5-18 Operation MN1941
Click in the Active column and enter a value for the scale factor. This immediately sets
the scaling factor for the selected axis, which will remain in the NextMove
e 100 until
another scale is defined or power is removed. A yellow ‘C’ icon will appear to the left of
the ScaleFactor entry to indicate that the value has been changed. Other parameters that
depend on the scale factor may also change automatically to maintain their relative value;
these will also be indicated by a yellow ‘C’ icon. See the Mint help file for full details of the
Parameters tool.
Note: The parameter list also contains entries for PosScaleFactor , VelScaleFactor and
AccelScaleFactor . These parameters are provided to comply with the CANopen
DS402 Device Profile for Drives and Motion Control, which specifies separate
scaling for position, velocity and acceleration. Each can be set to different values so
that, for example, position could be specified in mm, velocity in m/s
2
and
acceleration in g. However, in most cases all scaling will be required to use the
same type of unit, for example meters for position, m/s for velocity and m/s
2
for
acceleration. For this reason, setting the general purpose ScaleFactor parameter
will automatically set PosScaleFactor, VelScaleFactor and AccelScaleFactor to the
same values. See the Mint help file for further details.
