6.3 Monitor
The
Monitor
tool allows the user to view five of nine
different parameters at any one time. Each of the 5
dropdown lists contains the same 9 parameters that can be
selected and displayed. These parameters are updated as
part of the polling process and therefore the values may lag
behind the actual value in the SSM.
6.4 I/O Status
The
I/O Status
tool displays the current state of the three
Inputs (1, 2, 3)
the one
Output
(Y) and the Encoder Index
sensor (I) if there is one. When the I/O indicator is gray
this shows an “open” condition. For the Inputs, this means
the circuit is not activated and will be “high”; for the Output
this means it is off and also “high”. When the indicator is green the Input has been activated and is
considered “low”; the same is true for the Output. The Encoder Index also follows this convention.
6.5 Alarm
The SSM has a number of different
Alarm
indications that
will give either fault or warning conditions of the drive.
Alarms are shown in the 2 different categories of
Faults
or
Warnings
because of the difference in how they affect the
drive status. Alarm faults indicate that a serious condition
has occurred, the drive has been shut down, and is in a
disabled state. Warnings are informational and may or
may not be serious. The operational conditions must be
considered when warning occurs. Warnings do not disable
the drive but the CW or CCW limits will halt the movement
of the motor.
When fault conditions occur the user must take care to
evaluate the condition and may need to remedy the cause.
Faults or Warnings may be cleared using the
Alarm
Reset
button at the top of the application window. If a
Fault or Warning is not cleared after clicking this button
the condition which caused the Alarm may still be present.
When clearing a Fault the drive is not automatically re-
enabled, the
Enable
button must also be clicked to re-
enable the drive.
