The last section to be covered is
the ramp/counters section. To get
into this mode, press the ramp
push-button and the following
screen appears.
. SELECT.RAMP/COUNTERS
. F1=BATCH/TOTAL.COUNT
. F2=ACCEL/DECEL.RAMPS
. F4=EXIT.TO.MAIN.MENU
F1.=BATCH/TOTAL.COUNTS
Pressing the F1 key will bring up the
batch/total screen, which is used
for presetting the batch count or
resetting the total count. The
following screen appears.
. BATCH.COUNTER=000000
. TOTAL.COUNTER=000000
. SET:F1=BATCH.F2=TOT
. F4=RETURN.TO.RAMP.COUNT
Pressing the F1-batch counter key
allows the operator to preset a
batch count.
Pressing the F2-total counter key
resets the total count to zero. This
cannot be undone so be sure that the
counter should be reset to zero before
pressing F2 key.
Pressing the F4 key brings up the
following screen.
. SELECT.RAMP/COUNTERS
. F1=BATCH/TOTAL.COUNT
. F2=ACCEL/DECEL.RAMPS
. F4=EXIT.TO.MAIN.MENU
The only section that has not been
covered in this write-up is the ramp
adjust mode. The ramp adjusts how
fast the servo motor gets up to
speed and how fast it stops. This
feature is an asset that is seldom
adjusted but can be a sure cure if
material slippage seems to be
a problem. With the main menu
screen displayed the key labeled
ramp is active. Pressing the ramp
key produces this display.
. RAMP.PARAMETER.MODE
. F1=ACCEL%...F2=DECEL%
. F3=PERCENT.MAX.SPEED
. F4=RETURN.RAMP/COUNT
PRESS.F1.OR.F2
Pressing the F1 or F2 keys will produce
one of the following displays. The
lower the number entered, the longer
the ramp cycle. Press F1 or F2 now.
. ENTER.IN.%ACCEL.RATE
. MAX%=75000.RPM/SEC
. MAX.ACCEL%=XXX%
. F4=EXIT.%ACCEL.MENU
. ENTER.IN.%DECEL.RATE
. MAX%=75000.RPM/SEC
. MAX.DECEL%.=.XXX%
. F4=EXIT.%DECEL.MENU
The ramp usually is factory set at .015
on the series 100 drives and .035 on the
series 200 & 300 drives. There is some
deviation to this when the factory runs
the unit, but this is a basic starting point.
