The range covers a wide variety of requirements from the control of independent movements through to the control of 3 interpolated axes on a cartesian mechanism.

It is designed for machines which require high performance movement control together with simultaneous sequential control via a PLC.

It is not currently designed for non-cartesian mechanisms such as SCARA type robots or poly-articulated mechanisms. It cannot handle circular interpolation.

1.1-2 Set of 2 components

Multi-axis control modules

There are 2 modules :

• 2-axis module with inputs for incremental encoder or absolute encoder with serial link :

TSX AXM 292.

This type of module is used for controlling a group of 2 interpolated axes or 2 independent axes.

• 4-axis module with inputs for incremental encoder or absolute encoder via serial link :

TSX AXM 492.

This type of module is used for controlling a group of 3 interpolated axes and one independent axis, or 2 groups of 2 interpolated (or independent) axes or 4 independent axes.

Capacity of TSX AXM 492 module :

- 4 axes with incremental encoder

- 3 axes with absolute encoder

Setup software

PL7-3 language extension software, comprising 3 function blocks :

• MOVE for controlling independent axes,

• DMOVE for controlling 2 linearly interpolated axes,

• TMOVE for controlling 3 linearly interpolated axes.

This software is used for adjusting the parameters of the axes and for initiating movements. It runs under the X

TEL or

MINI X-TEL software workshop (V5).

__________________________________________________________________________________________

1/3

__________________________________________________________________________________________

1.2 Functions

For each of the axes, multi-axis control modules provide :

Inputs :

• An input for the acquisition of position measurements from an incremental encoder

(with encoder contamination fault signal) or an SSI absolute encoder.

• An input serving as a reference point cam (if an incremental encoder is selected).

• An event input.

• A speed drive fault input.

• A speed drive present or emergency stop input.

Outputs :

• A

10 V analog output isolated from the logic part of the module, with a resolution of

13 bits + sign for controlling a speed drive connected to a self-starting synchronous motor, or to a self-controlled asynchronous motor.

• A relay output for speed drive validation.

Functions

TSX AXM 292/492 multi-axis control modules control the position and linear motion of moving parts (on cartesian mechanisms). Single movement commands are given by the main sequential control program of the machine, but performed and controlled by

TSX AXM 292/492 modules.

The axes on a module may be linearly interpolated in groups of 2 or 3 to control a cartesian mechanism (example : XY table or gantry).

The position is measured by :

• An RS 485 incremental encoder (maximum frequency 250 kHz). The module selects multiplication by one or by four.

• An absolute encoder, 16 to 24 data bits, with serial link, and transmission using SSI protocol.

Position control servo loop :

The equalizer is a proportional type with feedforward to reduce deviation.

Control profile :

The user can choose between two types of profile for each group of axes :

• Trapezoid speed profile (acceleration and deceleration are separate variables which can be modified).

• Parabolic speed profile (the acceleration and deceleration derivative functions are separate variables which can be modified).

Trapezoid speed time

Parabolic speed time

Description of movements :

Each elementary movement is defined by a movement control function block in PL7-3 language. This ensures a true symbiosis between the movement control and the actual sequential control. The standard organization of programs and data in TSX/PMX model

40 version V5 PLCs provides flexible commands suitable for the productivity demands for modern manufacturing machines.

1.3 Performance

The characteristics of the movements do not depend on the incremental or absolute nature of the encoders. The maximum characteristics depend on the resolution and unit selected.

1.4 Operation

The machine axes are organized into groups of 1, 2 or 3 axes according to whether they are to operate independently or to be interpolated in twos or threes.

Each group is controlled by a function block :

• TMOVEi for 3 interpolated axes,

• DMOVEi for 2 interpolated axes,

• MOVEi for one independent axis.

Each group is identified by the number and type of function block by which it is controlled.

Example :

In the diagram below :

• Group 0 consists of axes 0, 1 and 2,

• Group 1 consists of axis 3.

