CAUTION
The first time a new controller is
powered up (with no previous
programming), the axis gains are set
to zero to prevent unintended motion.
However, analog circuit offset voltages
and external devices such as servo
amplifiers can have offsets which can
cause ’drift’ motion. Axis gain should
be set to some value before applying
power to the actuators.
Before proceeding, you should
determine the parameters applicable to
your system.
–
Position Scale Factor
(i.e. counts/inch)
–
Maximum Velocity, Acceleration,
Deceleration you desire (Equipment
should be capable of attaining these
values).
–
Home Requirements.
The CFG mode is used to set
parameters applicable to all programs
for an axis. Either axis can be selected.
Settings for one axis do not affect the
other axis. This mode is shown in five
sections. The axis parameters should
be set before trying to activate any of the
axes.
When the CFG mode switch is pushed,
one of the five screens in Figure 3-4
comes up. The others are reached by
using the arrow keys.
Any of F1 through F4 not listed for a
particular screen is not active with that
screen.
The following sections explain in detail
how to use the CFG mode screens. To
proceed with a quick initial set-up, you
only need to enter axis parameters and
axis gains (see Quick Set-Up section
page ##).
Axis Parameters
In the CFG mode use Up/Down arrows
to go to Configuration Axis Parameters
screen. Push F1–EDIT. Then use the
arrow keys to get the screen for a
particular parameter.
These parameters apply as DEFAULTS
and LIMITS to all axis programs and all
segments of those profiles. These
values can be lowered, but not
increased by values entered in the
Program (PRG) mode. Therefore, these
values should represent the maximum
values judged obtainable or judged
desirable for this axis.
Note: If these axis parameters are
changed after profile parameters or
program segments have been entered,
the stored segments/profiles WILL NOT
be re–checked for out of bounds values
and where a profile or segment used
default values. These WILL NOT be
revised. If it is expected that a particular
parameter will be changed, it would be
better to use a VARIABLE in each
segment where that parameter is used.
