Commissioning

Commissioning 1:

Exemplary commissioning

The procedure for commissioning is described as an example. A different method may be appropriate or necessary, depending on the application of the components.

Commissioning 2:

Requirements for commissioning

Before commissioning the AL8200 MES, the following steps must be completed:


The commissioning of the AL8200 MES is to be carried out as follows:

Commissioning 3:
1. Create new TwinCAT project
Commissioning 4:
2. If connected to target system, scan devices
Commissioning 5:
3. Accept message "HINT: Not all types of devices can be found automatically" with "ok"
Commissioning 6:
4. Select Ethernet port
Commissioning 7:
5. Confirm the scan prompt with "yes"
Commissioning 8:
6. AX5000 Motor scan Select "no" button (linear motors cannot currently be scanned)
Commissioning 9:
7. Select NC or CNC axis
Commissioning 10:
8. Add new project
Commissioning 11:
9. Select new Drive Manager 2 project
Commissioning 12:
10. Confirm supply voltage query and motor scan with "Continue"
Commissioning 13:
11. Click "OK"
Commissioning 14:
12. Confirm upcoming message with "OK
Commissioning 15:
13. Open the relevant channel in the Solution Explorer under the Drive Manager 2 project
Commissioning 16:
14. The Drive Manager 2 opens
Commissioning 17:
15. Select the AL8000 linear motor under "Motor/Select
Commissioning 18:
16. In the "Load" submenu, parameterize and save feedrate and mass
Commissioning 19:
17. Select feedback (Beck#AL8200MES-5V-1Vpp)
Commissioning 20:
18. Determine direction of rotation and commutation angle in parameter P-0-0166 (see also AX5000 System Manual, chapter 9.6.2)
Commissioning 21:
19. "Equal directions" / "Yes"
The value for "Commutation position difference" should now lie within the range: 355...360 = 0...5.
Commissioning 22:
20. Set "Commutation mode" in parameter P-0-0150 to "Commutation offset 0 deg (2)"


The axis can then be moved, e.g. for controller optimization.