Group 0 is controlled by function block TMOVE2 and group 1 by function block MOVE0.

Introduction to multi-axis control

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Each movement of the moving part is controlled by the execution of the movement control function block in the PL7-3 program.

The PLC program integrates control of the automated system involving both sequential and movement control.

These function blocks are used to define and send the characteristics of each elementary movement to the axis control module which executes the command and controls the movements.

The module performs the sequence of commands autonomously by means of a storage mechanism. The TSX AXM 292/492 module stores two successive movement commands for each group of axes : the command currently being executed and the next command.

The execution time for a movement must be greater than the master task cycle time.

TSX AXM 292/492 modules perform multi-axis interpolation functions, position control functions, and send speed settings in the form of voltage signals in the range ± 10 V to the speed drives assigned respectively to each axis.

1.7 Description of PL7-MAX software

PL7-MAX multi-axis control setup software comprises :

• Movement control function blocks which are extensions of PL7-3 software, for programming movements (OFB MAX diskette).

• A software tool which runs under the MINI X-TEL and X-TEL software workshops, for adjusting and moving the axes (ADJ MAX diskette).

Programming movements

The OFB MAX movement control software provides 3 types of function block : MOVE,

DMOVE and TMOVE.

Various software workshop and PL7-3 software tools are used to set up multi-axis control.

A movement is initiated by executing the control function block in the PL7-3 program.

Example :

Go to the absolute position 10 000 000

µ m, at a speed of 200 mm/min, without stopping.

Significance of each parameter :

MOVE0 : move along an axis

01 : movement number 1

G90 : move to an absolute position

G01 : instruction code corresponding to movement to a position without stopping.

10 000 000 : position to be reached by the moving part in

µ m.

200 : speed of the moving part in mm/min.

EXEC MOVE0 (01;G90;G01;10000000;200 )

200 mm/min

10 m Position

EXEC TMOVE0 (01;G90;G01;DW50;DW52;DW54;DW60 )

Example : Syntax for 3-axis control

In this example, the position to be reached is stored in word DW50 for the X axis, DW52 for the Y axis and DW54 for the Z axis, and the velocity in word DW60. These words

1/10

Introduction to multi-axis control

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Instructions

The characteristics of movements are described using a syntax similar to that for a numerical control program block written in ISO language.

Multi-axis control provides the following instructions :

G09 : move to the position and stop

G01/G30/G31 : move to the position without stopping (1)

G10 : move until an event is detected and stop

G11 : move until an event is detected without stopping

G14 : reference point on axis X

G15 : reference point on axis Y

G16 : reference point on axis Z

G20 : reserved for the system

G54 : validate the offset in relation to an indexed position

G53 : cancel the offset in relation to an indexed position

G05 : await an event

G07 : memorize the current position when an event occurs

Codes G90 and G91 placed before the instruction codes indicate whether the target position is absolute or relative.

Programming a trajectory

A complete trajectory can be programmed by means of a series of movement control function blocks.

Grafcet language is ideal for this type of programming. A single movement is associated with a step.

2 1 EXEC MOVE0 (01;G90;G01…

2 EXEC MOVE0 (02;G90;G09…

3 EXEC MOVE0 (03;G90;G09…

__________________________________________________________________________________________

1/11

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Once the multi-axis control application has been programmed using PL7-3, the

ADJ MAX software tool is used to adjust the various axis parameters and to start up the application. The ADJ MAX software tool operates under the X-TEL or MINI X-TEL software workshop in connected mode.

Adjusting the axes

The ADJ MAX software tool provides assistance with entering and modifying the values of the various axis parameters on site. These parameters enable the operation of the module to be adapted to the machine which is to be controlled. After validation, these parameters are transmitted to the function blocks which control the axes.

There are two types of parameter :

• Axis configuration parameters : type of encoder, encoder resolution, maximum and minimum position limits, speed, etc. These parameters are linked to the machine and cannot be modified by the program

• Axis operation parameters, of which there are three categories :

- Command parameters : soft limits, maximum acceleration and deceleration, velocity profile, etc.

