Configuring the Kinetix 3 Drive Chapter 5

Understanding the Indexing
Window

The Properties window for Indexing looks like this.

Use the Indexing window to:

configure up to sixty-four indexes (0

63), and

open the Indexing Control Panel where you can:
start and stop execution of the index command
start and stop homing
enable or disable a drive, and
monitor the execution of an index.

An index controls drive operation by executing preconfigured motion
commands.

An index controls drive operation when Operating Mode is set to Indexing, in
the Kinetix 3 Drive window. The drive uses the index whose number (0

63)

reflects the cumulative binary values of the Preset Select Lines 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5,
that are selected in the Digital Inputs window.

The digital input Preset Select Line binary values are as follows:

Index Select 0 = 1 if active, 0 if not.

Index Select 1 = 2 if active, 0 if not.

Index Select 2 = 4 if active, 0 if not.

Index Select 3 = 8 if active, 0 if not.

Index Select 4 = 16 if active, 0 if not.

Index Select 5 = 32 if active, 0 if not.

If a Preset Select Line is not assigned to a digital input, the Preset Select Line is
considered inactive.
