Trace
The trace function allows recording up to 4 parameters of the controller. A trigger source
is available for this in the object dictionary. This allows selection of a maximum of 4
signal sources. Two different types of recording are available:
Trace recorder: The parameter values are written to an internal buffer and can then
be read (see chap. 4.1, p. 31).
Trace logger: On request the parameter values are requested and read continuously
(see chap. 4.2, p. 35).
The FAULHABER Motion Manager provides a user-friendly means of setting and
evaluating the trace functions.
4.1
Trace recorder
The configuration and reading of data with the trace recorder is performed via the SDO.
The trace recorder is configured using the object 0x2370 in the OD.
The recorded data are read using the segmented SDO upload protocol. The object 0x2371
is available in the OD for this purpose (see chap. 4.1.2, p. 33).
4.1.1
Trace settings
The object 0x2370 is available for configuration of the trace recorder. The data sources to
be recorded, the buffer size, the resolution and the trigger conditions can be set here.
