For help using the Logix Designer application software to configure your linear
thruster, refer to
. This procedure assumes you
are familiar with the Logix Designer application.
Configure
Follow these steps to configure your drive for the linear thruster.
1. Loosen the shipping and handling set screw until it is flush with the
stator body surface.
2. Run the Logix Designer application.
3. Complete the basic system configuration to create an axis.
4. From the Motor category click Change Catalog.
5. Select your linear thruster from the Change Catalog Number dialog box.
6. From the Scaling category, set the Units to mm.
Hookup Test
If possible, run hookup test before the linear thruster loads or fixtures are
installed. Vertical loads or external forces of more than 10% of the rated load
can prevent hookup test from passing, even though the unit is wired correctly.
Follow steps to do a hookup test for the linear thruster.
1. Set the Test Distance to 60 mm.
2. Click Start.
3. Verify that the Motor Polarity, Feedback Polarity and Motion Polarity
are normal.
Tune
The linear thruster is a direct drive actuator. When you tune the linear thruster,
it establishes a stable axis.
Follow these steps to tune the linear thruster.
1. Attach your application load to the linear thruster.
ATTENTION:
Before you tune your linear thruster, read and understand
