Each movement, controlled from the PLC sequential program, is described by a SMOVE movement command function in the Control Expert language. From this SMOVE command, the TSX CAY modules work out a position/speed trajectory.
The Control Expert screens make it possible to easily achieve the configuration, adjustment, and setting of the axes.
The configuration screen enables the required parameters to be entered, in order to adapt the operation of the module to the characteristics of the machine. These are: the encoder type, position limits, maximum speed, etc. These parameters cannot be modified by a program. There is no default configuration.
The parameters offered by the adjustment screen are linked to axis operation. The parameters are adjusted when on or offline.
The operating parameters are:
-
corrected resolution,
-
movement control: errors of following, adjustment, overspeed, etc.,
-
stop control: delay, speed, debug window,
-
position loop: position gain, speed anticipation coefficient, offset,
-
command: soft stops, acceleration, acceleration profile,
-
manual mode parameters: speed, reference point value etc.
NOTE: These parameters can be changed by program.
The debug screen can only be accessed in online mode. This makes it possible to control and observe the performance of the axis.
Information and commands differ according to the operation mode chosen:
The top part of the screen indicates the operating state and diagnostics of the module. The lower part accesses the commands and indications on the operation of movement, inputs/outputs, errors, etc.
