Basic Steps for Offline Operation
User Units
The first step in setting up a new application is to select the user units. On the main menu bar
select Drive/Units and the following page will be displayed.
Distance Scaling:
The distance scaling factor can be setup for a linear actuator with an inch per motor rev
conversion factor, rotary actuator with an output rev per motor rev conversion factor or for a
custom actuator with a user units per motor rev conversion factor.
Select the units for distance, velocity and acceleration units in which the application will work,
select the precision to display as, and enter the text that will actually be displayed on the pages.
The inch to millimeter and inch meter conversions are done automatically based on the Inches
per Motor Rev conversion. Output Revs and Degrees are calculated automatically based on the
Output Revs conversion factor. For custom units UserUnits are calculated based on the User
Unit per motor rev scale factor.
Examples:
For linear actuators select the actuator lead; such as 0.5 inches per motor rev, select Inches,
millimeters or meters for the working units and enter the text such as IN, Inches or mm. For
velocity select units such as RevsPerMinute, RevsPerSecond, InchesPerSecond or
MillimetersPerSecond. Enter the text to displayed such as rpm, ips In/sec etc. For Acceleration
select the working units such as InchesPerSecondPerSecond, RevsPerMinutePerSecond, etc.
Enter the text to be displayed such as in/sec^2 or rpm/sec.
