Tuning Linear Stages with RSLogix 5000 Software
This section shows the steps to tune linear stages with RSLogix 5000 software,
version 16.
xx.
• Tuning your linear stage requires you to calculate and configure the loop
gain based on the actual measured inertia.
• By setting travel limits your application minimum deceleration is defined.
Tune Your Linear Stage
Use the following steps to set the parameters in the Axis Properties tab of
RSLogix 5000 software to tune a ball screw drive linear stage (catalog number
MPAS-
xxxxxx-VxxSxx).
1. In the Axis Properties dialog box, choose
Fault Actions tab>Set Custom Stop Action>Custom Stop Attributes.
2. Set the Brake Engage and the Brake Release delay times to the values listed
in
Brake Specifications for Ball Screw Linear Stage Motors on page 101 .
IMPORTANT ATTENTION: The Tuning and Loop Gain procedures apply only to
the ball screw linear stages.
The Travel Limit procedures apply to direct drive and ball screw linear
stages.
IMPORTANT ATTENTION: These procedures apply only to ball screw linear
stages.
TIP These parameter settings work best if the linear stage is installed in a
horizontal (table top) or a wall mount (vertical) orientation.
