Settings - Commissioning

Load angle

The load angle provides information about the current mechanical load at the motor axis.

Activate / deactivate motor

This button sets or deletes the enable bit CB.0, thereby enabling or disabling the motor.

Clear Error

If an error has occurred, the button turns red. The error can be cancelled by pressing this button.

Status / position

The actual position is directly coupled with the process input data DataIN. The set position shows the current or last target position of the path control. The velocity is directly coupled with the process output data DataOUT. The value is calculated precisely in mm or mm/s via the application parameters in the Calculations tab. These values have to be specified carefully in order to ensure meaningful operation of the commissioning tool!

• Error
  Status bit SB.6 is shown here. In the event of a fault, clicking on the fault indicator causes a message window to appear that contains plain text information about the error(s).

• Warning
  Status bit SB.5 is shown here.

• Ready
  Status bit SB.0 is shown here.

• Input 1 / Input 2
  The status bits SW.0 and SW.1 are shown here.

Speed

Via the slider you can make the motor rotate counterclockwise or clockwise. The speed increases continuously, the further the slider is moved away from the central position.
The motor can be stopped with the STOP button. The slider will then return to the central position.
The motor can be controlled manually via the --, -, + and ++ buttons. The motor rotates as long as you press and hold the button:

Path control

The application parameters in the Calculations tab are used for exact calculation in mm, mm/s or mm/s². These values have to be specified carefully in order to ensure meaningful operation of the commissioning tool!

• V_min minimum velocity (R38)
  Here you can specify the minimum value for the velocity.
  This value can be changed during operation and is entered in the RAM of the terminal.

• V_max maximum velocity (R39)
  Here you can specify the maximum value for the velocity. The velocity must not exceed the value specified in the Calculations tab and is therefore limited automatically!
  This value can be changed during operation and is entered in the RAM of the terminal.

• A_max - maximum acceleration (R40)
  Here you can specify the maximum value for the acceleration.
  This value can be changed during operation and is entered in the RAM of the terminal.

• Target position 1 / Target position 2
  Here you can specify values for target positions 1 and 2. Positive or negative values are permitted.

• Actual position
  Here you can specify the value for the actual position. Positive or negative values are permitted.

• Relative positioning
• If the Relative positioning checkbox is activated, whenever a motion button is pressed the motor moves from the current position by the distance specified in the associated target position.
• If the Relative positioning checkbox is not enabled, the motor travels directly to these absolute target positions when the Start motion 1 or Start motion 2 is pressed.

WARNING

Stepper motor returns to absolute target position!

With relative positioning you can move the stepper motor repeatedly by the distance entered under target position.
If relative positioning is switched off and the Start motion button is pressed again, the stepper motor will return to its absolute target position!

• Start motion 1 / Start motion 2
  The buttons start target approach 1 or target approach 2. Target positions 1 and 2 are written into registers R2 and R3 of the terminal, and the motion command is started.

• Set
  This button saves the value entered in actual position as the new actual position of the terminal.

• Delete
  This button deletes the current position and the current latch values.
