Configure Your Kinetix 6500 EtherNet/IP Servo Drive with RSLogix 5000 Software
For each linear thruster that is powered by a Kinetix 6500 servo drive use the next four sections
to configure, hookup test, tune, fine tune and set up homing for the linear thruster.
These procedure assumes the linear thruster and a Kinetix 6500 servo drive has been installed
and wired as one axis of the motion system.
For help using RSLogix 5000 software as it applies to setting up your linear thruster, refer to
. This procedure assumes you are familiar with RSLogix 5000
software.
Configure
Follow these steps to configure your drive for the linear thruster.
1.
Loosen the shipping and handling set screw till it is just flush with the stator body
surface.
2.
Run the RSLogix 5000 software.
3.
Complete the basic system configuration to create an axis.
4.
From the Motor category click Change Catalog.
5.
Select your linear thruster from the Change Catalog Number dialog box.
6.
From the Scaling category set the Units to mm.
Hookup Test
If possible, run hookup test before the linear thruster loads or fixtures are installed. Vertical loads
or external forces of more than 10% of the rated load may prevent hookup test from passing,
even though the unit is wired correctly.
Follow steps to do a hookup test for the linear thruster.
1.
Set the Test Distance to 60 mm.
2.
Click Start.
3.
Verify that the Motor Polarity, Feedback Polarity and Motion Polarity are normal.
