5-10 Controller integration
5.2.7 Integration procedure
At this stage the machine must be moved to verify that the quadrature supplied to the
machine is correctly configured. One of the following two procedures should be followed
depending on the presence of a secondary encoder system, as described in section 5.2.6.
Method 1 should be used for a dual encoder system and method 2 for a single encoder
system.
Method 1 (dual encoder systems): Dummy axis monitoring

Connect the RCU10 system to "dummy" axis inputs. This enables the machine to be
moved under the control of the secondary feedback system.

Configure the user interface such that the position readout of this "dummy" axis is
visible on the user console.

Move the machine and verify that the RCU10 feedback system provides movement
of the expected magnitude and direction to the "dummy" axis. This should be
checked on both the RCU10 compensation display and the controller’s “dummy
axis”.

If the movement is not what you expected continue to section 5.2.8.

Repeat for all axes.
Method 2 (single encoder systems): Single axis monitoring
If an additional "dummy" axis is not available, the axis must be moved manually:

Configure the user interface such that the position readout of the axis to be moved
is visible on the user console.

Manually move the machine and verify that the RCU10 feedback system provides
movement to the axis of the expected magnitude and direction. This should be
checked on both the RCU10 compensation display and the controller readout.

If the movement is not what you expected continue to section 5.2.8.

Repeat for all axes.
5.2.8 Making corrections
If the system doesn’t behave as expected, corrections must be made – the following
section details these.
Incorrect direction
If you are experiencing an incorrect direction, a check of the input and output directions is
necessary:

Using RCU-CS, return the RCU10 to configuration mode.