- Servo parameters : position gain, feedforward coefficient, etc.

- Error control parameters : deviation, etc.

These parameters can be modified using the PL7-3 program.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

1/12

Introduction to multi-axis control

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Debugging

The ADJ MAX software tool also provides the user with a control panel screen, giving him a quick visual display which he can use to control and observe the operation of a group of axes.

A simplified control panel is also available which provides a simultaneous display of 4 independent axes.

The upper area of the screen is the display part (measurement, deviations, current instruction, etc).

The lower area of the screen is the control part (selection of axis to be monitored, selection of operating modes, manual controls).

The manual and simulation operating modes are used for testing the axes and the program.

Operator dialogue and control

The user can make use of all the commands and all the axis control parameters and measurements in the CPU in the form of PL7-3 language objects. He can thus design the control dialogue for his machine and include in it all or part of the axis control data.

This operator dialogue can be supported by TSX CPX 37 or CCX 57/77 terminals.

Items required for multi-axis control

__________________________________________________________________________________________

2.1 Items required for multi-axis control

A multi-axis control application is programmed using PL7-3 software and various X-TEL and MINI X-TEL software workshop tools (XTEL-CONF, XTEL-SDBASE,

XTEL-TRANSFER).

It is therefore necessary to be familiar with this software in order to be able to program a multi-axis application successfully.

Only the part which relates to setting up multi-axis modules is described in this manual.

For further information, refer to the following manuals :

• X-TEL or MINI-XTEL reference manuals and those on the basic tools.

• PL7-3 operating modes and reference manuals.

4.1-1 Possible locations for modules

TSX AXM •92 modules must be installed :

• in PLC configurations using V5 processors,

• in fan-cooled racks having a complete bus, and supplied by a TSX SUP 702.

It is not possible to install a TSX AXM •92 module in a TSX RKE 8 / RKE 7 direct extension rack.

The maximum number of multi-axis control modules which can be used in a PLC configuration depends on :

• the type of processor selected

• the power consumption of each rack

• the response times (see Section 15)

The following table shows the number of axes recommended by Telemecanique :

Typical number of axes per configuration

P47

These numbers are given for a master task duration of 100ms with 30% of the PLC processor capacity used for multi-axis control.

General rules

• Do not install more than 3 TSX AXM •92 modules in one rack.

• In the software configuration, the modules must be declared in the master task.

• Since TSX AXM •92 modules have a high passband, they should be kept away from all sources of electromagnetic radiation. It is therefore also advisable keep them away from devices which switch high voltages.

• They should not be connected or disconnected when switched on.

• When modules are used in remote racks, it is advisable to power these remote racks from the same 220V electrical supply as the main rack.

4.1-2 Locating devices

There are 3 female coding devices on the back of the module :

• TSX AXM 292 : code 736

• TSX AXM 492 : code 737

To ensure correct installation, set the rack coding devices to the appropriate code.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

4.2 Connection

4.2-1 Principles

A TSX CAC 90 kit is used for connection. It comprises :

• Four 9-pin male SUB-D soldering connectors for connecting the encoders.

• One 25-pin male SUB-D soldering connector for connecting the analog outputs.

• One 25-pin female SUB-D soldering connector for connecting the auxiliary I/O and the power supplies.

Extreme care should be taken when connecting the encoder and auxiliary signals, and the 5 V and 24 V supplies on TSX AXM 492/292 modules.

The following should be taken into account when connecting :

• Voltage drop in the cables carrying the encoder supplies (0V and 5V). The 5V at the encoders should be within the limits given by the manufacturer (generally

5%).

• The encoder inputs and certain of the auxiliary inputs are very high speed. They must therefore be protected against external induced noise in serial and common mode. All connections must be made using screened cables and if possible (especially for the

RS485 encoder signals) in twisted pairs.

