ID Chip
The hexapod has an ID chip that contains data on the type of hexapod, its serial number, and
the date of manufacture. The data is loaded from the ID chip when the controller is switched on
or rebooted. Depending on the data loaded, the controller keeps the current configuration or
installs a new configuration.
For simple replacement, the configuration data for all standard hexapods is stored at the
factory in every standard controller (e.g., geometry data and control parameters). The
configuration data for customized hexapods is only stored on the controller if the hexapod and
controller are delivered together, or if PI was correspondingly informed before delivery of the
controller.
For further information and application notes, see the documentation of the controller used.
