Specifying the scaling factor

The scaling factor is an application-specific parameter, which is required for converting position values.

Specifying the scaling factor 1:

In the Solution Explorer, open I/O → Devices → Device 1 → Drive 5 (1).

Open the TCDriveManager via the Configuration tab (2).

In the tree structure select Channel A → Parameter → Scalings and NC Parameters (3).

On the right next to the tree structure, there is a table showing various motor parameters and associated values (4). Since the initial parameter values are default values that were not explicitly saved by the user, they are regarded as invalid and therefore shown in red font. The individual parameter values depend on the scaling factor, so that all parameter values can be adjusted by modifying the scaling factor.

Adjust the scaling factor via the field Feed constant (5).

Select the unit (6).

Confirm the change with Save (7).

Specifying the scaling factor 2:

Acknowledge the information window with OK.

 

Specifying the scaling factor 3:

By confirming the change, the parameter values and their units are adjusted to the new reference value and appear in black font.

 

→ Your motor parameters are set correctly.

 

The configuration of Channel B follows the same procedure as for Channel A.
