Online

The Online tab is the main dialog for online axis operation. Here the enable can be set and after this the corresponding axis can be moved manually. In addition, the most important axis states are displayed when the configuration is active.

DANGER

Risk of injury due to movement of axes!

The commissioning results in a movement of axes.

  • Make sure that neither you nor others are harmed by the movement, e.g. by maintaining a suitable safety distance.
  • Do not perform any action whose consequences you cannot estimate

WARNING

Incorrect axis position during initial commissioning

Without referencing / calibrating the axis position, the displayed axis position may deviate from the actual axis position.

  • Perform a homing to determine the correct actual position using a reference signal.

The dialog is divided into the display of the most important axis states, the setting of the axis enable, input fields as well as function keys for controller settings and travel commands. The units of the values depend on the set "Base" unit.

Display

The actual position of the axis is determined from the feedback of the encoder system and displayed in the large unlabeled field.

Setpoint Position

The target position is specified by the NC during a movement.

Lag Distance

The lag error is the difference between the nominal and actual position.

Actual Velocity

The actual velocity of the axis is determined by deriving the actual position.

Setpoint Velocity

The target velocity is calculated by the NC during a movement.

Override

The override set by the user (0..100%) is displayed here.

Total/Control Output

Total output of the NC axis to the drive in % and position control portion of the output in %.

Error

Axle error code. An axis error can be deleted with the reset key.

Set enables

Via the button Set the controller enable, the feed enables and the override of the axis can be set.

Input fields for position controller setting

If the NC axis is operated in velocity mode (CSV), the position is controlled by the NC. At this point the two most important parameters, the gain factor Kv and the reference velocity, can be set. Further setting options can be found in the parameters of the axis.

Input fields for travel commands

Target Position: Target position for a subsequent travel command (F5)

Target Velocity: Velocity of a subsequent travel command (F5)

Notice The signal source of the referencing cam can be set in the encoder parameters (Homing Sensor Source). In the default setting, the referencing cam signal must be mapped into the axis data structure (Axis.PlcToNc.ControlDword.5) by the PLC so that the sequence triggered with F9 can react to the cam.
