For an uncontrolled axis, such
as Feedback Only axis, a Soft Travel Limit exception is always generated
when the axis is outside the travel limits. In this case the axis must be
moved back inside the Travel Limits by some other means. Any attempt
to clear the Travel Limit fault in the uncontrolled axis case while outside
the travel limits results in an immediate re-issue of the Soft Travel Limit
exception.
When Soft Travel Limit Checking is enabled, appropriate values for the
maximum travel in both the Soft Travel Limit Positive and Soft Travel
Limit Negative attributes need to be established with Soft Travel Limit -
Positive value always greater than Soft Travel Limit - Negative value.
Both of these values are specified in the configured Position Units of the
axis.

Scaling selection configures the control system to perform the scaling
calculations in the controller. In this mode, the controller interacts with the
drive in terms of Feedback Counts or Motor Units, hence no scaling

The Drive Scaling selection configures the control system to perform the
scaling calculations in the drive device. In this mode, the controller
interacts with the drive in terms of Motion Counts or Motion Units and the

Scaling Calculations are performed by Logix Designer application
whenever the Scaling attribute values change. Scaling attributes are
defined as Position Scaling Numerator, Position Scaling Denominator,
Position Unwind Numerator, Position Unwind Denominator, Travel Mode,
and Travel Range. The purpose of the Scaling Calculation is to generate
the key Scaling Factors used to convert between the user defined
Position Units and the quantized Motion Count units used by the control
system. The set of Scaling Factor attributes consist of Motion Resolution,
Conversion Constant, and Position Unwind.
The specific Scaling Calculations performed by the Logix Designer
application depend on the Travel Mode setting as follows:
Cyclical Travel:
• Max Resolution = Int((2^31-1) * (Pos Scaling Num/Pos Scaling
Denom) / (Unwind Num/Unwind Denom))
• Base Resolution = Minimum (Default Motion Resolution, Max
Resolution)
• Motion Resolution = (Pos Scaling Num*Unwind Denom) * (10^(Int
(Log10(Base Resolution/(Pos Scaling Num*Unwind Denom)))))
• Conversion Constant = Motion Resolution * (Pos Scaling
Denom/Pos Scaling Num)
• Unwind = Conversion Constant * (Unwind Num/Unwind Denom)
Limited Travel:
• Max Resolution = Int((2^31-1) * (Pos Scaling Num/Pos Scaling
Denom) / Travel Range)
• Base Resolution = Minimum (Default Motion Resolution, Max
Resolution)
• Motion Resolution = Pos Scaling Num * (10^(Int (Log10(Base
Resolution/Pos Scaling Num))))
• Conversion Constant = Motion Resolution * (Pos Scaling
Denom/Pos Scaling Num)
Unlimited Travel:
• Base Resolution = Default Motion Resolution
• Motion Resolution = Pos Scaling Num * (10^(Int (Log10(Base
Resolution/Pos Scaling Num))))
• Conversion Constant = Motion Resolution * (Pos Scaling
Denom/Pos Scaling Num)
When Scaling Calculations are performed, Logix Designer application
sets the Scaling Source to "from calculator". If any of the Scaling Factor
attributes is changed directly by the user either through Logix Designer or
through programmatic access, Scaling Source is set to "direct entry". The
"direct entry" setting indicates that the Scaling Factors are no longer
consistent with the current Scaling attribute values.

determines how many Motion Counts there are in a Motion Unit. A Motion
Count is the fundamental unit of displacement used by the Motion
Planner and a Motion Unit is the standard engineering unit of measure for
motion displacement. Motion Units may be configured as Revs, Inches,
or Millimeters depending on the specific application.
All command position, velocity, and acceleration data is scaled from the
user's preferred Position Units to Motion Units for the Motion Planner
based on the Motion Resolution and Conversion Constant. The ratio of
the Conversion Constant to Motion Resolution determines the number of
Position Units in a Motion Unit as described using the following formula.
• Conversion Constant / Motion Resolution = Motion Units (revs,
inches, or millimeters) / Position Unit
Conversely, all actual position, velocity, and acceleration data from the
Motion Planner is scaled from Motion Units to the user's preferred
Position Units based on the Motion Resolution and Conversion Constant.
The ratio of Motion Resolution and the Conversion Constant determines
the number of Position Units in a Motion Unit as described using the
following formula:
• Motion Resolution / Conversion Constant = Position Units / Motion
Unit (rev, inch, or millimeter)
In general, the Motion Resolution value may be may be configured in
Motion Counts per Motion Unit independent of the resolution of the
feedback device(s) used. The drive's scaling function takes care of
scaling between Feedback Counts and Motion Counts. Providing a
configurable Motion Resolution value is particularly useful for addressing
Fractional Unwind applications where it is necessary to have an integer
number of Motion Counts per Unwind Cycle.

Configuration, Load Type, and Linear Actuator Unit (Lead Unit or

Travel Range Limit

Because the position parameters are sometimes internally limited to
signed 32-bit representation, the Motion Resolution parameter impacts
the travel range. In such a case, the equation for determining the
maximum travel range based on Motion Resolution is as follows:
• Travel Range Limit (in Motion Units) = +/- 2,147,483,647 / Motion
Resolution
Based on a default value of 1,000,000 Motion Counts per Motion Unit, the
range limit is 2,147 Motion Units. When the axis position exceeds this
value, the position accumulators roll-over, essentially flipping the sign of
the axis position value. Motion continuous smoothly through the roll-over
but the position values are obviously not contiguous. This is nominal
operation in Unlimited Travel Mode. While it is relatively rare for this
travel range limitation to present a problem, say in point-to-point
positioning applications, it is a simple matter to lower the Motion
Resolution to increase the travel range. The downside of doing so is that
the position data is then passed with lower resolution that could impact
the smoothness of motion. Selecting Limit Travel Mode sets the Motion
Resolution value close to the maximum value that complies with the
specified Travel Range of the application.

Fractional Unwind
In some cases, however, you may also want to specifically configure
Motion Resolution value to handle fractional unwind applications or
multi-turn absolute applications requiring cyclic compensation. In these
cases where the Position Unwind value for a rotary application does not
work out to be an integer number of Motion Counts, the Motion
Resolution attribute may be modified to a value that is integer divisible by
the Position Unwind value. This is done automatically when selecting the
Cyclic Travel Mode.

Cyclic Unwind Control

Required - Set BOOL - - - 0 = Non-Cyclic Operation (R)

Scaling 1 = Cyclic Operation (E)

When this Boolean attribute is set true (1), it enables the cyclic unwind
capability of the scaling function. This feature provides infinite positioning
range by “unwinding” the axis position whenever the axis moves through
a complete machine cycle. The number of Motion Counts per machine
cycle of the axis is specified by the Cyclic Unwind Position attribute.
Thus, if the axis is configured for Cyclic Operation, implementation of the
Cyclic Unwind Position attribute is required.
If the Cyclic Unwind attribute is false (0), indicating non-cyclic operation,
no “unwind” operation is performed, and unidirectional motion continues
to accumulate position and can eventually exceed the range of the
position representation resulting in a roll-over. For this reason, non-cyclic
travel is typically limited for position control applications.

the reverse direction, the Cyclic Unwind Position value is added to both
the actual and command position whenever the axis reaches or crosses
zero. Thus command and actual position values shall never be outside
the range of 0 and the Cyclic Unwind Position. To avoid accumulated
error due to round-off with irrational conversion constants, the unwind
value is represented as an integer number of Motion Counts per Cycle.

When the Motion Scaling Configuration is set to Drive Scaling, the CIP
Motion Connection interface and the drive control structure performs the
Motion Polarity. When the Motion Scaling Configuration is set to
Controller Scaling, the controller performs the Motion Polarity inversion.
To maintain directional consistency, the signs of all Signal Attribute
values read from the drive control structure or being written to the drive
control structure are determined by Motion Polarity. A comprehensive list

Motion Polarity also impacts directional position, velocity, acceleration,

and torque limit attributes. When the Motion Scaling Configuration is set
to Drive Scaling, inverting Motion Polarity requires that positive and
negative position, velocity, acceleration*, and torque limit values be both
sign inverted and swapped between the CIP Motion Connection interface
and the drive's internal control structure.
When the Motion Scaling Configuration is set to Controller Scaling,
inverting Motion Polarity requires that positive and negative position,
velocity, acceleration, and torque limit attribute values in Motion Control
Axis Object be inverted and swapped with the corresponding attributes in
the Motion Device Axis Object. For example entering a Velocity Limit –
Positive value in the controller of 100 revs/sec would result in a "Velocity
Limit – Negative" value of -100 revs/sec in the drive device.
A comprehensive list of these Directional Limit Attributes and their
access rules is defined in the following table:
ID Access Rule Attribute Name

* Acceleration and Deceleration Limits are unsigned positive values and, therefore, do not need to be sign

Position Units
Usage Access Data Type Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Required - All Set STRING "Position - - "Revs"
Units"

The Position Units string attribute allows user-defined engineering units

rather than "counts" to be used for measuring and programming all
motion-related values (position, velocity, acceleration, etc). Position
Units can be different for each axis and should be chosen for maximum
ease of use in the machine application. For example, linear axes might
use Position Units of "Inches", "Meters", or "mm" while rotary axes might
use Position Units of "Revs" or "Degrees".

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 545

Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
The Position Units attribute can support an ASCII text string of up to 32
characters. This string is used by Logix Designer application in the axis
configuration dialogs to request values for motion-related parameters in
the specified Position Units. In this case, the software limits the maximum
string length to 15 characters.

This attribute determines the period of time over which the system
computes Average Velocity for this axis instance.
Range limits based on coarse update period and history array size are
ultimately enforced for Average Velocity Timebase attribute by clamping
to limit rather than generating a value out of range error. Only if the value
is outside the fixed Min/Max limits is an out of range error given.

This attribute is used as a scaling factor allowing axis position, velocity,

and acceleration attributes to be displayed or configured in the user's
preferred units specified by the Position Unit string attribute. Specifically,
the Conversion Constant, is used by the motion system to scale the axis
position units into motion planner counts and vice versa. The Conversion
Constant represents the number of counts of the motion planner per
Position Unit.

unwind of the cyclic axis' position. Electronic unwind operation provides
infinite position range for cyclic axes by subtracting the position unwind
value from both the actual and command position every time the axis
completes a machine cycle. To avoid accumulated error due to round-off
with irrational conversion constants, the unwind value is expressed as an
integer number of feedback counts per cycle.

Motion Resolution Value Examples on page 547
Motion Resolution is one of the Motion Scaling attributes. These
Motion Resolution Value examples demonstrate how the Motion Resolution value may be used
Examples together with the Conversion Constant to handle various machine
applications.

Direct-Drive Rotary Shear Application

In this mechanical configuration a rotary motor is directly driving a rotary
shear drum equipped with three knives to cut a product to specified
length, thus producing three products per revolution of the output shaft.
Because the default Motion Resolution value is 1,000,000 Motion
Counts/Motor Rev and the user's Position Unit is, say, Products, the
Conversion Constant would be 1,000,000/3 Motion Counts/Product. This
is particularly problematic when configured to perform an Unwind
operation every product cut cycle where a 1/3 count error would
accumulate with every cycle. But, because Motion Resolution is
configurable, you can simply set the Motion Resolution to 300,000 Motion
Counts/Motor Rev and the Conversion Constant could then be set to
100,000 Motion Counts/Motor Rev, and a Rotary Unwind value of
100,000 Motion Counts/Cycle.
Because the Conversion Constant is now a clean rational number, this
system scales without any loss of mechanical precision, for example, a
move of three Products would move the output shaft exactly one
revolution. By setting the Travel Mode to Cyclic, entering Position Scaling
of three Products per Motor Rev, and a Position Unwind value of one
Product per Cycle, appropriate values for scaling factors, Motion
Resolution, Conversion Constant, and Rotary Unwind are automatically
calculated.
The control system is responsible for scaling Motion Counts into
equivalent Motor Feedback Counts. In this case, because the motor is
directly coupled to the load, one rotation of the shearing drum translates
to one revolution of the motor feedback device. Assuming that the motor
feedback device is a typical optical encoder with 4000 Feedback
Counts/rev, a displacement of 300,000 Motion Counts would be scaled
by the control system to be 4000 Feedback Counts.

