Primary 9/230 Components

Important: Since the adaptive depth probing feature requires one
feedback port to pass probe position data to the control and one feedback
port for normal axis positioning feedback, the adaptive depth feature is not
compatible with the single axis 9/230 processor which only has one
feedback port.
The adaptive depth probe is wired like any A quad B rotary encoder. It is
connected to one of the controls feedback ports. Refer to page 7A-1 for
details on cabling requirements for a feedback device. Table 3A.I lists
specifications for an encoder. These same specifications apply to your
adaptive depth probe.
If you are using the adaptive depth probe to close the position loop
(selected in AMP) the maximum axis speed calculations from Table 3A.I
also apply. Refer to your AMP reference manual for details on other
configuration required to operate using an adaptive depth probe.
In AMP the adaptive depth probe is assigned an axis name. Using the axis
monitor page for that axis (see page 15A-35) you can view the current
following error on the adaptive depth probe and the adaptive depth probe
position relative to zero. The probe is zeroed automatically at power up or
through PAL.