The screening must be grounded at both ends of the cable and it is strongly recommended that the power supply 0 V is connected to ground (at each supply output).

The screening must be tightly fastened in the clamp on the metal-coated plastic cover.

Grouping the cables in bundles :

Where the signals are of the same type, it is possible to group cables into multiple pair bundles.

Cable routing :

• Keep the measurement wires away from the discrete I/O cables (especially the relay outputs) and the power cables.

• Avoid parallel routing (the cables should be at least 20 cm apart) and make any crossings at right angles.

4.2-2 Connecting an incremental encoder

Inputs ENC0, ENC1, ENC2 and ENC3 (ENC0 and ENC1 only for the TSX AXM 292 module) will take incremental encoders with RS485 compatible outputs. Telemecanique has a complete range of XCC incremental encoders (see the general or specialized catalogues).

It is advisable to use a screened cable of 5 twisted pairs (4 twisted pairs if the contamination fault signal is not wired), with the screening correctly connected to the body of the connector at the module end and the body of the encoder at the process end.

If the encoder has a 5V power supply and the cable between the encoder and the module is 30m or less.

The following table gives the cross-sections for the 5V and 0V supply wires for distances of up to 30m between the module and the encoder.

Inputs ENC0, ENC1, ENC2 and ENC3 (ENC0 and ENC1 only for the TSX AXM 292 module) will take SSI protocol absolute encoders with asynchronous serial outputs (see list of compatible absolute encoders in the Appendices).

It is advisable to use a screened cable of 3 screened twisted pairs, with the screening correctly connected to the body of the connector at the module end and the body of the encoder at the process end.

If the encoder has a 5V power supply and the cable between the encoder and the module is 30m or less.

• Disconnect the 5 V power supply

• Connect or disconnect, as appropriate

• Reconnect the power supply

If the encoder receives its power supply from an external source (5 V or 24 V)

• Disconnect the 5 V power supply from the input stage of the AXM module then the encoder supply

• Connect or disconnect, as appropriate

• Reconnect the encoder supply then the 5 V supply to the module input stage.

4.2-4 Connecting the auxiliary I/O

A PWS I/O connector is used to connect the power supplies, the event-triggered inputs, the reference point cams and the speed drive locking relay outputs.

Notes

• When 2-wire and 3-wire proximity sensors are used, power them from the 24 VE and 0VE.

• The wiring of the high-speed inputs must never form a loop which would create a surface sensitive to electromagnetic induction. Use screened cable.

• The 24V supply must be dedicated to the TSX AXM 292/492 module and must never supply other electromagnetic devices.

5.1 Description of the example used

This example is given for information and learning purposes (1). It will enable you to follow all the stages involved in setting up a multi-axis control system without having to read all the documentation.

A transfer device removes all the items as they leave the manufacturing process. This device consists of a clamp which can move spatially on a plane (axis X, Y) parallel to the ground.

As soon as an item appears on exit conveyor A, the clamp will automatically pick it up and transfer it to conveyor B or conveyor C, depending on the type of item. The clamp then returns to waiting position ready to pick up another manufactured item as soon as one is detected.

I/O :

• SENSOR1 : cell for detecting presence of manufactured item

• SENSOR2 : sensor for identifying the type of item

• SENSOR3 : sensor for detecting clamp open/clamp closed

• SENSOR4 : cell for detecting edge of item (in the clamp), connected to module eventtriggered input

• ENC0 : incremental encoder for position on axis X

• ENC1 : incremental encoder for position on axis Y

• O/C clamp : open/close clamp command.

(1) Note : This example can also be created with two independent axes. It has been chosen for its simplicity.

Pre-processing

The pre-processing comprises the management of the operating modes.

At a blocking error :

• The chart freezes.

• The operator can then control the moving part in manual mode, and correct and acknowledge the error from the front panel.

• The chart is reinitialized when the error has disappeared and has been acknowledged.

When changing to manual mode :

• The chart freezes.

