Axis - Motor and Load tab

Configure the motion settings for the
Micro800
 controllers that support motion. Add an axis to create the axis configuration pages.
Use the
Axis<x> - Motor and Load
 configuration page to do the following actions:
  • Select the unit scaling that matches your mechanical system values.
  • Specify the count of pulses corresponding to one revolution of the motor.
  • Specify the distance covered by the load in one revolution of the motor.
  • Select the direction of the motor.
  • Select the method for interpreting the direction signal that the controller receives.
  • Specify the delay time for the motion logic when an axis is in
    Run
     mode and the motion direction is reversed.

Description
User-defined Unit
Position
Specifies the unit scaling that matches your mechanical system values.
The units are applied across all commands and axis user unit values for programming, configuration, and monitoring functions.
The specified unit for
Position
 is used for all unit parameters of the axis.
Options are:
  • mm
     for millimeter
  • cm
     for centimeter
  • inch
  • rev
     for revolution
mm
 is the default setting.
For example, if you specify inch as the user-defined unit for
Position
, then
inch
 is also used as the unit for
Travel per revolution
.
Time
Shows the read-only unit of time measurement for the controller. The unit is
s
.
Motor Revolution
Pulses per revolution
Specifies the count of pulses corresponding to 1 revolution of the motor.
The value is from 0.0001 through 8388607 in single precision floating format.
The default value is 200.0.
Travel per revolution
Specifies the linear or rotational distance covered by the load in a revolution of the motor.
The value is from 0.0001 through 8388607 in single precision floating format, measured in user-defined unit. For example, 1.0 mm.
Direction
Polarity
Specifies whether the direction signal received by the controller, as a discrete input, is to be interpreted on the input as
Inverted
 or
Non-inverted
.
  • Non-inverted
    : The signal is interpreted as received by the motion controller, without any inversion.
  • Inverted
    : The signal is inverted before being interpreted by the motion control logic.
Non-inverted
 is the default setting.
Mode
Specifies the direction of the motion.
Options are:
  • Positive direction
     for clockwise
  • Negative direction
     for counterclockwise
  • Bi-directional
Bi-directional
 is the default option.
Change delay time
Specifies the duration of the motion logic delay when an axis is in
Run
 mode and the motion direction is reversed.
The time delay allows the axis to stop before changing directions.
The value is from 0 through 100 milliseconds. The default value is
10 ms
