6.8: Manual Phasing
6.8.1: Manual Phase Objectives
The CME 2 Manual Phase tool lets the user phase a brushless motor, monitor signals, check
configuration wiring, and control a microstepping current vector. The manual phase procedure is
followed by a manual phase troubleshooting procedure.
6.8.2: Manual Phase Instructions, Standard (Non-Resolver) Xenus
6.8.2.1
Make sure that no load is connected to the motor.
6.8.2.2
On the
Main
screen, choose
Tools Manual Phase
to open the
Manual Phase
window.
6.8.2.3
Enable the amplifier by selecting
Enable
as shown here.
6.8.2.4
To control the current vector rotation, command the motor forward or reverse using the
buttons shown here.
NOTE: Some motors have bearings stiction, so helping the motor with mechanical
force is acceptable. Motors with no friction may need friction added to steady motion.
6.8.2.5
If the motor cannot keep up with the rate of vector rotation, then reduce the
Increment
Rate
or increase the
Current
.
6.8.2.6
Verify that pressing forward button moves motor forward. If it does not, toggle the
Motor Invert Output box setting.
6.8.2.7
Verify actual position count agrees with direction of rotation: increasing counts in
forward direction and decreasing counts in reverse direction. If it does not, toggle the
Encoder Invert Input box setting.
