The ALIGN command aligns the encoder on the motor so that the drive can
commutate the motor correctly. This command is especially useful for
configuring a custom motor. To align the motor, use the following procedure:
1. Remove any load from the shaft. The procedure works best with an
unloaded motor.
2. Disable the drive by means of the hardware enable or by typing DRIVE0
into the terminal and pressing Enter.
3. Type DMODE3 in the terminal and press Enter to enter alignment mode.
4. Enable the drive by means of either the hardware enable or by typing
DRIVE1 into the terminal and press Enter.
5. Type ALIGN into the terminal and press Enter to begin the alignment
process.
6. The drive then begins the alignment procedure. This could take up to 20
seconds.
Note: The motor turns up to 90 degrees during this procedure.
7. The alignment process may modify the following parameters:
ENCOFF, ENCPOL, SHALL, CMDDIR, P163
These parameters are stored in the drive. If you want to store them in a
smart encoder, type the ESTORE command into the terminal and press
Enter
. It takes a couple of seconds to store the motor data in the motor.