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 547

Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes

Rotary Shear Application with Gearbox

Instead of the motor directly driving the rotary shear drum, in this
application example the motor is driving the shearing drum through a 3:1
gearbox. Since the Motion Unit is tied to the load, for example, Load Rev,
the Motion Resolution, Conversion Constant, and Rotary Unwind
determined in the example above apply equally well to this application.
The scaling of Motion Counts to Motor Feedback Counts, however, is not
the same due to the presence of the gearbox. In this case, one revolution
of the shearing mechanism translates to three revolutions of the motor.
Nevertheless, the control system has a count scaling feature that
performs this scaling automatically. This is done by selecting a Rotary
Transmission as the Load Type, and setting the Transmission Ratio
Output to 1, and the Transmission Ratio Input to 3. In this way, 300,000
Motion Counts per Load Rev is scaled exactly to 12,000 Motor Feedback
Counts, or three Motor Revs.

Rotary Motor with Gearbox/Ball-Screw Application

Because this is a linear application, Motion Resolution would be
expressed as Motion Counts per Load millimeter m or Load inch, in this
case, say millimeter.
The motor feedback would, however, be rotary and resolution expressed
in Motor Feedback Counts per Motor Rev, in our case 4000 Feedback
Counts per Motor Rev. The default Motion Resolution is 1,000,000
Motion Counts per millimeter and if the Position Unit is, say, centimeters,
the Conversion Constant would be 10,000,000 Motion Counts per
centimeter. This would be automatically calculated by entering a Position
Scaling of 1 centimeter per 10 millimeters.
Given that our application uses a 4:1 gearbox and a 5 mm pitch
ball-screw, 5 mm of ball-screw travel translates to 4 revolutions of the
motor, or 16,000 Feedback Counts. Again, the control system's
count-scaling feature performs this scaling automatically. This is done by
selecting Linear Actuator as the Load Type, setting the Transmission
Ratio Output to 1, and the Transmission Ratio Input to 4, setting the
Actuator Type to be "Screw", and the Lead to 5 mm/rev. In this way,
5,000,000 Motion Counts, or 5 mm worth of screw displacement, is
scaled exactly to 16,000 Motor Feedback Counts, or exactly 4 Motor
Revs.

The Linear Motor Max Speed attribute is a floating point value that
specifies the absolute maximum operating speed of a linear motor in
units of m/s. This speed may be determined by the limitations of the
motor, limitations of the drive power structure, or by limitations of the
mechanical system, whichever is less. Specifically, this value can
represent the maximum safe operating speed, maximum continuous

Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
• Datasheet implies that the motor configuration attributes are
entered by the user from a motor datasheet or from motor
nameplate data.
• Database means that configuration software pulls the motor data
from a motor database based on catalog number during the drive
configuration process.
• Drive NV implies that the motor attributes are derived directly from
the drive's nonvolatile memory. In this mode, only a minimal set of
motor and motor feedback (Feedback 1) are required to configure
the drive.
• Motor NV implies that the motor attributes are derived from
non-volatile memory of a motor-mounted smart feedback device
equipped with a serial interface. Again, in this mode, only a
minimal set of motor and motor feedback (Feedback 1) are
required to configure the drive.
In both Drive NV and Motor NV cases, the specific motor and motor
feedback attributes that are sent or not sent to the drive during
configuration are identified in the CIP Drive Set Attr Update Bits attribute
table.
Motor and motor feedback attributes sent to the drive device in Drive NV
or Motor NV are merely to confirm that the controller and the drive have
the agreement on the values of attributes critical to scaling operation. If
the NV attribute values in the drive differ from the values set by the
controller, the drive will reject the values with General Status indicating
an Invalid Attribute Value. The current list of motor and motor feedback
attributes sent to the drive in the NV modes are as follows:
1. Motor Unit
2. Feedback 1 Unit

The Motor Device Code attribute is a unique number assigned to a motor

mounted feedback device configuration data delivered from the controller
matches the actual motor and feedback data connected to the drive. This
comparison is only valid in the case where the Motor Data Source is
Controller NV and the motor is equipped with a smart feedback device
that positively identifies the motor.
If the device identified the attached motor prior to initialization, the
comparison can be performed as part of the Set service. In this case, if
the codes do not match, a negative acknowledge is given by the drive.

552 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
If the device has not determined the identity of the attached motor prior to
initialization, the comparison is done after initialization, in which case, if
the codes do not match, a Motor Not Configured start inhibit is generated
by the drive.
The motor manufacturer assigns the Motor Device Codes. A value of 0
for the Motor Device Code can be handled in one of two ways as
determined by the device vendor. A value of 0 can be accepted by the
drive without comparison.

The Motor Type attribute is an enumeration that specifies the motor

technology.
When Motor Type is set to Not Specified, all motor configuration attribute
values associated with the motor are considered Not Applicable and will
not be set by configuration software nor will they be sent to the drive.
If Motor Data Source is Motor NV or Drive NV, the Motor Type may not be
known to the controller but is known by the drive, so the drive can operate
in this case without specifying the Motor Type. In this case, the Motor
Type is not sent to the drive.
If Motor Data Source is Datasheet or Database, an unspecified Motor
Type, when received by the drive device during configuration, indicates
that the motor configuration has not been defined and therefore results in
a Configuration Fault indicating an Invalid Attribute Value.

The Motor Unit attribute is a unit of measure for motor displacement. This
attribute is also used for sensorless operation since the Feedback Unit in
that case is not known. Motor Unit selection is based on Motor Type.

Motor Polarity

DB 0 = Normal Polarity

* Indicates the attribute cannot be set while the drive power structure is enabled (Power Structure Enable bit in

The Motor Polarity attribute is an enumerated value used to establish the

direction of motor motion when the windings are phased according to
factory specification. Normal polarity is defined as the direction of motor
travel when the ABC motor winding leads are hooked up according to the
drives published specifications. Inverted polarity effectively switches the
ABC phasing to ACB so that the motor moves in the opposite direction in
response to a positive drive output.
You can use the Motor Polarity attribute to make the direction of travel
agree with the user's definition of positive travel. It can be used in
conjunction with the Feedback Polarity bit to provide negative feedback,
when closed loop control is required. When commutating a PM motor, it
is imperative that the commutation phase sequencing match the motor
phase sequencing to properly control the motor.

The Motor Rated Peak Current attribute is a floating point value that

constraints of the stator winding or the saturation limits of PM motor
magnetic material.

Motor Rated Output Power

Usage Access Data Type Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Required - IM Set/GSV REAL 0 0 Power Units
Optional - PM DB

The Motor Rated Output Power attribute is a floating point value that

current, speed and voltage.

Motor Overload Limit

Usage Access Data Type Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Optional Set/GSV REAL 100 0 200 % Motor Rated
DB DB

The Motor Overload Limit attribute is a floating point value that specifies
the maximum thermal overload limit for the motor. This value is typically
100%, corresponding to the power dissipated when operating at the
continuous current rating of the motor, but can be significantly higher if,
for example, cooling options are applied. How the Motor Overload Limit is
applied by the drive depends on the overload protection method
employed.
For induction motors, this attribute is often related to the Service Factor of
the motor. The Service Factor is defined in the industry as a multiplier
which, when applied to the rated power or current of the motor, indicates
the maximum power or current the motor can carry without entering an
overload condition.

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 555

Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
Regardless of the Motor Type, if the drive applies an I2T motor overload
protection method, then exceeding the specified Motor Overload Limit
results in an overload condition and activates I2T overload protection.
While the motor is overloaded, the Motor Capacity attribute value
increases to indicate how much of the motor's available I2T overload
capacity has been utilized. When Motor Capacity reaches 100% of its
rated capacity, the drive can optionally trigger a Motor Overload Action.
When employing an overload protection method based on a motor
thermal model, the Motor Capacity attribute value represents how much
of the motor's rated thermal capacity, associated with the motor thermal
model, has been utilized. Once the Motor Capacity value exceeds the
Motor Overload Limit, the drive can optionally trigger a predetermined
Motor Overload Action.
The Motor Overload Limit can also used by the drive to determine the
absolute thermal capacity limit of the motor, for example, the Motor
Thermal Overload Factory Limit, that if exceeded, generates a Motor
Thermal Overload FL exception.

PM Motor Extended Speed Permissive

Usage Access Data Type Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Optional - PVT Set/SSV USINT 0 - - Enumeration:
(PM Only) 0 = False
1 = True

The PM Motor Extended Speed Permissive attribute value determines

whether the speed of a PM motor is allowed to exceed the Bus
Overvoltage Speed. Setting this value to True removes velocity limit
protection against Bus Overvoltage conditions associated with Rotary
and Linear PM motors. In this case it is critical that Bus Overvoltage
protection be provided through a resistive brake module or DC bus
regulation device to avoid drive damage.
Specifically, the PM Motor Extended Speed Permissive determines if the
Bus Overvoltage Speed is applied to the velocity limiter function. The Bus
Overvoltage Speed is only applied to the velocity limiter if the PM Motor
Extended Speed Permissive is False.
The PM Motor Extended Speed Permissive value also determines the
values of the Motor Overspeed Factory Limit and Motor Overspeed User
Limit that provide overspeed protection. If the PM Motor Extended Speed
Permissive is False, the Motor Overspeed Limits will be based on the Bus
Overvoltage Speed. If the PM Motor Extended Speed Permissive is True,
the Motor Overspeed Limits will be based on the Max Extended Speed
value.

PM Motor Linear Bus Overvoltage Speed

Usage Access Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values

Optional - PVT Set REAL 0 0 m/s
(PM Only) FD

The PM Motor Linear Bus Overvoltage Speed attribute value

corresponds to the linear motor speed at which the back-EMF of the
motor equals the maximum operational bus voltage of the drive. When
the extended speed range of a PM motor is not permitted (PM Motor
Extended Speed Permissive is False), this value can be used to limit
motor speed to protect the drive from damage due to bus overvoltage
conditions that can occur when disabling a PM motor at high speed.
When configured for Position Loop or Velocity Loop operation, this bus
overvoltage protection includes limiting the magnitude of the velocity
reference value allowed into the velocity summing junction to the Bus
Overvoltage Speed Limit value using the velocity limiter function. If the
signal entering the velocity limiter exceeds this velocity limit value, and
the PM Motor Extended Speed Permissive is False, the velocity limiter
clamps the velocity reference to this value and sets the Velocity Limit
status bit. If the PM Motor Extended Speed Permissive is True, or the
value of this attribute is 0, this limit is not applied.
When the extended speed range of a PM motor is not permitted,
overvoltage protection is also provided through motor overspeed
detection based on the Motor Overspeed Factory Limit and Motor
Overspeed User Limit. Exceeding these limits results in a Motor

Speed attribute value can be used to limit the speed of a linear motor to
protect the motor or load from damage due to an overspeed condition.
When configured for Position Loop or Velocity Loop operation, this
overspeed protection includes limiting the magnitude of the velocity
reference value allowed into the velocity summing junction using the
velocity limiter function. If the signal entering the velocity limiter exceeds
this velocity limit value, the velocity limiter clamps the velocity reference
to this value and sets the Velocity Limit status bit. If the value of this
attribute is 0, this limit is not applied.
When the extended speed range of a PM motor is permitted, overspeed
protection is also provided through motor overspeed detection based on
the Motor Overspeed Factory Limit and Motor Overspeed User Limit.
Exceeding these limits results in a Motor Overspeed FL or UL Axis

This value corresponds to the rotary motor speed at which the back-EMF

When the extended speed range of a PM motor is not permitted, this
value can be used to limit motor speed to protect the drive from damage
caused from bus overvoltage conditions that occur when disabling a PM

signal entering the velocity limiter exceeds this velocity limit value, and
the PM Motor Extended Speed Permissive is False, the velocity limiter
clamps the velocity reference to this value and sets the Velocity Limit
status bit. If the PM Motor Extended Speed Permissive is True, or the

function is executed, the Axis Safety Status and Axis Safety Fault
information reported by these safety functions is the same. This is
achieved by the Safety Status Pass Thru feature where safety functions
executing in the safety controller transmit their fault and status
information to the drive via the Safety Output Assembly where this
information is combined with the fault and status information of safety
function executing in the Safety Core of the drive. The combined safety
function fault and status data is then "Passed Thru" to the associated
Motion Device Axis Object instance attributes.
The following table identifies the supported safety functions:
Short Name Full Name Control Drive Description
STO Safe Torque Off No Yes Disables associated drive power structure.
SBC Safe Brake Control Yes No Engages safety brake.

