MOTOR DRIVE SET UP
1) Put the M–Traverse in “F–Stop” by opening the F–Stop input (J4 pins 9
and 10). Refer to
Installation/Setup: Wiring, F–Stop.
2) Set the drive's Acceleration and Deceleration potentiometers to their
fastest rates (minimum ramp time). The goal is to make the drive as
responsive as possible, which allows the M–Traverse to control the
speed changes.
3) If the drive has a Zero Speed Potentiometer, adjust it to eliminate any
motor creep. If the drive does not have a zero speed pot, then adjust
the zero speed pot on the M–Traverse to eliminate any motor creep.
Figure 2-28 shows the location of the M–Traverse zero speed pot.
4) If the drive has an IR Compensation Potentiometer, set it at minimum.
5) Each motor drive has settings that are unique to its particular model.
Adjust any remaining drive settings according to the manufacture's
recommendations.
ENCODER POLARITY CHECK
1) Observe MV-41 while you rotate the lead encoder in the direction that is
“forward” during normal operation. Switch the lead encoder lines on J3
pins 3 and 5 if MV-41 is negative.
2) Observe MV-42 while you rotate the Follower encoder in the direction
that is “forward” during normal operation. Switch the follower encoder
lines on J3 pins 7 and 9 if MV-42 is negative.
