Understanding IMC-S/23x Setups

Publication 999-122 - January 1997

While the servo output limit is specified in volts (assuming use of
voltage format servo output), it functions equally well with current
format servo output. If this axis is configured for current format servo
output, the actual servo output limit can be calculated as shown below.

For example, if the servo output limit is specified as 8.2 volts but the
axis is configured for current format servo output, the actual servo
output limit is 123 mA, as shown below.

Drive Fault Input

The IMC-S/23x provides a dedicated drive fault input for each physical
axis. These inputs may be connected to fault outputs on the servo
amplifiers (if provided) to notify the IMC-S/23x of a fault in the
amplifier itself.

If you are using the drive fault input, the "contact configuration" of the
amplifier’s drive fault output must be specified. Select

NORMAL

OPEN

drive fault contacts if your amplifier activates the drive fault input when
a fault occurs. Select

NORMAL CLOSED

drive fault contacts if your

amplifier deactivates the drive fault input when a fault occurs.

Editing the Positioning
Configuration

After editing the servo configuration, the IMC-S/23x asks

Toggle to

YES

and press ENTER to set up the positioning configuration

for this axis.

Position Lock Tolerance

The Position Lock Tolerance value specifies how much position error
the IMC-S/23x tolerates when giving an axis locked indication
(

LOCKED

displayed in the status field of the Standard Operator

Interface). As such, it is one of the factors which determines positioning
accuracy. Enter a value in position units for this axis equal to the desired
positioning accuracy of the axis and press ENTER.
