In order to describe only the functions specific to axis control, it is assumed that the following operations have been carried out:
-
Control Expert software is installed,
-
The hardware has been installed: the modules, variable speed controllers and encoders controlling the 2 axes are connected.
Set-up Using Independent Axes
In order to set up this application, the following operations must be carried out:
-
Enter and declare project variables,
-
Program the project,
-
Enter the configuration parameters of the axes,
-
Adjust the axis control parameters,
-
Debug the program,
-
Save the project.
Set-up Using Interpolated Axes
With a TSX CAY 33 module, it is possible to use 2 interpolated axes to control the grab's movement through the plane (X,Y). In order to set up this application the same operations must be carried out as for 2 independent axes, with the addition of some operations specific to interpolation:
-
Configure the interpolator (channel 3), in addition to the independent axes,
-
Enter the symbols linked with interpolation,
-
Program the application by using the XMOVE function (not SMOVE)