SS1 Safe Stop 1 Yes Yes Monitors Category 1 Stop followed by STO.
SS2 Safe Stop 2 Yes No Monitors Category 2 Stop followed by SOS.
SOS Safe Operating Stop Yes No Monitor standstill condition for movement.
SMT Safe Motor No No Monitor motor temperature for

SLT Safely-limited Torque No Yes Prevents the motor from exceeding the
specified torque limit.
SLA Safely-limited No No Monitor acceleration exceeding configured
Acceleration limit.
SLS Safely-limited Speed Yes No Prevents the motor from exceeding the
specified speed limit.

SDI Safe Direction Yes No Monitor for change in direction of travel.

SSM Safe Speed Monitor Yes No Monitor speed exceeding configured limit.
SLP Safely-limited Yes No Prevents the motor shaft from exceeding
position the specified position limit(s).
SCA Safe CAM Yes No Monitors whether the motor shaft position
is within a specified range.
SFX Safe Feedback Yes No Scales and references safety feedback
Interface data.

The Axis Safety State, Axis Safety Status, and Axis Safety Fault
attributes defined below are based on the values read from attributes
resident in objects associated with the Safety Core and are used by the
motion control system to monitor the behavior of the Safety Core via the

The Axis Safety State attribute is an 8-bit enumerated value that

indicates the state of the associated Safety Supervisor object of the
device as it applies to this axis instance. There is only one Safety
Supervisor object servicing the CIP Motion device so its state generally
applies to all applicable Axis instances of the device. This means that all
instances of this object generally have the same state for this attribute.
The two exceptions to this general state behavior are the Waiting for
TUNID with Torque Permitted (state=51) and Executing with Torque
Permitted (state=8) states that have axis specific qualification. When the
Safety Supervisor State is Waiting for TUNID with Torque Permitted, if
the Axis Safety Status bit, Safe Torque Disabled, is set, the Axis Safety
State is set to Waiting for TUNID. When the Safety Supervisor State is
Executing with Torque Permitted, if the Axis Safety Status bit, Safe
Torque Disabled, is set, the Axis Safety State is Executing.

The Axis Safety Status attribute is a collection of bits indicating the status
of the standard safety functions for the axis as reported by the embedded
Safety Core of the device. The Axis Safety Status word is a
concatenation of two 16-bit safety status attributes. The lower 16-bits are
the current Safety Stop Status attribute value of the Safety Stop
Functions object associated with this axis instance. The upper 16-bits are
the current Safety Limit Status attribute value of the Safety Limit
Functions object associated with this axis instance with the exception of
the two most significant bits that are masked off to accommodate two
Safety Output Connection status bits. Specifically, the Safety Output
Connection Closed bit, when set, indicates that the Safety Output
Connection has either not been opened or has been closed. The Safety
Output Connection Idle bit, when set, indicates that the Safety Output
Connection's Run/Idle bit has been set to Idle.
For Rockwell Automation safety drive devices, the safety status data
from the drive's Safety Core may include safety status from the Safety
Controller through the Pass Thru data included in the Safety Output
assembly. This allows the Axis Safety Status attribute to reflect safety
function status conditions regardless of where the safety function is
executed, be it in the Safety Controller, or the drive's Safety Core.

The Axis Safety Faults attribute is a collection of bits indicating the safety
fault status of the axis associated with standard safety functionality as
reported by the embedded Safety Core of the device. When a safety fault
condition occurs, the Safety Core forces the axis into a Safe State and if
the Safety Fault Action is set to Major Fault or Minor Fault, the
corresponding bit is set in the Axis Safety Faults attribute. An active axis
safety fault bit remains latched even if the underlying safety fault
condition is cleared by the Safety Core. A Fault Reset Request to the
associated axis clears the axis safety fault bits, but the bits immediately
set again if the underlying safety fault conditions are still present. The
Axis Safety Faults bitmap is a concatenation of two 16-bit safety fault
attributes. The lower 16-bits is the current Safety Stop Faults attribute
value of the Safety Stop Functions object associated with this axis
instance. The upper 16-bits is the current Safety Limit Faults attribute
value of the Safety Limit Functions object associated with this axis
instance. Bits 30 and 31 are used to indicate two safety faults conditions
that are not tied to the drive safety functions. Bit 30 indicates that the
Safety Validator object (0x3A) has detected a safety connection fault. Bit
31 indicates that the Safety Supervisor object (0x39) has detected a
recoverable fault and transitioned to the Abort state.
For Rockwell Automation safety drive devices, the safety fault status data
from the drive's Safety Core may include safety faults from the Safety
Controller through the Pass Thru data included in the Safety Output

Off Action enumeration initiates one of two defined Stopping Sequences,
Category 0 Stop, or Category 1 Stop. The definition for each enumeration
will follow the same enumerations defined for the Stopping Action
attribute.
Category 1 Stop enumerations of Current Decel & Disable or Ramped
Decel & Disable are often used in conjunction with a configured delay (for
example, STO to Safe Brake Control (SBC) Delay or STO Delay)
between the STO Active condition and Safe Torque Disabled to allow the
drive to bring the motor to a controlled stop and engage a brake prior to
disabling the power structure. This capability is particularly important for
vertical load applications.
The final state after the Stopping Sequence is applied is the Start
Inhibited state or, in the case of a Safety Fault initiated STO activation,
the Major Faulted state. In either final state the device's inverter power
structure will be disabled, ultimately with safety integrity as enforced by
the Safety Core's STO safety function.

0 R/C Current Decel Current Decel leaves the power structure and any
O/F active control loops enabled while stopping. If
configured for position control mode, the drive forces
the position reference to hold its current value until
the axis reaches zero speed. Once at zero speed the
position reference is immediately set equal to the
actual position to hold the axis at standstill. If in
velocity control mode, the drive forces the velocity
reference to zero. In either case, forcing the position
or velocity reference signals to a fixed value results in
a rapid increase in control loop error of the moving
axis that saturates the output current of the drive to
the configured Stopping Torque that brings the motor
to a stop. In torque control mode, the drive directly
applies the configured Stopping Torque to the torque
command signal to decelerate the motor. When the
velocity feedback value reaches zero speed, the
torque command is set to zero. In frequency control
mode the Current Vector Limit attribute, rather than
the Stopping Torque attribute, is used to regulate the
stopping current. Once stopped, or the configured
Stopping Time, or factory limit expires, the Current
Decel stopping action is complete.

decelerate the motor to a stop. When initiating a
Current Decel & Disable Stop, the Ramp Generator is
immediately activated and the drive no longer follows
command from the controller. The Ramp Generator
input is initialized to zero and the output is initialized
to the current speed of the motor, thus causing the
Ramp Generator output to ramp the motor from its
current speed down to zero according to the ramp
control parameters. Once stopped, or the configured

These are the attributes associated with the built-in Safety functionality
Guard Safety Attributes of an axis. These attributes relate to the behavior of a configurable
Safety Core within the drive that executes basic drive safety functions
using hardwired safety inputs and safety outputs. These functions do not
require the services of a CIP Safety network connection. This safety
functionality covers the following safety functions as defined by
IEC-61800-5-2, EN-954-1, and IEC-60204 standards:
• Safe Restart
• Safe Stop
• Safe Limited Speed
• Safe Speed Monitoring
• Safe Maximum Speed
• Safe Direction Monitoring
• Safe Door Monitoring
• Safe Door Monitoring
The Guard Status and Guard Fault attributes are defined in the axis to
monitor the behavior of built-in Drive Safety functionality. The term Guard
is used for these status attributes to differentiate these attributes from the
Safety status attributes associated with the integrated Safety functionality
provided by a CIP Safety connection.

The Guard Faults attribute is a collection of bits indicating the safety

faults of the drive axis. When a safety fault condition occurs the safety
core processor always requests a Safe Stop operation and notifies the
drive controller to set the appropriate Guard Faults bit. This bit remains
latched even if the safety fault condition is cleared in the safety core. A
Fault Reset Request to the associated axis clears the safety fault bits, but
the bits set again immediately if the underlying safety fault condition is
still present.

When disabling or aborting an axis, through a Disable Request or an

motor. Each supported Stopping Action initiates one of three Stopping
Sequences (IEC60204-1 Category Stops 0, 1, and 2).
• In the case of a Disable Request, the stopping method is applied
while in the Stopping state and the final state after the stopping
method is completed is the Stopped state.
• In the case of an Abort Request, the stopping method is applied
while in the Aborting state and the final state after the stopping
method completes is the Major Faulted state.
In either final state the device's inverter power structure will either be
Disabled (Disable selection) and free of torque or actively held (Hold

Stopping Action Enumeration Definitions

Enum. Usage Name Description
0 R/XD Disable and Disable and Coast immediately disables the device power
Coast structure and active control loops, which causes the motor to
coast unless some form of external braking is applied. This is
equivalent to an IEC-60204-1 Category 0 Stop.

602 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
Enum. Usage Name Description
1 R/C Current Decel Current Decel and Disable leaves the power structure and any
O/XF and Disable active control loops enabled while stopping.
If configured for position control mode, the drive forces the
position reference to hold its current value until the axis
reaches zero speed. Once at zero speed the position reference
is immediately set equal to the actual position to hold the axis
at standstill.
If in velocity control mode, the drive forces the velocity
reference to zero.
In either case, forcing the position or velocity reference signals
to a fixed value results in a rapid increase in control loop error
of the moving axis that saturates the output current of the
drive to the configured Stopping Torque that brings the motor
to a stop.
In torque control mode, the drive directly applies the configured
Stopping Torque to the torque command signal to decelerate
the motor. When the velocity feedback value reaches zero
speed, the torque command is set to zero.
Once stopped, or the configured Stopping Time or factory time
limit expires, the drive disables the power structure and control
loops. This stop mode complies with the IEC-60204-1 Category 1
Stop.
In frequency control mode the operative current limit, rather
than the Stopping Torque attribute, is used to regulate the
stopping current.
When applied to track sections, this stopping action leaves the
power structure enabled for the configured Stopping Time and
Mechanical Brake Engage Delay to allow time for movers local
to the section to be brought to a stop by their associated
remotes sections.
2 O/FV Ramped Decel Ramped Decel and Disable also leaves the power structure and
and Disable any active control loops enabled while stopping but uses the
Ramp Generator associated with the Velocity Fine Command
Generator block to decelerate the motor to a stop. When
initiating a Ramped Decel and Disable Stop, the Ramp
Generator is immediately activated and the drive no longer
follows command from the controller. The Ramp Generator
input is initialized to zero and the output is initialized to the
current speed of the motor, thus causing the Ramp Generator
output to ramp the motor from its current speed down to zero
according to the ramp control parameters. Once stopped, or the
configured Stopping Time or factory timeout limit expires, the
device disables the power structure and control loops. This stop
mode also complies with the IEC-60204-1 Category 1 Stop.
3 O/PV Current Decel Current Decel and Hold behaves like Current Decel and Disable,
and Hold but leaves the power structure active with holding torque to
maintain the stopped condition. The method for generating
holding torque is left to the drive vendor's discretion. This stop
mode complies with the IEC-60204-1 Category 2 Stop.
The Current Decel and Hold stopping action is not allowed if a
Start Inhibit condition is present. If a Start Inhibit condition is
present, a Current Decel and Disable will be initiated instead.

