6 SCL Test & Monitor
6.1 SCL Test
The
SCL
(Serial Command Language)
Test
tool is used to
send commands to the serial port of the connected drive. A
command can be entered manually in the
Command
window
at the bottom of the screen. The history of the sent command
and responses of the drive are displayed in the
Command
History & Response
window. This tool is designed to help
the user learn SCL usage prior to implementation on the
system controller. The command interface allows entry of all
supported SCL commands. Any command syntax errors that
are encountered are also displayed in the response window.
The Command History & Response window also displays
commands and responses used when operating the other
functions provided on the SCL Test & Monitor tab such as Jog
Move or Single Move.
Step-Servo Quick Tuner communicates to the connected
drive using a high baud rate of 115200 and a protocol that
includes the Checksum. These protocol settings are used to
provide high speed and reliable communications with the drive
during the configuration, tuning, or testing operations. The
response window will indicate the exact command syntax that
is being used. This means that the user will be able to see both the Checksum calculated for that
command and the Checksum provided in the response by the drive. This is a useful feature to
help the system programmer determine the proper Checksum calculation in the system controller.
An option that is not recommended is to check the
Hide Checksum
box (turns off the Checksum).
A user might also select hiding the Checksum so that it is not visible in the Command History &
Response window.
6.2 Move Testing
6.2.1 Jog Move
The
Jog Move
tool provides a window for setting the
Jog Speed
(commanded velocity) in rps, and the
Accel/ Decel
(acceleration
to and deceleration from the set speed) in rps2. By clicking
and holding the
CW Jog
or
CCW Jog
button, the drive can be
commanded to operate at the set jogging speed. (CW Jog causes
the motor to spin in a clockwise direction as viewed from the front
(shaft side) of the motor; CCW Jog does the opposite.) This is the most basic move for testing
motor operation. Be careful as this operation is not a distance move and holding the button too
long could drive a connected mechanism to the end of its limits.
