28 Setup
On-Line Axis Setups Axis hookup and servo parameters can be readily handled through the
GML On-Line Manager Setup functions. For example, the Motor/
Encoder Test and the Align Absolute Transducer procedure are just
two of the functions that can be controlled using GML. The On-Line
Manager provides you with an interactive means of setting up your
motion controller axes. The sections below show how to use these
functions to help setup the REC. Refer to your controller’s
Installation and Setup Manual/User Guide and GML Programming
Manual for more information on how to use the On-Line Setup
functions.
Important: Before you proceed with On-Line Setups, verify that the
REC is installed correctly and that the GML program is
configured properly.
Selecting Axis/Drive Data Downloads
Before you proceed with On-Line setups you have to download your
GML diagram to the motion controller so that the information
contained in the diagram can be made available to the motion
controller.
To transfer the axis specific setup parameters from the diagram to the
motion controller, you have to select the Axis/Drive Data Downloads
option in GML before you download the diagram. To select Axis/
Drive Data Downloads:
1. From the menu bar, select Definitions. The Definitions window
appears.
2. Select Control Options. The Control Options window appears.
3. Select Axis/Drive Data Downloads. An X appears next to the
text.
4. Select Save. The Control Options window disappears.
Running a Motor/Encoder Test
Use the Motor/Encoder Test to check the electrical connection of the
servo drive and encoder interface and to establish the correct
rotational direction of the servo drive and encoder. Establishing these
motor and encoder polarities helps prevent runaway axis when the
feedback loop is closed. To select a Motor/Encoder Test:
1. From the menu bar, select Diagram. The Diagram menu appears.
2. Select Online. The Online Manager window appears.
3. Select Download Diagram. The program downloads to the con-
troller.
4. When the download is finished, select Enter Setups. The Do Set-
ups window appears.