• The chart is reinitialized when AUTOMATIC mode is selected again.

7.2 Loading the ISO instruction codes (optional operation)

7.2-1 General

The various operations described below are optional, and make use of the ISO instruction codes for multi-axis control used for programming movements under PL7-3.

Caution : Since the instruction codes are associated with constants CW0 to CW13, it is important that these constants are not used elsewhere in the application.

It is possible not to use these ISO codes, to define your own instruction codes, or to associate these instruction codes with other CW constant addresses. For information on this, see Section 7.2-5 "Special cases".

The multi-axis control instruction codes are contained in 2 files :

• MAX.SCY : file containing the instruction symbols (G01,G09...).

• MAX.CST : file containing the corresponding codes (1,9,...) recognized by the OFB.

7.2-2 Importing the files containing the instruction codes

The following operation consists of importing the 2 files MAX.SCY and MAX.CST into the PL7-3 MOD zone so that they can be used. To do this :

• Click on the station PL7-3 icon and select the Import command from the menu which appears when using X-TEL (under MINI X-TEL, select the PL7-3 icon and the Import function from the Import/export command in the File menu).

• The "Import files" dialogue box then appears.

- Select the source :

Directory : C:\XPROSYS\OFB\AXIS

- Select the target :

File : MAX.SCY and MAX.CST

Directory : D:\XPROPRJ\Name_Project\Name_Station\PL7_3\MOD

7.2-5 Special cases

You do not wish to represent your instructions with symbols :

In this case do not perform any of the operations described in Sections 7.2-2 to 7.2-4, and when programming the function blocks, do not enter the ISO instruction symbol but its code, for example enter : EXEC DMOVE0 (1;90;1;....=>) in place of EXEC DMOVE0 (1;G90;G01;....=>)

You wish to use your own symbols :

In this case do not perform any of the operations described in Sections 7.2-2 to 7.2-4.

Under XTEL-SDBASE, enter your symbols (using 8 characters maximum) and associate them with constants CWi to CWi+13.

Example :

GOTO_SA

....

CW100

ABSOLUTE CW108

...

MEM_PRF CW113

Under PL7-3 in CONSTANT mode, enter the codes in constants CWi ( GOTO_SA ) to

CWi+13 ( MEM_PRF ).

Example :

GOTO_SA 1

....

ABSOLUTE 90

...

MEM_PRF 7

When programming the function blocks under PL7-3, do not enter the ISO instruction symbol, but the symbol defined, for example enter :

EXEC DMOVE0 (1;ABSOLUTE;GOTO_SA;....=>) in place of

EXEC DMOVE0 (1;G90;G01;....=>)

You wish to use symbols but at different constant addresses :

In this case do not perform any of the operations described in Sections 7.2-2 to 7.2-4.

Under XTEL-SDBASE enter the symbols and associate them with constants CWi to

CWi+13. Example :

7.4 Entering the Group and Axis addresses and the Label

7.4-1 Description of the parameters

The group address ADGROUP and axis address ADAXIS configuration parameters assign the module, the axis group and the axes which are to be controlled to a multi-axis control function block.

ADGROUP : group address

Simultaneously codes the module physical address and the number of the axis group.

Coding is performed on words in hexadecimal.

H' • • • • ' group number : 0 to 3 for TSX AXM 492

0 to 1 for TSX AXM 292 slot number in the rack 0 to 7 rack number 0 to F

Example : TSX AXM 492 module in slot number 5 in rack number 4, the module axes are associated in pairs to 2 DMOVE optional function blocks. The coding is thus as follows :

First group of axes : ADGROUP = H'4500'

Second group of axes : ADGROUP = H'4501'

ADAXIS : axis addresses

Assignment of module channels (0 to 3) to the axes to be controlled.

Coding is performed on words in hexadecimal.

