• Tune drive before working with CPU

• Recalculate motor parameters

• Stationary measurement• Rotating measurement

• Test movement from Control Panel

• Check motor direction• Check motor speed, load

Commissioning: Drive

• Control loop• Extra tuning• Dynamic Servo Control

• For First Commissioning, set gain = 0

• Prevents any accidental moves

Commissioning: Technology Object

• Data exchange• Can invert direction here• Make sure the encoder

parameters are set correctly!

• Dynamic defaults• Used when not specified• Make sure they are not

too high

Commissioning: Technology Object

• Understand and choose what drives to use• Do drive tuning before integrating with PLC• Set the Technology Object Gain to 0 during first commissioning• Reverse motor direction from Data exchange setup• Set the dynamic default speeds

Summary

2. Architecture

• Tips & Tricks• Reusable Blocks• Unique Blocks

• Keep commands together• Calling multiple commands will interrupt each other• Easier to track & debug

• Do not put logic on EN rung• Standard practice for acyclic blocks• Should be called every scan

Tips & Tricks

• Create helpful udts & blocks• Split the status word into bits• Make the error word more useful

Tips & Tricks

• All Axes in project can use an instance of the same block

• Changes get pushed to all at once• Easy to drop into place• Sequence and control logic outside

of the block

Example: Reusable Block

c

• Contain complicated logic• Some functions used with all moves

• Customize the interface for more intuitive control

• No unused commands• Saves memory

• Incorporate specific alarms

Example: Unique Block

• Keep motion commands together• Create reusable udts & functions• Choose a consistent architecture & use it

Summary

3. NovelApproaches

• Tracing• Gearing• Superimposed Moves• Alarms

• Great for debugging issues you cannot see

• High speed• Logic timing

Tracing

c

c

• Sample with any OB• MC-Servo does

servo calculation

• Trigger on tag• Make tag for events• Pre-trigger for more info

Tracing

• Velocity Gearing• Great at following speed

with ratio• Gear ratio is DINT/DINT• Approximate position

gearing

Gearing

c

• Adds a motion on top of the current motion• Can adjust the ending position in the middle of an absolute move• Can adjust the current position in a velocity move• Several possible

velocity profiles

Superimposed Moves

• Combine superimposed move with gearing• Monitor current position vs where it should be• Adjust if too far off using superimposed move

Combined

• Alarm based on the error word• TO_Axis.ErrorDetail.Number

• Technology Alarm• Text List based on alarm number

Alarming

• Use tracing to follow what you cannot see• Keep track of
