4.3.4 Turntable positioning mode
The Turntable positioning mode is suitable for operating rotary indexing tables or other devices with a repetitive
positioning range. Here, when the system reaches a preset maximum position (I/O mode:
Turntable positioning range
;
CANopen
: Object
Max Position Range Limit
[607Bh, Subindex 2];
)
the position counter is deliberately reset to zero.
The
Turntable
positioning
mode is parameterised via the
corresponding selection in the
DSerV menu
OPTIMISATION /
OPERATING MODE
(I/O mode)
or selected via
Modes of
Operation
[6060h]
=
-5
(CANopen
).
Target positions can be selected either as absolute or relative values:
a)
With
relative
positioning the direction of rotation is determined by the sign of the target position. Positive target
positions are approached in a clockwise rotation 1, negative target positions in a counter-clockwise rotation 1.
(The parameterised turntable movement (see below) or direction of turntable rotation (see below) do not apply with
relative positioning!)
b)
With
absolute
positioning it is necessary to configure whether the (here fundamentally positive) target positions should be
approached with a defined direction of rotation (e.g. always clockwise
1
) or whether the shortest path should be used. In
the latter case alternating rotational directions can arise, depending on the location of the target position relative to the
current position (see example). The specification takes place in I/O mode via corresponding selection under
OPTIMISATION
/ POSITIONING / TARGET POSITIONS
(see below) or in CANopen
via Bit11 and Bit12 of the
Controlword
[6040h].
Example: Absolute positioning in Turntable mode

The direction of rotation shown, cw / ccw and the clockwise arrangement of the positions assumes …,
a) ... that the rotational direction of the motor and the turntable are the same and that
Polarity
is set to “Positive” or
b) ... that the rotational direction of the motor and the turntable are opposite and that
Polarity
is set to “Negative”.
The arrangement of the positions – and thus the direction of rotation – can be globally inverted via the
Polarity
parameter (CANopen
:
Polarity[607Eh]
), if required.
(Note: The sign of the parameterised positioning speed has no influence on the direction of rotation.)
