Configuring the Kinetix 3 Drive Chapter 5

Use the Velocity Control Panel window to directly set the drive's velocity in a
temporary velocity mode.

The commands you execute override any motion commands originating from the
drive's normal operation mode, set in the Kinetix 3 Drive window.

The Velocity Control Panel has these parameters, status, and direct commands.

The following commands can be executed from the Velocity Control Panel
window of an online drive.

Customize the Velocity Control Panel window for your Kinetix 3 drive by
selecting one or more of these commands.

Click Show Commands to display or hide the Commands pane.

Click Revert to return parameter settings to the values they held when you
opened this window.

ATTENTION: The Velocity Control Panel commands override the normal
operation mode. The motor moves in response to Velocity Control Panel
commands!

ATTENTION: The Jog Forward and Jog Reverse commands of the
Velocity Control Panel are not changed by the Command Polarity selection
in the Kinetix 3 Drive Window. They perform the command as though the
Command Polarity were set to Normal.

Parameter

when velocity changes.

Command

Description

Jog Forward

TIP

Closing the window returns the drive to its normal operating mode, but
with the software disabled. Select the drive and then execute an Enable
command as instructed in the Windows’ message to make the drive
operational.
