Axis commissioning
General
The requirements for commissioning axes include, in particular, knowledge and use of the NC's safety functions along with a grasp of the necessary precautions along with the observation of a specific sequence of commissioning steps for the axis elements (encoder, drive and controller), as well as setting the axis parameters.
Encoders and actual values
Determination and setting the most important encoder parameters: encoder polarity, scaling (increments per mm), position offset (zero offset shift).
Drive and voltage output
Determination and setting the most important drive parameters: drive polarity, reference output, reference speed, drift compensation.
Position control and reduction of the following error
Determination and setting the most important position control parameters: Kv factor and parameters for reduction of the following error.
Axis parameters, axis monitoring and axis calibration
Determination and setting the most important axis parameters: maximum velocity, following error monitoring, end position monitoring and the parameters for dynamic behaviour and calibration.
