Procedure for Testing and Setting Up Backlash Compensation
Make sure the motor and its associated motor encoder are setup and enabled and your personal computer is
linked to the drive (see Section
9.5 Connecting the AMD2000 to a PC
). Start-up ANCA MotionBench (see
Section
9.8 Configuring the AMD2000 Series Servo Drive
), then navigate to the Advanced Parameter Access
interface.
In the field, it is common practice to use a dial gauge and command step moves forward and backwards and
monitor the backlash compensation. The backlash compensation clearance can be adjusted by feel, as can the
slew limit.
