keep moving the axis back and forth with increasing speed until you reach the desired

speed. Should the system seem a little sloppy, try decreasing the

FOLLOWING ERROR

parameter and adjusting the

PROPORTIONAL GAIN

until the axis can be moved

without getting an error.
Remember: the parameters are not updated in the motion controller until the

Set

Parameters

command is issued. They are not stored into the motion controller

FLASH

memory

until the

Update FLASH

command is issued.

Jogging the Axis

You can jog the axis by setting the

COMMAND VALUE

to the

EXTEND LIMIT

or

RETRACT LIMIT

and using the

Go

and

Halt

commands repeatedly. This causes the

Motion Control Module to

Go

and

Halt

.

Saving Parameters and Profiles

After the system is set up and tuned, you need to store the parameter and profile values in

the Programmable Controller. This is done using the

Get Parameter

and

Get Profile

commands. Only the parameters for the axes used need to be saved, and only the profiles

used need to be saved.