The Ramped Decel and Hold stopping action is not allowed if a

129 O/D AC Injection AC Injection Brake decreases the device output frequency
Brake according from its present value to zero at the rate determined
by the configured Deceleration Limit. Stopping action is

maximum amount of time the drive allows to reach zero speed as part of
the Category 1 or Category 2 Stop sequence. Action taken by the drive
once the time limit is reached depends on the Stop Category. For a
Category 1 Stop, the drive continues to apply Stopping Torque while
engaging the brake. For a Category 2 Stop the drive continues to apply
Stopping Torque but does not engage the brake. If Stopping Time Limit is
not supported a factory set timeout may be applied.

When disabling or aborting an axis, this parameter determines the

maximum amount of time the drive allows to reach zero speed as part of
the Category 0 "Disable and Coast" Stop sequence. Action taken by the
drive if the time limit is reached is to engage the brake and advance to the
Stopped state. If this attribute is not supported, the Coasting Time Limit
applies the Stopping Time Limit value. If Stopping Time Limit is not
supported a factory set timeout may be applied.

Resistive Brake Contact Delay

When an external resistive brake is used, an external contactor switches
the UVW motor leads from the inverter power structure to an energy
dissipating resistor to stop the motor. This switching does not occur
instantaneously and enabling the power structure too early can cause
electrical arcing across the contactor. To prevent this condition, the
Resistive Brake Contact Delay can be set to the maximum time that it
takes to fully close the contactor across the UVW motor lines so when the
axis is enabled, the inverter power structure is not enabled until after the
Resistive Brake Contact Delay Time has expired. Resistive Brake
operation is only applicable to PM Motor types.
The following sequence further defines how the Resistive Brake Contact
Delay factors into the overall Enable Sequence that may also include the
operation of a Mechanical Brake. Note that the Resistive Brake Contact
Delay and the Mechanics Brake Release Delay attributes apply even if
there is no external contactor or mechanical brake connected to the
drive.

1. Switch to Starting state.
2. Activate Resistive Brake contactor to connect motor to inverter
power structure.
3. Wait for "Resistive Brake Contact Delay" while Resistive Brake

The Mechanical Brake Control attribute governs the operation of the

Mechanical Brake Output of the drive. The Mechanical Brake Output
controls the mechanical brake mechanism. When set to Automatic, the
Mechanical Brake is under the control of the axis state machine. The
Mechanical Brake Engage Delay and Mechanical Brake Release Delay
attributes describe the sequencing for the brake. To release the brake,
set the brake to Brake Release. The axis state machine releases control
of the brake.

Mechanical Brake Release Delay

When enabling the axis with an engaged mechanical brake, the
Mechanical Brake Release Delay value determines the amount of time
the drive shall delay transition from the Starting state to the Running or
Testing states. This delay prevents any commanded motion until the
external mechanical brake has had enough time to disengage. If
supported, a Torque Proving operation is included in this sequence prior
to releasing the brake. Note that the Resistive Brake Contact Delay and
the Mechanical Brake Release Delay attributes apply even if there is no
external contactor or mechanical brake connected to the drive.

 Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
When disabling the motion axis using a Category 1 Stopping Action, the
Mechanical Brake Engage Delay value determines the amount of time
the device power structure will remain enabled after the axis has
decelerated to standstill. This attribute allows time for an external
mechanical brake to engage. The configured Stopping Action determines
the type of stopping sequence applied. If supported, a Brake Proving
operation is included in the Category 1 stopping sequence prior to
disabling the power structure. Note that the Mechanical Brake Release
Delay attribute applies even if there is mechanical brake connected to the
drive.

Zero Speed
Usage Access Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - D Set/SSV REAL 1 0 % Motor Rated
FD

This attribute sets the speed threshold associated with the zero speed
criteria of the stop sequence. Zero Speed is specified as a percent of
motor rated speed. When Zero Speed Time attribute is supported, this
attribute sets the speed threshold where the zero speed timer starts.
When the axis speed has been below the Zero Speed threshold for Zero
Speed Time the axis has satisfied the zero speed criteria. In all but
Category 2 stops, this results in action to engage the mechanical brake. If
this attribute is not supported, the zero speed threshold is left to the
vendor’s discretion and typically set to 1% of motor rated speed. Axis
speed in the above description is based on the Velocity Feedback signal,
or in the case of a Frequency Control drive, axis speed is based on
Velocity Reference signal.
When supporting a Load Observer, the zero speed criteria is not based
on the Velocity Estimate since that signal can differ considerably from the
actual speed of the motor. When the Load Observer is configured to
apply the Velocity Estimate to the velocity loop summing junction as
Velocity Feedback, the zero speed criteria must be based on the velocity
feedback signal input to the Load Observer.

Zero Speed Time

Usage Access Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - D Set/SSV REAL 0 0 103 Sec

This attribute sets the amount of time that the axis speed must be below
the zero speed threshold, set by the Zero Speed attribute or established
by the drive vendor, before satisfying the zero speed criteria. In all but
Category 2 stops, when this attribute is set it results in action to engage
the mechanical brake. If this attribute is not supported, the amount of time
needed to satisfy the zero speed criteria is left to the vendor’s discretion
and typically is immediate (0). Axis speed in the above description is
based on the Velocity Feedback signal, or in the case of a Frequency
Control drive, axis speed is based on Velocity Reference signal.

Vertical Load Control

Usage Access Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - FPV Set/GSV USINT 0 - - Enumeration:
0 = Disabled
1 = Enabled
2 - 255 = Reserved

This enumerated value allows the drive to tailor motor control behavior
for vertical load applications. When the Enabled enumeration is selected,
the drive attempts, whenever possible, to avoid applying Category 0 stop
actions in response to Major Fault conditions. The drive may tailor other
aspects of its behavior to best handle vertical loads.

Proving Configuration
Usage Access Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - D Set/SSV USINT 0 - - Enumeration:
FD 0 = Disabled
1 = Enabled
2 - 255 = Reserved

This attribute enables the operation of the drive's Torque Proving and
Brake Proving functions that work in conjunction with mechanical brake
control. When Proving is enabled, the mechanical brake must be set as
soon as the drive is disabled. When the brake is under the control of the
axis state machine this is automatic. But when controlled externally,
failure to set the brake when the drive is disabled can cause a free fall
condition on a vertical application.
When enabled, the drive performs a Torque Prove test of the motor
current while in the Starting state to "prove" that current is properly
flowing through each of the motor phases before releasing the brake.
Should the Torque Prove test fail, a Motor Phase Loss exception is
generated.
While Torque Proving functionality is applicable to drive Control Modes
that are not capable of generating reliable holding torque based on a
feedback device, such as Frequency Control and Sensorless Velocity
Control, Torque Proving should not be used in these modes for
applications where holding torque is critical to safe operation, such as in
a typical lift or crane application.
If the optional Brake Test Torque attribute is supported, the Torque Prove
test also includes a proactive Brake Test to ensure the mechanical brake

608 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
is functioning properly. Should the Brake Test detect brake slip, a Brake
Slip exception is generated.
When Proving is enabled, the drive also performs a Brake Prove test
while in the Stopping or Aborting states to "prove" proper mechanical
brake function before the drive power structure is disabled. Should the
Brake Prove test detect brake slip a Brake Slip exception is generated.
Unless another vendor specific method is used to address a Brake Slip
condition in the Stopping or Aborting state, the appropriate Fault Action
for the Brake Slip exception is Torque Limited Stop and Hold. This Fault
Action applies holding torque to arrest the brake slip and transitions the
axis to the Major Faulted state.
In general, Brake Proving functionality is only applicable to drive Control
Modes that are capable of generating holding torque based on a
feedback device. Brake Proving is therefore not applicable to Frequency
Control or Sensorless Velocity Control modes.
When Proving is enabled, and the Auto-Sag feature is supported, upon
detection of a brake slip condition, the drive has the capability of safely
lowering the load to the ground in a controlled series of increments. The
Auto Sag Configuration attribute is used to enable this feature. In addition
to Brake Slip initiating a Brake Slip exception, the drive also generates a
Brake Malfunction start inhibit when the Auto Sag feature is enabled.
When Proving, Auto Sag, and Auto Sag Start are all enabled, the drive
also monitors for brake slip in the Stopped or Faulted states. If brake slip
is detected, the drive power structure is automatically started to arrest the
slip allowing the Auto Sag function to safely lower the load to the ground.
Upon detection of brake slip, a Brake Slip exception is generated along
with a Brake Malfunction start inhibit.
The sequencing of the torque and brake "prove" tests are described in
detail by the Mechanical Brake Engage Delay and Mechanical Brake
Release Delay attributes.
The Proving feature includes a number of optional Sub-Features, many
of which depend on support of other Proving feature attributes. The
following table defines these attribute dependencies.

Proving tests are performed when enabling or disabling the drive axis.
During these state transitions a series of operations are performed by the
drive to ensure the proper function of the motor (Torque Proving) and the
brake (Brake Proving).

Torque Prove Current

Usage Access Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - D Set/SSV REAL 0 0 103 % Motor Rated
FD

This attribute sets the percent of motor rated torque applied to the motor
by the Torque Prove test as part of the Torque Proving function executed
in the Starting state. The Torque Prove test applies current to the motor
to "prove" that current is properly flowing through each of the motor
phases before releasing the brake.

Brake Test Torque

Usage Access Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - DE Set/SSV REAL 0 0 103 % Motor Rated
FD

This attribute sets the percent of motor rated torque applied to the motor
by the Brake Test as part of the Torque Proving function executed in the
Starting state. This Brake Test proactively tests the ability of the
mechanical brake to hold the maximum anticipated load before releasing
the brake and allowing operation. Should the Brake Test detect brake
slip, a Brake Slip exception is generated.
If the Brake Test Torque attribute value is 0 the Brake Test is not
performed in the Starting state.

Brake Prove Ramp Time

Usage Access Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - DE Set/SSV REAL 0 0 103 Seconds
FD

This attribute determines the amount of time the drive will take to ramp
the applied torque of the motor down to zero during the Brake Proving
test in the Stopping or Aborting state. The Brake Prove Ramp Time
determines the ramp down rate of the applied torque output by dividing
the Torque Limit by the Brake Prove Ramp Time. The Torque Limit in this
case is the maximum of the configured Torque Limit Positive and Torque
Limit Negative values. The Brake Prove test is performed to check for
brake slip before the power structure is disabled.

 Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes

Brake Slip Tolerance

Usage Access Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - DE Set/SSV REAL 0 0 Position Units
FD

This attribute determines the amount of brake slip allowed after the brake
is engaged. If this tolerance is exceeded while the brake is engaged, a
Brake Slip exception is generated. Brake slip can therefore be monitored
in any axis state where the brake is engaged.

DC Injection Brake Current

Usage Access Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - D Set/SSV REAL 0 0 103 % Motor Rated

The DC Injection Brake Current attribute defines the brake current level
injected into an induction motor stator when DC Injection Brake is
selected as the Stopping Action. This attribute is specified as a percent of
motor rated speed.

