96 Configuring Axis Use
• Yes if the axis moved in the intended direction.
• No if the axis moved in the negative direction.
5. Based upon your response, GML Commander sets the values in both
the Transducer Polarity and Control Output Polarity fields.
Transducer Polarity
This field is set by successfully performing the Motor/Encoder test.
Control Output Polarity
This field is set by successfully performing the Motor/Encoder test.
Marker Test
If you have configured the controller to use the encoder marker for
homing (in the Homing page of this dialog box), use the marker test to
verify that the controller sees the marker.
How to perform the Marker test
Be sure all external components are connected and the program, including
all configured Axis and Drive data, is downloaded.
Then, do the following:
!
ATTENTION: Changing the Transducer Polarity
after the motor/encoder test has been successfully
completed can cause a RUNAWAY condition.
!
ATTENTION: Changing the Control Output Polarity
after the motor/encoder test has been successfully
completed can cause a RUNAWAY condition.
