5 Drive Configuration
This chapter explains how to configure the registers in the Topology Tree to commission a servo axis.
The commissioning steps are also visualized in chapter 8.
5.1 Preparation
If the servo drive was already used for a different setup it is recommended to reset it to default settings
right-clicking the device node in the register tree, then clicking –
Manage persistence...
–
Disable per-
sistence
and rebooting the drive.
5.1.1 Required Data
Before commissioning a servo axis, axis specifications are needed. This section gives an overview of the
required data. If desired, additional values can be written to the
Axes[].Information
registers (see also
section 3.1.4).
Motor
Specifications found in the motor data sheet:
Type of motor: dc/ac, synchronous, linear/rotational
Peak current
Nominal current
Thermal time constant or current square time constant (or peak current duration)
if rotational motor
Torque constant
Number of pole pairs (check if number of pole pairs or if number of poles is specified)
Screw pitch if axis with lead screw
if linear motor
Force constant
Pole-pair pitch (distance between two north-poles or two south-poles)
if motor temperature is observed by the drive:
Type of sensor
Temperature limit
4 Important: Consider if the current is given as peak value or as root mean square value (RMS). Contact the manufacturer of the motor
if this is not declared in the data sheet.