DC Injection Brake Time

Usage Access Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - D Set/SSV REAL 0 0 103 Seconds

The DC Injection Brake Time attribute defines the amount of time that the
DC brake current is injected into an induction motor stator when DC
Injection Brake is selected as the Stopping Action. This attribute is
specified in seconds.

Flux Braking Enable

Usage Access Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - D Set/SSV USINT 0 - - 0 = Flux Braking Disabled
(IM) 1 = Flux Braking Enabled

The Flux Braking Enable attribute value determines if the drive device is
to apply additional flux current to the induction motor in an effort to
increase motor losses and reduce the deceleration time while in the
Stopping state. This feature is useful when there is no Shunt Regulator or
Regenerative Brake available.

Auto Sag Configuration

Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
Usage Access Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - DE Set/SSV USINT 0 - - Enumeration:
0 = Disabled
1 = Enabled
2-255 = (reserved)

This attribute is used to enable the optional Auto Sag feature that, in the
event of detected a brake slip condition, safely lowers the load to the floor
in a series of controlled Auto Sag Slip Increments. When a brake slip
condition is detected and Auto Sag is enabled, the drive not only sets the
standard Brake Slip exception, but the drive also sets the Brake
Malfunction start inhibit. This prevents the drive from restarting after the
load has been safely lowered to the floor.

Auto Sag Slip Increment

Usage Access Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - DE Set/SSV REAL 0 0 Position Units

This attribute sets the incremental amount of brake slip allowed by the
drive's optional Auto Sag function before restoring holding torque. When
brake slip occurs, the drive allows this amount of displacement and then
automatically enables the power structure and applies holding torque to
arrest the slip. The drive then ramps the motor torque to zero based on
the Brake Prove Ramp Time while checking for slip. Should brake slip
continue, the cycle repeats. In crane and lift applications, this repeating
"Auto Sag" cycle is designed to lower the load in a controlled series of
Auto Sag Slip Increments until the load reaches the ground.

Auto Sag Time Limit

Usage Access Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - DE Set/SSV REAL 0.25 0 Seconds

This attribute sets the time limit over which the drive checks for brake slip
as performed by the Auto Sag function before restoring holding torque.
When brake slip occurs, the drive allows this amount of time before
automatically enabling the power structure and applying holding torque.
The drive then ramps the motor torque to zero based on the Brake Prove
Ramp Time while checking for slip. Generally, in a brake slip situation,
the Auto Sag Slip Time Limit expires when the load reaches the ground
after one or more Auto Sag Slip Increment cycles. With no further slip
occurring while the motor torque is ramping to zero, the Auto Sag feature
transitions the axis to the Major Faulted state and the drive power
structure is disabled.

612 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
The optional Auto Sag Slip Time Limit attribute is not required by the Auto
Sag feature. If not supported, a vendor specific value for the Auto Sag
Slip Time is applied, typically 0.25 seconds.

Auto Sag Start

Usage Access Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - DE Set/SSV USINT 0 - - Enumeration:
0 = Disabled
1 = Enabled
2-255 = (reserved)

When the Auto Sag Configuration attribute is set to Enabled, this attribute
is used to enable the Auto Sag function in the Stopped or Faulted state.
When Auto Sag Start is enabled, the drive monitors the load for possible
brake slip and should the amount of brake slip exceed the Brake Slip
Tolerance a Brake Slip exception is generated, along with a Brake
Malfunction start inhibit. When this occurs, the drive power structure is
enabled (Started) without holding torque and the axis transitions to the
Aborting State. The drive continues to monitor brake slip and when the
amount of slip exceeds the Auto Sag Slip Increment holding torque is
applied to the motor to arrest the brake slip. The drive then ramps the
motor torque to zero based on the Brake Prove Ramp Time while again
checking for slip. Should brake slip continue and exceed the Auto Sag
Slip Increment, holding torque is applied and the cycle repeats. In crane
and lift applications, this repeating "Auto Sag" cycle is designed to lower
the load in a controlled series of Auto Sag Slip Increments until the load
reaches the ground.

following IEC-60204-1 Stop Categories:
• Category 0 Stop: Drive immediately disables inverter power
structure.
• Category 1 Stop: Drive decelerates motor to a stop and then
disables power structure.
• Category 2 Stop: Drive decelerates motor to a stop and then
applies holding torque.
All actions initiated by the control or the drive to stop the axis or disable its
associated inverter power structure must execute one of these three

stopping sequences. Category 0 and Category 1 Stop sequences
coordinate the disabling of the drive power structure with brake operation
and in some cases, optional Brake Proving functionality.
The above stopping sequences are listed in order of precedence should
a stopping sequence be initiated while another stopping sequence is in
progress. For example, a Category 0 stopping sequence shall preempt a
Category 1 stopping sequence in progress, but a Category 1 stopping
sequence shall not supersede a Category 0 stopping sequence in
progress. This rule of precedence holds true regardless of the source that
initiated the stopping sequence.
The following stopping sequences are defined in the context of a Disable
Request generated stop, where the stopping methods are applied in the
Stopping state and the stopping sequences ends up in the Stopped state.
In the context of a Major Fault action, these same stopping methods are
applied in the Aborting state and the stopping sequences end up in the
Major Faulted state. In the context of a Shutdown Request, the Category
0 stopping method below is applied in the Stopping state and the
stopping sequence ends up in Shutdown state.

Category 0 Stop Sequence

Inverter is immediately disabled. Brake Proving is not applicable.
1. Switch to Stopping state
2. Disable inverter power structure.
3. Deactivate Resistive Brake contactor to connect motor to brake
resistor, if applicable.
4. Wait for zero speed or "Coasting Time Limit" or a factory set

5. Transition to Stopped state.
6. Deactivate Mechanical Brake output to engage brake, if
applicable.

1. Switch to Stopping state.
2. Apply "Current Decel" or "Ramp Decel" method to stop motor.
3. Wait for zero speed or 'Stopping Time Limit' or a factory set

4. Deactivate Mechanical Brake output to engage brake.
5. Wait for "Mechanical Brake Engage Delay" while brake engages.
6. Perform (optional) Brake Proving operation to verify brake control

7. Disable inverter power structure.
8. Transition to Stopped state.
9. Deactivate Resistive Brake contactor to disconnect motor from
inverter power structure.
The following diagram illustrates a Category 1 Stop Sequence:

Category 2 Stop Sequence

Torque is applied to stop the motor and inverter is left enabled to provide
holding torque. The mechanical brake is not used. Brake Proving is not
applicable. A Category 2 Stop is only allowed in no Start Inhibit condition
is present.
1. Switch to Stopping state.
2. Apply "Current Decel" or "Ramp Decel" method to stop motor.
3. Wait for zero speed or "Stopping Time Limit" or a factory set

4. Transition to Stopped state.
A Category 2 stop sequence is not allowed if initiated by a Disable
Request or fault action with a Start Inhibit condition present. If a Start
Inhibit condition is present, a Category 1 stop sequence is initiated
instead, using the same stopping method (Current Decel or Ramped
Decel) that would have been applied by the Category 2 stop sequence.
Category 2 stop sequences are also not allowed if initiated by a Start
Inhibit condition with the axis in the Stopped state or Major Faulted state

Bus Regulator Kp
Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - C Set REAL 10 0 % Motor Rated/Volt

The Bus Regulator Kp attribute sets the proportional gain for the DC Bus
Regulator.
The DC Bus Regulator is used in cases where the drive does not have
the ability to regulate the DC Bus voltage through other means
(regenerative converter or shunt regulator) while the motor is
decelerating and driving energy into the DC Bus. It does this by limiting
the amount of torque producing current, Iq, and thereby limiting the
deceleration rate of the motor to keep the DC Bus voltage under the level
that produces a DC Bus overvoltage condition.
When actively limiting current, the Current Limit Source attribute
indicates Bus Regulator Limit.

The DC Bus Regulator is used in cases where the drive does not have
the ability to regulate the DC Bus voltage through other means
(regenerative converter or shunt regulator) while the motor is
decelerating and driving energy into the DC Bus. It does this by limiting
the rate of change of the velocity reference signal into the frequency

External Bus Capacitance

Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - G Get/SSV REAL 0 0 µF
(Derived from
External DC Bus
Capacitance)

The External Bus Capacitance attribute represents the external DC Bus

capacitance when the associated AFE converter or drive acts as a Bus
Master, supplying DC Bus power to one or more Common Bus Followers.
This attribute might also be applicable to standalone AFE converters that
allow connection to an external capacitor.

Bus Configuration
Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - XBD Set USINT - - - Enumeration:
0 = Standalone
1 = Shared AC/DC
2 = Shared DC
3 = Shared DC - Non CIP Converter
4 = Shared DC/DC
5-255 = (reserved)

The Bus Configuration attribute is an enumerated selection that specifies

how the DC Bus is used.
Standalone specifies that DC Bus power supplied by the drive's
converter section is applied only to this drive’s power structure.
Shared AC/DC specifies that the converter associated with this CIP
Motion device is to supply and share DC Bus power with other drives.
This would typically result in de-rating of the converter’s continuous
current rating when there are multiple converter devices paralleled in a
bus sharing group.
Shared DC specifies that this drive is sharing DC bus power generated
by another Shared AC/DC or Shared DC/DC CIP Motion drive, or

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 627

Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
external Non-CIP converter. Shared DC axes generally participate in a
bus sharing group.
Shared DC - Non CIP Converter specifies that this drive is receiving DC
bus power generated by an external AC/DC converter that is not CIP
Motion compliant and distributing its DC bus power to other CIP Motion
drives. A drive configured for Shared DC - Non CIP Converter is
responsible for communicating the status of the external converter to the
control system as if the external converter were integrated with the drive.
Specifically, this communication includes the DC Bus Up and DC Bus
Unload status bits reflecting the current state of associated external
converter.
Shared DC/DC specifies that the converter associated with this CIP
Motion device supplies and shares DC bus power with other Shared DC
devices. DC/DC converters may convert input power from a primary DC
bus, generally supplied by a Shared AC/DC converter, to a secondary
DC bus output at a different voltage level supplying one or more Shared
DC drives. It may also simply distribute primary DC bus power from a
Shared AC/DC converter to multiple Shared DC drives on a secondary
DC bus without any conversion. A Shared DC/DC converter has a
unique capability in that it can be both a bus master for a bus group and a
bus slave in a different bus group. Thus, Shared DC/DC axes generally
participate in two bus sharing groups.

Bus Voltage Select

Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - BD Set T USINT - - - Enumeration:
0 = High (115V, 230V, 460V, 690V)
1 = Low (100V, 200V, 400V, 600V)
2-255 = (reserved)

The Bus Voltage Select value indicates the expected bus voltage level of
the drive application. High bus voltage selection is usually associated
with drive running on the North American power grid, while operating in
Europe a Low Bus Voltage selection would be appropriate. This
parameter can be used to compensate for these different bus voltage
levels in the current loop.

Bus Regulator Action

Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type

628 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type

Optional - XBD Set USINT - - - Enumeration:

0 = Disabled (O)
1 = Shunt Regulator (O)
2-127 = (reserved)
128-255 = (vendor specific)
128 = Adj. Frequency (O/IM)
129 = Both - Shunt first (O/IM)
130 = Both - Freq first (O/IM)
131 = Bus Follower (O)

The Bus Regulator Action attribute controls the method of operation of

the DC Bus Regulator that addresses the regenerative over-voltage
conditions that can occur when decelerating a motor. If Disabled, no
regulation is applied to the DC Bus level by this device to control
regenerative energy sourced by the motor. When Shunt Regulator is
selected the associated shunt regulation hardware is applied to the DC
Bus to dissipate regenerative energy via an internal or external resistor.
When controlling Induction Motors, additional bus regulation methods are
available that do not require a shunt regulator. When Adjust Frequency is
selected, the output frequency of the device is controlled relative to the
speed of the motor to control the amount of regenerative energy pumped
into the DC Bus. Different sequential application of shunt regulation and
frequency control can be applied to motor. When Bus Follower is
selected, the DC Bus is generated by an external converter rather than
an integral converter. No bus regulation is applied to the DC Bus level
and the drive does not generate an exception if the DC Bus is still active
when the DC Bus contactor of the integrated converter is open. In this
context, the integral converter is not connected to AC power.

