At a Glance
The debug screen is different according to the switch position selected. There are four possible choices:
The fields and buttons that appear in the four screens are detailed below.
Description of the Movement / Speed Field
This table describes the display zones of the Movement / Speed field:
Display zone
Description
X Current
Displays the position of the moving part in number of pulses.
X Target
Displays the position setpoint of the moving part (position to be reached)
X Remainder
Displays the number of pulses left to run
F Current
Displays the speed of the moving part in number of pulses
F Target
Displays the speed setpoint of the moving part: speed to be reached (manual speed modulated by the SMC (Speed Modulation Coefficient))
N G G9
In auto mode, displays the instruction currently being executed:
  • N for the number of steps
  • G9 for the type of movement
  • G for the instruction code
Position
This slider shows the evolution of the moving part between the limits defined in the configuration screen. The color of the slider is green and becomes red if the limits are exceeded.
Speed
This slider displays as a % the speed of the moving part in relation to the maximum speed. The color of the slider is green and becomes red if VMAX is exceeded.
This table describes the indicators in the Movement / Speed field:
Indicator
Status
Meaning
+Direction
-Direction
/
Indicates a movement of the moving part in the positive direction
Indicates a movement of the moving part in the negative direction
AT Point
On
Indicates that the movement in progress has finished and that the moving part has reached the target point
NEXT
On
Indicates that the moving part is ready to receive a movement command
DONE
On
Indicates that the movement in progress has finished
Immediate pause
On
Indicates that the immediate pause function is activated SMC (Speed Modulation Coefficient) set to 1). At this moment the target position contains the immediate pause stop position.
Description of Axis Field
This table describes the display and command zones of the Axis field:
Indicator / Button
Status
Meaning
OK
On
Axis in operational state (no blocking fault)
Referenced
On
Referenced axis:
Stopped
On
Moving part stationary
Enable
/
This button is used to control the variable speed controller activation relay
Description of I/O Field
This table describes the display zones of the I/O field:
Indicator
Meaning
External stop
Signal state (0 or 1) on External stopinput. The indicator is on when the external stop is activated, with presence of 24V on the input.
End of run +/-
Activity of +/- limit switch function. The indicator is on when the moving part is at the limit switch stop, with absence of 24V on the input.
RP Cam
Signal state (0 or 1) on Reference point input. The indicator is on when the moving part is on the cam, with presence of 24V.
Event Cam
Signal state (0 or 1) on Event input. The indicator is on when the moving part is on the event cam, with presence of 24V.
Ctrl trans
The indicator is on when the translator does not deliver the signal ready. The indicator is off when the translator gives the signal OK. The levels depend on the selection made at configuration.
Loss of step
Signal state (0 or 1) onLoss of step monitoring input, signal delivered by the translator. The indicator is on when the input is set to 1(cable disconnected), otherwise it is off.
Reset step
This button controls the resetting of the detection system which detects loss of translator step.
1 = indicator on, 0 = indicator off
Description of Commands
This table describes the command zone:
Command
Description
STOP
Causes the moving part to stop according to the deceleration defined on configuration
Param
Is used to enter the value of an incremental movement (INC+ or INC- command) or the forced reference point
SMC (Speed Modulation Coefficient)
Is used to enter a value from 0 to 2000 which determines the speed multiplier coefficient (0.000 to 2.000 in steps of 1/1000)
Descriptions of EVT Sources
This table describes the EVT sources zone:
Command
Description
RefP (indicator)
Indicates positioning of the event cam (reflex input) in response to SMOVE request (G07)
RefP (field)
Displays the stored PREF position
End G10/G11
Indicates that an event has occurred during execution of the G10 or G11 instruction
End G05
Indicates the end of execution of the G05 instruction
TO G05
Indicates that the Time Out, defined in the G05 instruction, has elapsed
Description of Commands Field
This table describes the buttons of the Commands field:
Command
Description
JOG-
Visual movement command in the negative direction (1)
JOG+
Visual movement command in the positive direction (1)
INC-
Incremental movement command in the negative direction, for a distance defined in the Param field
INC+
Incremental movement command in the positive direction, for a distance defined in the Param field
Manual reference point
Order to search and take manual reference point. The current position takes the value RP Value, defined in the adjustment screen, having found the reference point conforming to the type defined on configuration.
Forced reference point
With an incremental encoder, forced reference point order. The current position is forced to the value defined in the Param field
This type of reference point does not cause movement of the moving part
Brake
Manual command for the activation or deactivation of the brake output
In the case where automatic brake management is configured, it is the last activation or deactivation command edge between this manual BRAKE command (%Qr.m.c.13) and the automatic command that is taken into account.
Boost
Manual command for the activation or deactivation of the boost output
In the case where automatic boost management is configured, it is the last activation or deactivation command edge between this manual BOOST command (%Qr.m.c.14) and the automatic command that is taken into account.
Pause
Stop the movement sequence at the end of the next movement with stop
PLC Sync
Order to trigger an event from the processor
(1) These commands remain active as long as the button is pressed. They are used to release the moving part outside the soft stops (after fault acknowledgment).
Description of Faults Field
This table describes the display and command zones of the Faults field:
Indicator/ Button
Status
Meaning
Cmd refused
On
Refusal of last command
Hardware
On
External hardware fault (encoder, variable speed controller, outputs, etc.)
Axis
