6.5.2 Establishing a connection to the encoder
If the connection to the encoder is established properly, a green tick (
)
appears next to the
Encoder
field; also the
START PROCEDURE
button
becomes active.
On the contrary, if the program is not able to establish a connection to the
encoder, a red
appears next to the
Encoder
error message is invoked to appear (see on page 51).
Should this happen, please check that the EXC-D15M-S71-A16-1,0-FCI-S71
cable is connected properly on both sides. Make sure that the IF90-SC interface
is powered and the power supply voltage is correct. For any information please
refer to the “6.3 Before launching the calibration and synchronization
procedure” section on page 39.
6.5.3 Saving calibration data to a file
The system allows to save to a file the calibration data of each device which is
being tested. To enable the data save select the
Save calibration file
check box
at the bottom of the page.
At the end of the alignment, synchronisation and calibration procedure
concerning each encoder which is being tested the
Save As
dialog box will
appear on the screen: the operator will be requested to choose the directory
where the file has to be saved and to either confirm or change the name of the
file which is suggested as default: it consists of the device model and its own
serial number (for instance: AMM8A_171001921.txt). The file is saved in a .txt
format.
6.5.4 Checking the set parameters
NOTE
Please follow the encoder mounting instructions up to
Steps 5/6
before
carrying on with the parameters control operation. Refer to the “4.4 Mounting
the encoder and executing the complete synchronization procedure” section on
page 25.
Press the
START PROCEDURE
button to start the check on the set parameters
as well as the encoder's mechanical alignment, synchronisation and calibration
operation. A blue arrow appears next to the
Parameters control
item. The
button changes the text of the label into
STOP PROCEDURE
. The duration of
the process, expressed in minutes and seconds, will be indicated on the right
(
Elapsed time
).