Regenerative Power Limit

Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type

Optional - XD Set REAL - - - % Motor Rated

The Regenerative Power Limit attribute limits the amount of power

allowed to transfer between the motor and the DC Bus during
regenerative braking of the motor load. Since this is regenerative power,
the value of the limit is negative.

Converter Regenerative Power Limit

Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type

Optional - B Set/SSV REAL -200DB - 0 % Converter Rated

The Converter Regenerative Power Limit attribute limits the amount of

regenerative power allowed to transfer from the DC Bus to the converter.
Since this is regenerative power, the value of the limit is negative.

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 629

Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
Converter Rated is defined as the Converter Rated Input Power attribute
value.
When the Bus Voltage Reference Source is configured for Dynamic Bus
Control (DBC), this attribute sets the maximum regenerative power the
converter is allowed to transfer to the AC line while the DC bus voltage is
above the DBC High Voltage Threshold during DBC Regen operation.

Converter Motoring Power Limit

Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - B Set/SSV REAL 200DB 0 % Converter Rated

The Converter Motoring Power Limit attribute limits the amount of

motoring power allowed to transfer from the AC Line to the motor via the
DC Bus.
Converter Rated is defined as the Converter Rated Input Power attribute
value.
When the Bus Voltage Reference Source is configured for Dynamic Bus
Control (DBC), this attribute sets the maximum motoring power the
converter is allowed to transfer to the DC Bus while the DC bus voltage is
below the DBC Low Voltage Threshold during DBC Motoring operation.

 Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes

External Shunt Power

Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - BD Set REAL - - - Kilowatts

Use the External Shunt Power attribute after configuring the external
shunt resistor. The External Shunt Power attribute value specifies the
power rating of the external shunt resistor, in Kilowatts.

External Shunt Pulse Power

Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - BD Set REAL - - - Kilowatts

Use the External Shunt Pulse Power attribute after configuring the
external shunt resistor. The attribute value specifies the power for
delivering to the external shunt resistor for one second, without
exceeding the rated element temperature. There are approximations to
help determine this attribute if this information is not available
from your vendor. Shunt Pulse Power (Kilowatts) = 75,000 * lbs, where
lbs is the weight of the resistor wire element.
Tip: Shunt Pulse Power is not the weight of the resistor.

Another is that the thermal time constant = Shunt Pulse Power

(Kilowatts) / 'Shunt Power’ (Kilowatts) sometimes referred to as thermal
mass.- the time for the resistor element to reach 63% of rated
temperature with applied rated Kilowatts. A third method for determining
this value: The pulse Kilowatts for 1 second is twice the watt rating of a 2
second pulse. In other words, the watt*sec rating is a constant if the pulse
duration is short compared to the thermal time constant of the resistor
and is a function of the element mass.

External Bus Capacitance

Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - BD Set REAL - - - F

The External Bus Capacitance attribute represents the external DC Bus

capacitance when the associated converter or drive:
• Acts as a Bus Master
• Supplies DC Bus power to one or more Common Bus Followers.
The External Bus Capacitance attribute also is applicable with
standalone drives that allow connection to an external capacitor. This
attribute is not applicable when the Bus Regulator Action is set to Bus
Follower.

External Shunt Resistance

Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - BD Set REAL 200 0 Ohms

The External Shunt Resistance attribute represents the resistance of the

External Shunt Regulator resistor.

Power Loss Action

Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - XBD Set USINT 0 (N) - - Enumeration:
1 (D) 0 = Continue (Ignore) (R)
3 (G) 1 = Coast Thru (R/XD)
2 = Decel Regen (O/D)
3 = Ride Thru (R/G)
4-127 = Reserved
128-255 = Vendor Specific

The Power Loss Action attribute sets the reaction to a DC Bus

under-voltage condition when the DC Bus voltage or AC Line RMS
voltage drops below a hard-coded threshold in the device or the
configured Power Loss Threshold. This provides a specific (configured)
response to an incoming power loss while the drive/motor is running.
A Continue action selection configures the drive to ignore the power loss
condition and continue to run for as long as possible. A Bus Undervoltage
exception may occur if the DC Bus Voltage falls below the Factory or
User Limits. Otherwise, operation will continue until the low voltage
power supplies drop out. There may be concerns operating the power
structure below the point where the gate drives start to lose power
potentially resulting in damage to the device. The Bus Undervoltage
Exception Actions will be set accordingly.
A Coast Thru action selection configures the drive to zero the PWM
output of the drive while leaving the axis in the Running state. For a drive,
this effectively disable power flow to the motor through the devices power
structure. If the incoming power returns before the timeout period, given
by the Power Loss Time, the drive automatically starts to control the
motor again. If, however, the power doesn't return before Power Loss
Timeout period expires, a Bus Power Loss exception is generated.
A Decel Regen action selection configures the drive to regeneratively
charge the DC bus by decelerating the motor using the bus regulator to
regulate the bus voltage at a predetermined level. When incoming power
is restored the drive returns to normal operation. If, however, the drive
reaches zero speed or the Power Loss Time period expires before the
incoming power has restored, the drive power structure is disabled and a
Bus Power Loss exception is generated.
A Ride Thru action selection configures the device to zero the PWM
output of the device while leaving the axis in the Running state. For a
regenerative converter, this disables regenerative power flow through the

632 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
devices power structure to the AC line. If the incoming power returns
before the timeout period, given by the Power Loss Time, the device
automatically restarts PWM modulation. If, however, the power does not
return before Power Loss Timeout period expires, a Converter AC Power
Loss exception is generated.

Power Loss Threshold

Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - XBD Set REAL 0 0 103 % of nominal

Sets the Level for Power Loss as percent of nominal DC Bus Voltage or
nominal AC Line Voltage.

Shutdown Action
Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - BD Set USINT 0 (D) - - Enumeration:
1 (B) 0 = Disable (R/D)(O/G)
1 = Drop DC Bus (R/B) (O/D)
2-127 = Reserved
128-255 = Vendor Specific

Shutdown Action selects the action for the device when a Shutdown
Request initiates.
Disable, the default action for a drive, immediately disables the device's
power structure according to the Category 0 Stop Sequence. For a
regenerative converter, this action immediately disables the converter’s
power structure to stop regenerative power flow.
If Drop DC Bus is selected, action can be taken to drop the DC Bus
voltage as well. This is generally done by opening an AC Contactor
Enable output provided by the device that controls power to the
converter.
The Shutdown Action executes the Category 0 Stop Sequence for a
drive.

Power Loss Time

Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - XBD Set REAL 0 0 Seconds

When the Power Loss Action is set to Coast Thru, Ride Thru, or Decel
Regen, this attribute sets the timeout value before a Bus Power Loss

Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022 633

Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
exception is generated by the drive, or a Converter AC Power Loss
exception is generated by the converter, in response to a Power Loss
condition. For details, see the Power Loss Action attribute table earlier in
this topic.

Pre-Charge Hold Control

Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - BD Set USINT 0 - - Enumerations:
0 = Disabled
1 = Enabled

The Pre-Charge Hold Control attribute controls the axis state transition
out of the Pre-Charge state. When set to Enabled by the controller during
device initialization, the axis remains in the Pre-Charge state, even after
all other pre-charge conditions are met, and remains in the Pre-Charge
state until the Pre-Charge Hold Control is set to Disabled by the
controller. When this transition from Enabled to Disabled occurs, and all
other Pre-Charge conditions are met, the Pre-Charge Hold Delay is
applied prior to transitioning out of the Pre-Charge state.
When set to Disabled by the controller during device initialization, the
normal axis state transition out of Pre-Charge occurs when pre-charge
conditions are met.
This attribute allows programmable control of the completion of the
pre-charge function and may be used to coordinate the pre-charge of a
system with multiple converters and drives.

Pre-Charge Hold Delay

Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - BD Set REAL 0 0 Seconds

When entering the Pre-Charge state with Pre-Charge Hold Control

Enabled, the Pre-Charge Hold Delay attribute determines the delay time
after the Pre-Charge Hold Control is set to Disabled (assuming all other
pre-charge conditions are met) before the axis state is allowed to
transition out of the Pre-Charge state.
This attribute has no effect on Pre-Charge state transition if entering the
Pre-Charge state with Pre-Charge Hold Control Disabled.
Use this configurable delay to control the sequence of pre-charge
completion of a system with multiple converters and drives.

 Chapter 4 CIP Axis Attributes
The following diagram illustrates the definition for Leading and Lagging
Power Factor, Active Power, and Reactive Power for Regenerative
Converters.

Apparent Power, Sc, is the vector sum of active and reactive power and
is always a positive value. It is specified in Volt-Amperes. Active power,
Pc, is the real or active component of apparent power delivered to the
load and can be positive (motoring) or negative (regenerating). Reactive
power, Qc, is the imaginary or reactive component of apparent power
delivered to the AC line. A positive value of reactive power indicates
that reactive power is absorbed (lagging reactive power) from the line by
the converter. A negative value of reactive power indicates that reactive
power is delivered (leading reactive) to the AC line from the converter.

(counter-clockwise) to positive sequence current (clockwise). When AC
Line is in perfect balance and properly phased, negative sequence
current is zero and positive sequence current is the full magnitude of the

applied to the converter power when the AC Line Filter is operating above
its rated thermal capacity and the converter’s Bus Voltage Reference
Source is set to Manual. Derating shall not be applied when Bus Voltage
Reference Source is set to Automatic. When applied in an AC Line filter
overload condition, the AC Line Filter Derating value directly impacts
attribute values for Reactive Power Available, Converter Rated Output
Power, Converter Rated Input Power, and Converter Capacity.
The AC Line Filter Derating value is calculated based on the time
averaged voltage difference between the DC Bus Voltage and the
optimal Bus Voltage Reference determined by the Converter based on
AC line input voltage and the thermal limits of the AC Line Filter. For
example, a value of 70% indicates that the converter can only run at 70%
rated continuous power when the AC line filter has reached its rated
thermal capacity. If converter power exceeds the 70% derating, the
converter’s thermal overload protection function is activated leading to
the configured Converter Overload Action or a Converter Thermal
Overload FL or UL exception.
Converter Rated is defined as the Converter Rated Input Power attribute
value.

DC Bus Condition Attributes on page 623
These are the Motion Device Axis Object attributes related to the
Converter Control Converter function of a CIP Motion device.
Attributes The Converter function of a CIP Motion device covers a wide range of
Converter Types power conversion technologies from simple non-regenerative AC/DC
converters, typically known as diode rectifiers, to sophisticated
regenerative AC/DC converters that provide closed loop control of DC
bus voltage as well as active and reactive current flow back to the grid.
This also includes support for DC/DC power converters.
The following attribute table is used to identify the type of Converter
function.

Optional - BD Get/GSV USINT - - - Enumeration:
0 = Passive AC/DC
1 = Active AC/DC

3-127 = Reserved
128-255 = Vendor Specific

The term Converter applies to any device function that converts AC or

DC input power to DC Bus output power that may be used by Inverter
power structures to drive motors.
Passive AC/DC represents the class of devices that convert AC input
power to DC output power using passive electronics. A diode bridge
rectifier is an example of a Passive AC/DC converter. They do not have
the capability to transfer energy back to the AC main supply.
Active AC/DC represents the class of devices that transfer power
between AC and DC sources using active electronics. For example,
Active AC/DC converters include both regenerative converters that
regulate bi-directional power transfer between AC and DC sources and
low harmonic converters that regulate power flow from the AC source to
the DC bus.
DC/DC represents the class of devices that convert power between a
primary DC input source and one or more secondary DC buses using
active electronics, or simply distribute primary DC input power to
secondary DC buses. DC/DC converters with active electronics are
capable of transferring energy between a primary DC input source and
one or more secondary DC buses, each with different voltage levels.

Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Required - G Get/SSV USINT 0 - - Enumeration
Derived from 0 = Bus Voltage Control
Converter 1 = Active Current Control (O)
Configuration 2-255 = Reserved

The Converter Control Mode attribute determines the basic mode of

operation for the regenerative converter.
When Bus Voltage Control is selected, the converter controls the DC bus
voltage output of the converter. The output of the DC bus control loop
drives an inner Active AC Line current control loop to maintain the
commanded DC bus voltage level established by the Bus Voltage
Reference. The Bus Voltage Reference Source determines which source
is used to establish the Bus Voltage Reference.
When Active Current Control is selected, the converter disables DC bus
voltage regulation and directly controls the Active AC Line current
component based on the Active Current Command. During initial
configuration, the controller derives this value from the the Converter
Configuration attribute value.

Reactive Power Control

Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - G Set/SSV USINT 0 - - Enumeration
0 = Disabled
1 = Enabled
2-255 = Reserved

When Reactive Power Control attribute is enabled, the regenerative

converter works solely as a reactive power compensation device by
injecting reactive power to the grid. This is typically done to improve the
power factor on the plant floor or to stabilize AC line voltage. In this mode,
the converter does not transfer active power to associated drives on the
DC Bus. Instead all of the converter’s rating capacity is dedicated to
reactive power correction to the grid. The Reactive Power Control
operates by manipulating the Motoring Power Limit and the Regenerative
Power Limit in the converter current loop. When enabled, the Reactive
Power Control function is effective regardless of the configured
Converter Control Mode.

Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - G Set USINT 0 - - Enumeration
0 = Enable Request
1 = Enable Input (O)
2 = Automatic (O)
3-255 = Reserved

The Converter Startup Method attribute specifies the method to use to

initiate transition of the regenerative converter axis from the Stopped
state to the Starting state.
If Enable Request is selected, assuming a successful Pre-charge and
transition to the Stopped state, the converter stays in the Stopped state
until it receives an Enable Request from the controller. After the converter
receives Enable Request, it transitions to Starting state and checks for
proper AC line synchronization. Once ready for regenerative control, the
converter transitions to the Running state with all configured control loops
operational.
If Enable Input is selected, assuming a successful Pre-charge and
transition to the Stopped state, the converter checks the status of the
Enable Input. If the Enable Input is active, the converter axis transitions
from the Stopped state to the Starting state and checks for proper AC line
synchronization. Once ready for regenerative control, the converter then
transitions to the Running state with all configured control loops
operational. If the Enable Input is not active, then the converter axis
transitions from the Stopped state to Start Inhibited state. The converter
axis remains in the Start Inhibited state until such time as the Enable
Input is activated. Once activated, the axis state transitions from Start
Inhibited to the Stopped state and then, without receiving any Enable
Request from the controller, automatically transitions to the Starting
state. Once ready for regenerative control, the converter then transitions
to the Running state with all configured control loops operational. If the
Enable Input is either not supported by the converter or the Enable Input
Checking attribute is set to Disabled, the Enable Input is effectively
inactive and the converter axis remains in the Start Inhibited state
indefinitely. While waiting for Enable Input activation in the Start Inhibited
state, the converter can optionally set the DC Bus Unload bit in Axis
Status that is sent to the controller. Setting the DC Bus Unload bit causes
the controller to set the Converter Bus Unload bit that is sent to all drives
that can draw power from the converter’s DC bus. In this way, the
converter can prevent DC bus power draw while the converter axis is in
the Start Inhibited state.
If Automatic is selected, assuming a successful Pre-charge and transition
to the Stopped state, the converter automatically transitions to Starting
state and checks for proper AC line synchronization. Once ready for
regenerative control, the converter transitions to the Running state with
all configured control loops operational.

9 XD Motor Phase Loss The current in one or more motor phases is lost, or is below a factory setting
threshold or, if supported, the configured Motor Phase Loss Limit. This exception is
also associated with the optional Torque Prove function that tests motor current

During normal operation in the Running state, the motor phase loss test cycles
through the three motor currents checking that current in each motor phase
exceeds the threshold level. When the phase being checked exceeds the level, the
check is advanced to the next phase. If any phase fails to exceed the level within a

motor phase loss test only runs when the motor is running above a vendor
specified speed.
When Torque Proving is enabled, the motor phase current is checked during the
Starting state. The current is applied to the motor at a fixed angle that is known to
produce current in all three motor phases; hence this test takes very little time to
execute. The Motor Phase Loss Limit is used to determine if the drive can produce

Module Configuration Attributes

The following attribute tables contains Module Configuration attributes

associated with components that are common to all axis instances of a
multi-axis CIP Motion device or module. Examples of these common
device components are a Bus Converter, Bus Regulator, Common
Power Supply, Feedback Cards, Network Interface, and so on. Module
Configuration attributes may be included in the CIP Motion Control Axis
Object implementation or they may be included as part of a vendor
specific device interface. In the Rockwell Automation implementation,
these attributes appear as data elements of the Configuration Tag
(C-tag) data structure associated with each drive devices connection’s
Map Object instance. These C-tag elements are not accessible as object
attributes and therefore cannot be referenced programmatically using
SSV, GSV, or MSG instructions. The Need in Implementation Rules
apply for either case.
The following general categories of module configuration attributes that
are defined:
Category Usage
Module Configuration Block Attributes Used to configure elements of the Configuration Block sent in the CIP
on page 685 Motion Forward_Open.
Module Class Attributes on page 686 Used to configure Motion Device Axis Object class attributes associated
with the device.
Module Axis Attributes on page 688 Used to configure Motion Device Axis Object axis attributes that apply
to a common device component.
Module Feedback Port Attributes on Used to configure the mapping of feedback ports to feedback channels
page 703 for each axis instance.
Module Timing Attributes on page 704 Used to configure various time related aspects of the CIP Motion
device.
Module Support Attributes on page 706 Used to determine the size and content of the configuration data
needed by the CIP Motion device.

This attribute is a collection of bits used for configuration of an associated

CIP Motion device. Each bit is either true or false.
• 'Verify Power Structure' bit is used to control whether the drive
performs an "extended key" check against its Drive Class ID.
• 'Networked Safety Bit Valid' bit determines if the 'Allow Networked
Safety' bit (bit 2) of this attribute is valid and is enforced by the
drive.
• 'Allow Networked Safety' bit determines if the drive is allowed to
accept a Propose_TUNID service request from a Safety Controller
to establish safety ownership and subsequent safety connections.

If power structure varies with the axis instances of a multi-axis drive

device then a value of 0 is applied to this attribute and the controller uses
the Drive Power Structure Axis ID to verify matching power structure
associated with each axis.

The following collection of Module Class Attributes are stored in the
Module Class Attributes controller and used to configure Motion Device Axis Object Class
attributes associated with the CIP Motion device. These attributes
generally apply to the CIP Motion connection behavior. If these Module
Class attributes are included in the CIP Motion Control Axis Object
implementation, the attribute values are the same for all axis instances
associated with the module. In such an implementation, the controller
need only apply the Module Class attribute value for one of the axis

Module Axis Attributes on page 688
Module Configuration Attributes on page 685
Module Axis attributes are used to configure common components of a
Module Axis Attributes CIP Motion device, for example the Bus Converter, Bus Regulator, and
so on, that apply to all axis instances of the device. If these Module Class
attributes are included in the CIP Motion Control Axis Object
implementation, the attribute values are the same for all axis instances
associated with the device. This is generally enforced by configuration
software.
If the value for a given Module Configuration attribute is not the same for
each axis instance of the device, the Module Configuration attribute value
for instance 1 determines the configuration of the device component.

Device Power Structure Axis ID

Usage Access T Data Default Min Max Semantics of Values
Type
Optional - D Set DINT[8] [] = 0 - - Array of power structure IDs
used to verify if the user
selected power structure for
each axis instance of a
multi-axis drive matches that
of the drive's actual power
structure.
[ Axis 1 ID,
Axis 2 ID,
Axis 3 ID,
Axis 4 ID,
Axis 5 ID,
Axis 6 ID,
Axis 7 ID,
Axis 8 ID ]

The element values of this array represent an ID assigned by the drive

vendor that identifies the power structure associated to a given axis
instance. This allows different power structures to be applied to specific
axis instances of a multi-axis drive. By contrast, if power structure
hardware is the same for all axis instances of the drive (excluding master
feedback axes) the power structure can be identified by simply using the
Drive Power Structure Class ID attribute. For multi-axis drives, the Drive
Power Structure Axis ID can be included as part of the data segment in
the CIP Motion connection’s Forward Open service to confirm that the
power structure for a given axis instance matches the configuration in the
controller. The indexed elements of this array correspond to axis
instances 1 thru 8. Individual elements of this attribute are only applicable
to axis instances whose associated Inverter Support bit is set. Array
elements that are not applicable are set to 0. Axis instances with power
structures that are not configured are set to 0, indicating to the drive that
the Drive Power Structure Axis ID for these axis instances do not need to
be checked

This 8-element array sets the carrier frequency for the Pulse Width
Modulation output to the motor. Drive derating is required at higher PWM
frequencies due to switching losses. Current loop update time is tied
directly to the PWM frequency so loop performance generally increases
with increasing PWM rate. Note that each drive instance in a multi-axis
drive module can have an independently configured PWM frequency.
The indexed elements of this array correspond to axis instances 1 thru 8.
Individual elements of this attribute are only applicable to axis instances
whose associated Inverter Support bit is set. Array elements that are not
applicable or not configured are set to 0.

is going to be used by the associated axis instances of the device.
Configure up to 8 axis instances using the array elements of this attribute.
The axis instances start with 1 and end with 8.
• Standalone specifies DC Bus power supplied by the converter
section of this axis instance applies only to the inverter's power
structure of this axis. The axis instance does not require
participating in a bus sharing group.
• Shared AC/DC specifies that the converter associated with this
CIP Motion device axis instance is to supply and share DC Bus
power with other axis instances and with other drives. This may
result in de-rating of the converter's continuous current rating
when there are multiple Shared AC/DC converter devices

paralleled in a bus sharing group. Shared AC/DC axes generally
participate in a bus sharing group.
• Shared DC specifies the drive axis instance is sharing DC bus
power. Another Shared AC/DC or Shared DC/DC CIP Motion
drive, or external non-CIP Converter generates the DC bus power.
Shared DC axes typically participate in a bus sharing group.
• Shared DC - Non CIP Converter specifies that this drive axis
instance receives DC bus power generated by an external AC/DC
converter that is not CIP Motion compliant and distributing its DC
bus power to other CIP Motion drives. A drive configured for
"Shared DC - Non CIP Converter" is responsible for
communicating the state of the external converter to the control
system as if the external converter were integrated with the drive.
Specifically, this communication includes the Bus Up and DC Bus
Unload status bits reflecting the current state of associated
external converter. Shared DC - Non CIP Converter axes
generally participate in a bus sharing group.
• Shared DC/DC specifies that the converter associated with this
CIP Motion device supplies and shares DC bus power with other
Shared DC devices. DC/DC converters also converts input power
from a primary DC bus power generally supplied by a Shared
AC/DC converter to a secondary DC Bus output voltage level
supplying one or more Shared DC drives. It may also distribute
primary DC bus power from a Shared AC/DC converter to multiple
Shared DC drives on a secondary DC bus without conversion. A
Shared DC/DC converter has a unique capability in that it can be
both a bus master for a bus group and a bus slave in a different
bus group. Shared DC/DC axes generally participate in a bus
sharing group.

