5.2.6 Performing a test move
This section tests the basic operation of the drive and motor.
1. Check that the Drive enable button is
pressed (down).
2. In the Toolbox, click the Edit & Debug icon.
3. Click in the Command window.
4. Type:
JOG.0 = 10
This will cause the motor to move
continuously at 10 units per second. In Mint
WorkBench, look at the Spy window located
on the right of the screen. The Spy window’s
Velocity
display
should
show
10
(approximately). If there seems to be very little motor movement, it is probably due to the scale
factor. In the Commissioning Wizard, on the Position Control page, if you did
not
adjust the
scale factor then the current unit of movement is feedback counts per second. Depending on
the motor’s feedback device, 10 feedback counts per second could equate to a very small
velocity. Issue another
JOG
command using a larger value, or use the Operating Mode Wizard
to select a suitable scale factor (e.g. 4000 if the motor has a 1000 line encoder, or 10,000 for
a 2500 line encoder).
5. To stop the test, type:
STOP.0
