ODC001 Servo Motor Driver
Jogs
Jogs are initiated by using the ‘Jog’ keys on the GUI panel (see Section 4.7.), or the
Jog Buttons on the front panel of the unit.
Velocity Profile (specified in real world units, millimetres or degrees)
Note. On current versions of software, the ‘Min Vel’ parameter is locked at zero and
cannot be adjusted.
MaxVel - the maximum velocity at which to perform a jog
Accn/Dec - the rate at which the velocity climbs from minimum to maximum, and
slows from maximum to minimum.
Operating Modes
Jogging - The way in which the motor moves when a jog command is received (i.e.
front panel button pressed or GUI panel button clicked).
There are two jogging modes available, ‘Single Step’ and ‘Continuous’. In ‘Single
Step’ mode, the motor moves by the step size specified in the Step Distance
parameter. If the jog key is held down, single step jogging is repeated until the button
is released - see Fig. 5.3. In ‘Continuous’ mode, the motor actuator will accelerate and
move at the jog velocity while the button is held down..
Fig. 5.3 Jog Modes
Single Step - the motor moves by the step size specified in the Step Distance
parameter.
Continuous - the motor continues to move until the jog signal is removed (i.e. jog
button is released).
