Axisxx View

Use Axis to view or configure a specific axis for the device.
Axisxx View Example
The Axisxx view includes these parameters:
Parameter
Description
Step Angle (Steps per Revolution)
Determines the degree of movement of each step that the motor takes.
  • 1.8° (200)
  • 0.9° (400)
Motor Current
Specifies the continuous current that is supplied to the motor when the motor is moving.
Valid values are 0.1…4.0 A
Hold Current Percentage
Specifies the percentage of motor current to apply to maintain holding torque while the axis is stationary.
Valid values are 0…100%
Microsteps
Determines the number of microsteps that is equal to one full motor step.
Valid values are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, and 256
Velocity Profile
Determines the velocity profile to use for motion commands.
  • Trapezoidal – The axis accelerates/decelerates at a constant rate until it reaches the target speed.
  • S-curve – The axis accelerates/decelerates at a lower rate at the start, at target rate in the middle, and a lower rate towards the end to reduce jerk.
Maximum Speed
Specifies the maximum speed that the axis is allowed to move.
If the commanded velocity exceeds maximum speed, the actual velocity is limited to maximum speed and I.Axisxx.OverspeedAlarm is set to 1.
The value is in Engineering Units per second.
Jog Acceleration
Specifies the speed's rate of change for the Jog command.
The value is in Engineering Units per second
2
.
Engineering Units
Specifies the unit of measurement for position or distance.
Valid values are text strings. The string is used on the following fields:
  • Maximum Speed
  • Jog Acceleration
  • Home Speed
  • Home Final Speed
  • Home Acceleration
  • Home Position
Engineering Units Per Revolution
Specifies the number of engineering units in one revolution. The module uses this value to convert position, speed, and acceleration parameters between revolutions and engineering units.
Recalculate Units
When Engineering Units per Revolution is changed, use this button to recalculate values automatically for these configuration parameters:
  • Maximum Speed
  • Jog Acceleration
  • Home Speed
  • Home Final Speed
  • Home Acceleration
Invert Direction
Specifies whether to invert the logical motor direction to account for installation or mechanical orientation differences.
Checkbox
Positive Values (Forward)
Negative Values (Reverse)
Cleared
Clockwise
Counterclockwise
Selected
Counterclockwise
Clockwise
Diagnostics
Opens the Diagnostics dialog, which contains diagnostic information.
