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.
