User interface of the DC link

DC link overview

This menu item provides an overview of all the components created in your application, including a description of the supply. This overview
is only populated once you have dimensioned
your axes and configured the load cases.

For further information on the components of your DC link, move your cursor over the images under your supply or capacitor module. If the information does not appear immediately, move the cursor over the images again and leave it there for a while.

Axis overview

This overview shows all the available application values (e.g. position of your load case or speed of the used motors) in a coordinate system. The application values must first be selected in the pull-down menu.

The graphs show the time dependency of all application values and the motors used in a common time base.

Performance overview

Operating elements for adding and removing

If your configuration is faulty (e.g. due to incorrectly dimensioned components), the TC3 Motion Designer reports an error.

This is shown as a red circle with a white exclamation mark.

To see a short description of the error, put the cursor
for a longer period of time over the red circle. An information box appears.

Reference for the nominal and application values:

• The nominal values refer to the DC link configuration.
• The application values refer to all axes that were created in the DC link.

The characteristic values are calculated automatically. All components added to the DC link serve as basis.

Use the + or - buttons to add components to your DC link or remove components (e.g. in the event of incorrect selection or configuration).

When is it necessary to remove / add components?

• In case of an error message
• In case of incorrect dimensioning (brake resistor too high)
• Incorrect component selection (different supply module etc. is required).

Performance view

These performance data are then graphically displayed in the performance view. The current values and application values are displayed. In this way, all settings can be visualized and double-checked.
