NOTICE
Oscillation!
Unsuitable setting of the C-863.12's servo control parameters can cause the positioner to
oscillate. Oscillation can damage the positioner and/or the load fixed to it.
➢
Secure the positioner and all loads adequately.
➢
If the Positioner is oscillating (unusual operating noise), immediately switch off the servo
mode or disconnect the C-863.12 from the power source.
➢
Only switch on the servo mode after you have modified the servo control parameter
settings of the C-863.12; see "Optimizing Servo Control Parameters" (p. 66).
➢
If, due to a very high load, oscillation occurs during the reference move, follow the
instructions for the reference move in "Troubleshooting" (p. 255).
INFORMATION
The C-863.12 has a nonvolatile memory for parameter values. Therefore, after switching on,
the correct parameter settings for the connected positioner may already be loaded.
➢
However, if you have loaded a parameter set from the positioner database and
overwritten the original settings of the C-863.12 in the volatile memory during the process,
avoid saving the new settings in the nonvolatile memory of the C-863.12. The original
settings are active again after the C-863.12 has been switched off and on again or been
rebooted.
➢
If you are using the
Start up controller
window in PIMikroMove for selecting the positioner
and you are asked how you want to save the new settings, click the
Save all settings
permanently on controller
button only if you are sure that the C-863.12 is working
correctly with the settings.
INFORMATION
If the
Select connected stages
step is not displayed in PIMikroMove, the controller has
probably already loaded the correct parameter settings for the positioner type connected.
1.
Check
Start up axes
step to ensure that the correct positioner type is in the
Stage
column
in the middle of the window.
2.
If the positioner type is not correct, click
Select connected stages
in the left area of the
Start up controller
window to change the positioner type.
