VMC 186/40 Motion Control Module Getting Started
27
Getting Started and Tuning the Axis
CAUTION: Great care must be taken to avoid accidents when starting the motion controller module for the first
time. The most common accident is a runaway. This is where the motion controller tries to go to a position
beyond the physical limits of the axis.
Make sure the power to the drive is turned off before starting this
procedure.
TIP: If the VMC 186/40 serial interface option is installed, use Delta's DCSMON setup program to help
determine initialization parameters and operation. Also, Delta's SSS/10 Servo System Simulator provides a
simple way to test your program before connecting the module to a real system.
Step 1 - Setting Up the Initialization Parameters
When the VMC 186/40 motion controller module is first turned on, default values are used for the initialization
parameters. These values are there only to give the motion controller something to work with so the present
position can be maintained. The parameters need to be changed to work optimally in your system. The VME
Controller is responsible for initializing the parameters by placing the correct values in the correct memory
locations and issuing a 'P' command. The following procedure will help in finding the optimal values for the
initialization parameters.
First, disconnect the drive output from the VMC 186/40 (15 pin connector), and establish a means of moving
the axis under manual control. Using some type of memory monitor (DCSMON), monitor the appropriate
memory locations. Make sure the transducers are connected and powered up. Observe the
Transducer Counts
field. The counts should change as the sensing point on the transducer is moved.
TIP: Use the simulation mode of VMC 186/40 to test the VME Controller program (see page 20).
Direction Parameter
Decide whether the
Actual Position
will increase or decrease as the axis extends. (Remember - extending is the
direction that returns increasing
Transducer Counts
.) The
Direction
parameter should be 0 if the
Actual
Position
will increase as the axis extends. This is the default value. The
Direction
parameter should be set to -
1 (0FFFFH) if the
Actual Position
decreases when the axis extends. The VME Controller must now issue a
parameter 'P' command in
Command
field. Manually retract the axis until it is near the
Retract Limit
. Set the
Retract Limit
to the
Actual Position.
Scale Parameter
The next step is to compute the
Scale
factor that converts
Transducer Counts
to position units. For
magnetostrictive transducers, the
Scale
is computed by:
32768000
Scale
=
Magnetostrictive Transducer Cal Number x 55.5 x Number of Recirculations
For Analog and Quadrature options see the respective addendum for
Scale
usage.
TIP: Delta's DCSMON provides an easy way to work with
Scale
. Use DCSMON's commands P0 and P1 to
help calculate
Scale , Offset
and
Direction (
see separate DCSMON manual
)
.