This value indicates the expected bus voltage level of the drive
application. High bus voltage selection is usually associated with drive
running on the North American power grid, when operating in Europe a
Low Bus Voltage selection would be appropriate. This parameter can be
used to compensate for these different bus voltage levels in the current
loop.

128 = Adj. Frequency (O/IM)
129 = Both – Shunt first (O/IM)
130 = Both – Freq first (O/IM)
131 = Bus Follower (O)

This 8-element array controls the method of operation of the DC Bus

Regulator that addresses the regenerative over-voltage conditions that
can occur when decelerating a motor associated with a given axis
instance.
If Disabled, no regulation is applied to the DC Bus level by this device to
control regenerative energy sourced by the motor.
When Shunt Regulator is selected the associated shunt regulation
hardware is applied to the DC Bus to dissipate regenerative energy via
an internal or external resistor.
When controlling Induction Motors, additional bus regulation methods are
available that don’t require a shunt regulator. When Adjust Frequency is
selected, the output frequency of the device is controlled relative to the
speed of the motor to control the amount of regenerative energy pumped
into the DC Bus. Different sequential application of shunt regulation and
frequency control can be applied to motor.
When Bus Follower is selected, the DC Bus is generated by an external
converter rather than an integral converter. No bus regulation is applied
to the DC Bus level and the drive does not generate an exception if the
DC Bus is still active when the DC Bus contactor of the integrated
converter is open. In this context, the integral converter is not connected
to AC power.
Note that each drive instance in a multi-axis drive module can have an
independently configured Bus Regulator Action. The indexed elements of
this array correspond to axis instances 1 thru 8. Array elements that are
not applicable or not configured are set to 0.

692 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 5 Module Configuration Attributes
This attribute is used when an external shunt resistor has been
configured. This attribute value specifies the power that can be delivered
to the external shunt resistor for one second, without exceeding the rated
element temperature.
There are approximations to help determine this attribute if this
information is not available from your vendor.
First approximation method, calculate 'Shunt Pulse Power' (Kilowatts) =
75,000 * lbs, where lbs is the weight of the resistor wire element (not the
weight of the resistor).
Another method is that the thermal time constant = 'Shunt Pulse Power'
(Kilowatts) / 'Shunt Power' (Kilowatts) sometimes referred to as thermal
mass.- the time for the resistor element to reach 63% of rated
temperature with applied rated Kilowatts.
A third method for determining this value: The pulse Kilowatts for 1
second is twice the watt rating of a 2 second pulse. In other words, the
watt*sec rating is a constant if the pulse duration is short compared to the
thermal time constant of the resistor ad is a function of the element mass.

External Bus Capacitance

This attribute represents the external DC Bus capacitance when the

associated converter or drive is acting as a Common Bus Leader Master,

This 8-element array indicates the duty level of the drive application and
balances the continuous and intermittent overload capacity of the drive
and motor accordingly. Since this value is tied to a specific drive inverter
and motor, the setting can vary for each axis instance supported by a
multi-axis drive module. The indexed elements of this array correspond
to axis instances 1 thru 8. Array elements that are not applicable or
configured are set to 0.
Normal Duty provides nominal continuous rating at the expense of lower
overload capacity.
Heavy Duty provides highest overload capacity at the expense of a lower
continuous rating.
Light Duty provides highest continuous rating at the expense of lower
overload capacity.
Specification for the continuous and overload ratings under Normal,
Heavy, and Light Duty are left to the discretion of the drive vendor.

22 = Bus Group 22
23 = Bus Group 23
24 = Bus Group 24
25 = Bus Group 25

This enumerated selection indicates the primary Bus Sharing Group the
drive is assigned to. Physically, a Bus Sharing Group represents a
collection of drives that are wired together in a Shared AC/DC or Shared
DC Bus Configuration. Assignment to a Bus Sharing Group limits the DC
Bus Unload action initiated by a converter in the group, and the resultant
Bus Power Sharing exceptions, to Shared AC/DC and Shared DC drives
in the converter's assigned Bus Group. Drives assigned to other Bus
Groups are, therefore, unimpacted.
If the drive's Bus Configuration indicates Standalone operation, the only
valid enumeration for the Bus Sharing Group is Standalone.
If the drive's Bus Configuration indicates Shared AC/DC or Shared DC
operation, the drive should be assigned to a specific Bus Group. The
Standalone enumeration in this case is invalid.
If the drive supports the optional Bus Configuration attribute, the Bus
Sharing Group is required in the drive profile implementation.

performance is significantly limited as compared to standard operation
with Demo Mode inactive. All converter and inverter modules in a shared
DC bus configuration should have the same Demo Mode setting to avoid

the CIP Motion device and whether attributes associated with the
converter function will be sent to the CIP Motion device. These
parameters are not attributes of any object and are not sent to the CIP
Motion device.

Number of Configured Axes

Usage Access T Data Type Default Min Max Semantics of Values

Required - SINT 2 0 8 # of axes

All
AOP

Configuration software only parameter (does not go to the device),

representing the number of axes in this device configured for use.

Inverter Support
Usage Access T Data Type Default Min Max Semantics of Values

Required - SINT 1 - - Bitmap:

All 0: Axis 1 Inverter
AOP 1: Axis 2 Inverter
2: Axis 3 Inverter
3: Axis 4 Inverter
4: Axis 5 Inverter
5: Axis 6 Inverter
6: Axis 7 Inverter
7: Axis 8 Inverter

Configuration software only bitmapped parameter (does not go to the

device), where each bit determines if an axis instance supports an
Inverter power structure. This parameter impacts Inverter specific
attributes, for example, PWM Frequency and Duty Select.

Number of Configurable Inputs

Usage Access T Data Type Default Min Max Semantics of Values

706 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM003M-EN-P - March 2022

 Chapter 5 Module Configuration Attributes
Usage Access T Data Type Default Min Max Semantics of Values

Optional - All USINT[8] [] = 0 0 8 Number of inputs

FW* [ Axis 1 Inputs,
Axis 2 Inputs,
Axis 3 Inputs,
Axis 4 Inputs,
Axis 5 Inputs,
Axis 6 Inputs,
Axis 7 Inputs,
Axis 8 Inputs]

Firmware only parameter (does not go to the device) that controls how
much of the Digital Input Configuration array is sent to the device for a
given axis instance.
Important: This attribute is only needed if Digital Input Configuration is
supported.

The number of configurable inputs can vary for each axis instance
supported by a multi-axis drive module. The indexed elements of this
array correspond to axis instances 1 thru 8. Array elements that are not
applicable or configured are set to 0.

Source of Configurable Inputs

Usage Access T Data Type Default Min Max Semantics of Values

Optional - All USINT[8] [] = 0 0 8 Number of inputs

FW* [ Axis 1 Input Source,
Axis 2 Input Source,
Axis 3 Input Source,
Axis 4 Input Source,
Axis 5 Input Source,
Axis 6 Input Source,
Axis 7 Input Source,
Axis 8 Input Source]

Firmware only parameter (does not go to the device) that specifies the
axis instance that sources the configurable digital inputs for a given axis
of the device.
Important: This attribute is only needed if Digital Input Configuration is
supported.

While axis instances generally provide their own set of configurable

inputs, in some cases axis instances, like feedback only axis instances,
utilize the digital inputs from another axis instance. The Source of
Configurable Inputs element can be used to identify another axis
instance as the source for its digital inputs. The indexed elements of this
array correspond to axis instances 1 thru 8. Array elements that are not
applicable or configured are set to 0.

Primary Bus Sharing Group

Usage Access T Data Type Default Min Max Semantics of Values

Optional - USINT 0 - - Enumeration:

BD 0 = Standalone
1 = Bus Group 1
2 = Bus Group 2
3 = Bus Group 3
4 = Bus Group 4
5 = Bus Group 5
6 = Bus Group 6
7 = Bus Group 7
8 = Bus Group 8
9 = Bus Group 9
10 = Bus Group 10

16 = Bus Group 16
17 = Bus Group 17
18 = Bus Group 18
19 = Bus Group 19
20 = Bus Group 20
21 = Bus Group 21
22 = Bus Group 22
23 = Bus Group 23
24 = Bus Group 24
25 = Bus Group 25

This enumerated selection indicates the primary Bus Sharing Group the
device is assigned to. Physically, a Bus Sharing Group represents a
collection of devices that are wired together on a primary DC Bus with in
a Shared AC/DC, Shared DC/DC, or Shared DC Bus Configuration.
Assignment to a Bus Sharing Group limits the DC Bus Unload action
initiated by a converter in the group, and the resultant Bus Power Sharing
exceptions, to Shared AC/DC, Shared DC/DC, and Shared DC devices in
the converter's assigned Bus Group. Drives assigned to other Bus
Groups are, therefore, unaffected.
If the device’s Bus Configuration indicates Standalone operation, the only
valid enumeration for the Bus Sharing Group is Standalone.
If the device’s Bus Configuration indicates Shared AC/DC, Shared
DC/DC, or Shared DC operation, the device should be assigned to a
specific primary Bus Group. The Standalone enumeration in this case is
invalid.
If the device’s supports the optional Bus Configuration attribute, the Bus
Sharing Group is required in the drive profile implementation.

Secondary Bus Sharing Group

Usage Access T Data Type Default Min Max Semantics of Values

Optional - USINT 0 - - Enumeration:

2 = Bus Group 2
3 = Bus Group 3
4 = Bus Group 4
5 = Bus Group 5
6 = Bus Group 6

15 = Bus Group 15
16 = Bus Group 16
17 = Bus Group 17
18 = Bus Group 18
19 = Bus Group 19
20 = Bus Group 20
21 = Bus Group 21
22 = Bus Group 22
23 = Bus Group 23
24 = Bus Group 24
25 = Bus Group 25

This enumerated selection indicates the secondary Bus Sharing Group

the device is assigned to. Physically, a secondary Bus Sharing Group
represents a collection of devices that are wired together on a Secondary
DC Bus with a Shared DC/DC, or Shared DC Bus Configuration.
Assignment to a Secondary Bus Sharing Group limits the DC Bus Unload
action initiated by a DC/DC converter in the group, and the resultant Bus
Power Sharing exceptions, to Shared DC drives in the converter's
assigned secondary Bus Group. Devices assigned to other Bus Groups
are, therefore, unaffected.
If the Bus Configuration for a device connected to a secondary DC Bus
indicates Shared DC/DC, or Shared DC operation, the device should be
assigned to a specific Bus Group.
If the device is designed to operate on a secondary DC Bus, the optional
Bus Configuration and secondary Bus Sharing Group attributes are
required in the drive profile implementation

FW only parameter (does not go to the device) but controls how many
Cyclic Writes attributes can be configured for a given axis instance. The
number of configurable inputs can vary for each axis instance supported
by a multi-axis drive module. The indexed elements of this array
correspond to axis instances 1 thru 8. Array elements that are not
applicable or configured are set to 0.

Usage Access T Data Type Default Min Max Semantics of Values

Optional - X USINT 0 - - Enumeration:

0 = Not Specified
1 = Track 1
2 = Track 2
3 = Track 3
4 = Track 4
5 = Track 5
6 = Track 6
7 = Track 7
8 = Track 8

This enumerated selection identifies the Track that the device is

incorporated into. Physically, a Track ID represents a collection of
devices that are wired together to create a unique track layout. The Track
ID can be used to validate any configurations that must be consistent
across a Track definition. Devices assigned to other Track IDs are
unaffected.
If the Track ID is defined as the default value of Not Specified, validation
cannot be performed for those devices.
