Plug-In Modules
Axis Module
The axis module offers the following controls to interact with the axis (see also Figure 29):
1.
Attach/Detach
: In case the
Attach
button is shown, this button needs to be pressed in order to
enable the controls of the module. This button prohibits commands from the superior control sys-
tem (e.g., EtherCAT) to allow the module to control the axis. Pressing the button sets
Axes[0].Commands.General.OverrideControlSystem
to 1. Release the button (
Detach
) to return
control to the superior control system. If the button is not shown, no action is needed
2.
Reset
: The
Reset
button can be used to reset pending errors or warnings. If the reset was success-
ful, the drive returns to the
Disabled
state. If the reset was not successful, additional actions are
needed by the user depending on the type of the error/warning.
3.
Enable
/
Disable
: This button is used to enable or disable the axis. After the axis is successfully en-
abled, the axis state is
Standstill
. If
Disable
is pressed, the axis-state will change to
Ready-
ToSwitchOn or Disabled
.
4. Status indicator.
5. At the top right corner the following information is displayed:
The axis name (
Axes[].Information.AxisName
)
The axis state (
Axes[].Signals.General.AxisState
)
The actual position (
Axes[].Commands.PositionController.MasterPosition
)
6.
Move to A
: Pressing this button causes the axis to move to the position specified in field
A
. Use
the corresponding
M
-button to load the actual position to field
A
.
7.
Move AB
: Pressing this button causes the axis to move towards position
A
and then to position
B
.
Use the corresponding
M
-button to load the actual position to fields
A
or
B.
If the axis is already
located at A, only a move to B is executed. If the
Loop After
-checkbox is checked, the move se-
quence A B will be repeated until another move button or the stop button
is pressed. The wait
time field at the right is used to set the delay at A and B before the next move starts.
8.
Couple
: This button can be used to couple the axis to an internal or external trajectory generator
(e.g. master slave mode or trajectory generation by a
Tama program
). See also the related docu-
OverrideControlSystem
needs only to be set with certain link protocols e.g.
EtherCAT
.
