Units

 

 

 
Here you can configure the units in which the 
speed and acceleration will be measured in. 
There are predefined unit pairs such as "mm and 
seconds", "cm and seconds" and "m and minutes".  
You can also define your own unit by pressing 
"user defined". 
 
The figure on the right shows the standard 
adjustment of area boundaries after the installation 
of the driver software.  
Enter the travel areas of the according axis into the according fields. You can either 

experimentally ascertain

 the 

values

 by 

manual operation

 or 

use the traverse paths

 of the 

data sheet

, enclosed to the machine.

Axes

Axes

 

 

 
Here you can select the number of axes you want to use. 
 
For each axis you indicate 

• 

The axis letter 

• 

Whether the axis is enabled or not. 

• 

Alignment. The leading sign of "Move" indicates, in which direction the axis is to move 
with increasing increments. These leading signs should be adjusted thusly that each axis 
moves in manual jogging in the direction, you expect due to the keyboard-input 

• 

The type of the axis; L/R: linear- or rotary axis 

• 

Calibration. Indicate the distance one axis moves per increment.  You can put in this value 
directly or click on "Formula". You will then see an input window, in which you have the 
opportunity to put in axis parameters.  

• 

The reversal clearance correction is the number of increments, that has to be added to the 
calculated reference value so the axis is on the expected position. To ascertain the reversal 
clearance correction put in the value 0 and let the axis alternately go in both directions for 
x increments. The value, at which the axis does not yet move, is the double reversal 
clearance correction 

• 

The number of axes. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
By clicking on the button „Calc“ of the individual axis, you see a window in which you can 
configure the axis. There is a distinction between linear- and rotary axes.
