Understanding IMC-S/23x Setups

Publication 999-122 - January 1997

After the offset (and deadband for current loop servo amplifiers) has
been successfully compensated, the message

is displayed. After pressing any key, the motor/encoder test slowly
ramps up the servo output voltage until the axis has moved a distance
equal to the test increment. The IMC-S/23x then determines the
direction of axis motion and the message

is displayed. Toggle to the appropriate motion direction (

POSITIVE

or

NEGATIVE

) depending on whether the observed motion direction

was in the desired positive or negative direction for your application.

If the maximum servo output is reached before the axis has moved a
distance equal to the test increment, the message

is displayed. If this occurs, run the encoder test to check the encoder
separately from the drive. See Testing Encoders below for information
on the encoder test.

Once proper encoder operation of the drive, motor, and encoder or other
feedback transducer has been verified, the message

is displayed, indicating satisfactory completion of the motor/encoder
test.

ATTENTION: Press ESC (Escape) to immediately
abort the motor/encoder test.

ATTENTION: Turn off all power before
disconnecting or re-connecting cables.
