Closed-Loop Systems
To test servo motors and closed-loop step motors:
1. Connect the encoder.
2. Test the encoder connections: watch the
Actual
field in the
Axis Operation
window
change while turning the motor shaft by hand.
3. Connect the motor. Choose the axis and click the
Abort
button in the
Axis Operation
window to disable PID control.
4. Manually turn the motor using the
Offset
field in the
Axis Operation
window.
5. Verify the motor/encoder phasing using the
Actual
field in the
Axis Operation
window.
6. Exercise and tune the PID control loop.
We recommend testing the wiring of closed-loop systems at each step.
This method should
make the process easier and save time.
This procedure assumes that you have successfully installed the controller, and that the Motion
Console program can execute properly. Also, before testing your system, you must configure
the
Axis Configuration
property page for closed-loop operation and select the appropriate motor
type.
