4 Quick-start guide
4.4.2
Configuration of the display unit
By adapting the display units, physical variables such as the position, speed and
acceleration can be displayed in the Metronix ServoCommander
®
program as required by
your specific application. If you use a linear axis, for example, you can select translatory
display units so that the position will be indicated in mm, the speed in mm/s and the
acceleration in mm/s².
As the configuration of the display units is highly complex, only the basic principles will be
discussed in this section. You can find a detailed description in section 7.3
The field
Display mode
offers a range of default settings to choose from. The mode
Standard values
covers a wide range of applications.
4.4.2.1
Rotatory operation
The following is possible for rotatory systems:
l
Position values in revolutions, degree or radian
l
Speed values in revolutions/s or degrees/s or rad/s
l
Acceleration values in revolutions/s² or degrees/s² or rad/s²
In rotatory mode, you can enter a gear ratio if you want to adjust your application to the unit
at the output. To do so, tick the checkbox
with gear
.
4.4.2.2
Translatory operation
The following is possible for translatory systems:
l
Position values in units of length: m, mm or µm
l
Speed values in m/s, mm/s or µm/s
l
Acceleration values in m/s², mm/s² or µm/s²
In translatory mode, you need to define the unit of length corresponding to one motor
revolution. Enter this value into the field
Feed constant
.
4.4.2.3
Other setting options
The area
Display units
enables the selection of various units (for rotatory or translatory
operation). You can define whether you want torque values to be displayed in A or Nm. For
the latter, tick the checkbox
Torque in Nm
. A prerequisite is a correct conversion constant
(A
à
Nm) (button
Factor
).
In addition, the number of decimals for the position, speed and acceleration values can be
modified.
The selection of display units (including a transmission and feed constant) only affect the
indication of the values in the Metronix ServoCommander
®
program.
The settings inside the servo drive will not be changed.
