Verify Motor Encoder
Resolution This test compares the physically measured distance to the distance
calculated by the software. It also verifies the encoder setting in the
RSLogix 5000 software.
1. Measure and mark a fixed distance of travel on the axis.
2. Record the ActualPosition tag value with carriage at the starting
position.
3. Move the carriage to the end position.
4. Record the ActualPosition tag value.
5. Calculate the distance moved using the record values.
6. Compare the actual distance and the calculated distance.
If the values do not match, verify resolution of installed encoder
and the values used in the Motor Feedback, Conversion, and
Units tabs.
Verify Linear Motor Wiring
and Function The Homing and Hookup tabs in RSlogix 5000 software check the
motor power (U, V, W), Hall sensing signals (S1, S2, S3) and the
encoder wiring are correct.
Follow this steps to verify your motor wiring and function.
1. Click the Hookup tab.
2. Configure the parameters.
The following table shows the Suggested Settings.
IMPORTANT
The following components must be wired correctly for your
drive and linear motor to operate properly:
• Hall Effect Module
• Coil Power Wires
• Thermistor
• Encoder
