Drive Configuration
Preparation
Encoder
Specifications found in the encoder data sheet:
Encoder pitch or encoder counts per motor revolution
Max allowed encoder speed
Additional information about the axis
The following aspects of the axis should be considered before commissioning an axis:
How should the axis be named (e.g. Axis_X, Axis_Y ...)
Total inertia of the axis
Topology of the axis (linear/rotational, single-loop/dual-loop, horizontal/vertical, ...)
How are the encoders connected to the drive (which connector of the drive is used to connect the
encoders)
How is the motor connected to the drive (which connector of the drive is used to connect the mo-
tor)
How will the axis be referenced
Move range of the axis
Dynamic specifications of the axis (max velocity, max acceleration, max jerk)
How should the axis be controlled (
TwinCAT
, stand-alone with
Tama
program,
PC
-application with
TAM API
)
Safety considerations (
STO
, ...)
Additional requirements …
5.1.2 Naming of Stations and Axes
To easily identify the related physical axis, it is recommended to change the station name and the axis
name to a meaningful expression. For example if
Axis0
is used to drive the
X
axis and
Axis1
is used to
drive the
Y
axis, name the station
Station_XY
and the axes
Axis_X
and
Axis_Y
for how to rename stations and axes.
