Configuring the Logix
Designer Application for
Linear Stages with Kinetix
Multi-axis Drives The Logix Designer application parameters provide basic setup and tuning data
for MP-Series Integrated Linear Stages.
•
Setting Axis Properties in the Logix Designer Application provides basic
drive parameters for a linear stage in a table specific to the type of linear
stage, either direct drive linear or a ball screw.
•
Tuning Linear Stages by Using the Logix Designer Application begins on
page 44. It provides sections that describe how to complete these tasks:
–
Tune Your Linear Stage – only ball screw stages
–
Calculate and Configure the Loop Gain – only ball screw stages
–
Setting Travel Limits - both direct drive and ball screw stages
Setting Axis Properties in the Logix Designer Application
Use these parameter settings when configuring the ControlLogix drive system for
your linear stage. Parameter settings differ between the direct drive and ball screw
linear stages.
The following steps assume the MP-Series linear stage and a Kinetix 2000 or
Kinetix 6000 servo drive are installed and wired as one axis of a motion system.
Direct Drive Linear Stages
Set these parameters in the appropriate Axis Properties tab of the Logix Designer
application for direct drive linear stages, catalog number MPAS-
xxxxxx-
ALM x2C.
ATTENTION: Incorrect parameter settings can result in uncontrolled motion,
with the potential for damage to the stage and machine.
Do not set the Positioning mode to Rotary for any linear stage. This results in
incorrect positioning of the linear stage.
Initiating a motion command on a stage with an incorrect Position mode setting
can result in damage to the stage and the machine.
