Configuration when supplied

8.2.2 Configuration when supplied
When supplied, COMPAX is not configured. Parameter P149 is set to "0":
P149="0":
COMPAX is not configured and switches to OFF mode when switched
on (24V DC and operating voltage) (motor switched off). In addition to
this, when switched on, all parameters (apart from bus settings P194,
P195, P196 and P250) are set to their default values.
P149="1":
COMPAX is configured and once switched on (24V DC and operating
voltage) tries to engage the motor.
If you are configuring using ServoManager, P149 is automatically set to "1"
once ServoManager has executed successful configuration.
To operate the COMPAX controller design concept, you must have a basic level of
technical control knowledge. COMPAX calculates the internal system and
controller parameters required using simple, application-specific values, which are
generally accessible.
A strong controller design obviates the need for tedious controller optimization.
This configuration provides you with a stable controller.
If the control process is unstable because COMPAX has been incorrectly
configured, you can switch on COMPAX so that the drive remains switched off
even with power on. To do this, when switching on COMPAX simultaneously press
the "
-
" key. The following will then happen:
♦
the drive is switched off.
♦
the digital outputs O1...O6 are set to "0".
♦
when the PLC data interface is switched on: O7=1, O8, O11=0
♦
the password protected functions are enabled.
Once you have correctly configured COMPAX or you have corrected the relevant
parameters, you can engage the drive and outputs again using the command
"OUTPUT O0 = 0".
(Function not available with the COMPAX 1000SL)
8.2.3 Configuration
process
Before you configure COMPAX or modify the configuration, the drive must
be switched off e.g. using the command OUTPUT O0=1 or 2 (see Page 98).
The COMPAX configuration is carried out using parameters as follows:
♦
select operating mode.
♦
specify units for the travel data.
♦
select motor from the motor list or configure an external motor.
♦
select ramp shape.
♦
define direction.
♦
use the design data to specify the drive type.
♦
define the reference system.
