100 Configuring Axis Use
Battery Box Test
The Battery Box test helps adjust the response and gain potentiometers on
most velocity loop servo drives (amplifiers), by sending test signals
directly to the servo amplifier.
How to perform the Battery Box test
Be sure all external components are connected and the program, including
all configured Axis and Drive data, is downloaded.
Then, do the following:
1. Connect an oscilloscope to the tach (or velocity output) of the motor
2. In the Hookups page of the Configure Axis Use dialog box, type
entries in the Pulse Magnitude and Pulse Duration fields, and select a
Pulse Type from the drop-down list.
3. Select the Battery Test button.
4. View the battery test results in the oscilloscope. This displays the
resulting velocity profiles and lets you evaluate the adjustments.
(Refer to your servo drive manual for recommended drive
potentiometer settings.)
5. Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4, as necessary.
