6.4.3 Commissioning Wizard
Each type of motor and drive combination has different performance characteristics. Before the
MicroFlex
e
100 can be used to control the motor accurately, the MicroFlex
e
100 must be ‘tuned’.
This is the process where the MicroFlex
e
100 powers the motor in a series of tests. By
monitoring the drive’s output and the feedback from the motor’s encoder, the MicroFlex
e
100 can
make small adjustments to the way it controls the motor. This information is stored in the
MicroFlex
e
100 and can be uploaded to a file if necessary.
The Commissioning Wizard provides a simple way to tune the MicroFlex
e
100 and create the
necessary configuration information for your drive/motor combination, so this is the first tool that
should be used. If necessary, any of the parameters set by the Commissioning Wizard can be
adjusted manually after commissioning is complete.
6.4.3.1 Using the Commissioning Wizard
Each screen of the Commissioning Wizard requires you to enter information about the motor,
drive or application. Read each screen carefully and enter the required information. When you
have completed a screen, click
Next > to display the next screen. If you need to change
something on a previous screen, click the < Back button. The Commissioning Wizard
remembers information that you have entered so you will not need to re-enter everything if you
go back to previous screens. If you need extra help, click
Help or press F1.
Connectivity :
If you wish to change a node ID or baud rate then click in the appropriate cell and select an
alternative value. When multiple controllers are to be connected on the same bus they must each
have a unique node ID. For example, if two MicroFlex
e
100s and a NextMove
e
100 are
connected to the PC using individual USB connections, they must each be assigned a unique
USB nodeID.
Select your Motor Type :
Select the type of motor that you are using (rotary or linear).
