APPLYING THE MODULE
5.1 Required System Information
Before attempting to use this module you will need to know
the following information about your existing hardware:
1. Motor/Drive Regulator
- Maximum velocity
- Current or speed regulation in the drive. If the drive is
a speed regulator, does it use a proportional + integral
control?
- Maximum voltage for full scale reference to the drive
2. Encoder(s)
- Mode (step/direction, stepper motor, *2 quad, or *4
quad)
- Pulses/rev
- Whether marker pulse will be used for homing
3. System
- Mechanical gear-in (inches of travel/encoder
revolution
- Whether limit switches will be used for home,
overtravel, and drive fault. If so what is sense of limit
switches (normally open or closed)?
- If using gearing, what is the gear ratio between the two
axis?
5.2 Tuning
Before attempting to use the 2 Axis module in your
application, you should first tune the drive. This can either be
done manually or with the auto-tuning procedures supplied
on the application disk that came with your ReSource