H' 0 Z Y X ' number of the channel assigned to axis X number of the channel assigned to axis Y (for a group of 2 or 3 axes) number of the channel assigned to axis Z (for a group of 3 axes)

Example : in the preceding example, channels 0 (input ENC0) and 1 (input ENC1) are assigned to axes X and Y in the first group of axes. The coding is thus as follows :

ADAXIS = H'0010'

Channels 2 (input ENC2) and 3 (input ENC3) are assigned to axes X and Y in the second group of axes. The coding is thus as follows :

ADAXIS = H'0032'

LABEL : string of 20 characters for the user to specify the name of the application.

8.1 Module operating modes

The multi-axis control module can be used in 2 modes :

• Automatic : Movement commands controlled by the EXEC

●

MOVEi.... instructions are controlled in this mode (1).

• Manual : This mode enables the user to visually control the moving part from the front panel or from an operator dialogue terminal. The commands can be accessed via OFB internal bits and apply to one axis only.

For more information on the operation of exchanges between the PLC processor and the module see Section 18.

The operating mode is selected using bit

- servo off mode (bit

●

MOVEi,DIRDRIVE at 0) and measurement mode (bit

●

MOVEi,DRV_OFF at 0) not selected

- moving part stationary (bit

●

MOVEi,NOWORDION at 1).

• Select manual mode :

RESET

●

MOVEi,AUTO

SET

●

MOVEi,SEND_CMD selects manual mode sends the command to the module

Other operating modes, which are sub-modes of Automatic and Manual mode, are also available. They can be accessed using ADJ MAX software, and are used to adjust and debug the application :

Automatic mode sub-modes :

• Simulation : This mode is designed to run the program without activating the outputs.

It is used for local debugging of the application part.

Manual mode sub-modes :

• Servo off : The output acts as a digital/analog converter, and the servo-loop is not used. This mode is used to analyze the operation of the axis independently of the servo-loop.

• Measurement : In this mode the module only feeds back current position and speed data.

Note : This mode is forced at start-up if the group is configured and there is no fault.

To change to automatic or manual mode, this mode must be deactivated.

Deactivating Measurement mode :

8.2 Programming in automatic mode

8.2-1 General principle for programming movements

In the pre-configuration operations each group of axes has been assigned a movement control function block.

Each movement of the group of axes will be controlled by the execution in the PL7-3 program of the OFB assigned to it.

8.2-2 Review of programming an OFB

OFBs can be programmed in any program module (the

●

MOVE OFB is only programmed in the master task) in Ladder language (using an operation block) or in Literal language. The syntax is the same in both cases :

EXEC OFBi(Inp1;...;Inpn=>Out1;...Outm)

;

OFBi type and number of OFB

Inp input objects

Out

=> output objects separator between the input and output parameters separator between the parameters.

An OFB is programmed in PROGRAM mode.

PL7-3 software has soft keys [EXEC],[CONTENT] and [PARAM] which can be used to specify the values of the OFB constants and the I/O parameters respectively.

An instruction is entered using the following procedure :

• Press the [EXEC] key

• Enter the OFB type and number (for example DMOVE2)

• Press the [CONTENT] key to access the OFB internal constants (example : units, encoder type, etc, for a TSX AXM

●

92 module).

Note : For multi-axis control OFBs, the user does not need to modify these values at programming level. The ADJ-MAX software is used to adjust these parameters.

• Press the [PARAM] key to display the OFB

• Assign a variable to the OFB input and output parameters

• Confirm the screen and then the equation with <Enter>.

Comment :

The user can, if required, enter the EXEC MOVE... instruction directly with all its parameters. Although doing this requires the meaning of each parameter to be recalled, it has the advantage of being much faster.

- 10 -5 degree

- increment

F = speed of movement of the moving part. This speed can be :

• coded in an internal double word DWi or a constant internal double word CDWi

(word can be indexed).

The speed unit depends on the selected position unit.

8.2-4 Description of elementary movements

3 classes of movement can be programmed :

• Move to a position (G01,G09)

• Move until an event is detected (G11,G10)

• Reference points (G14,G15,G16)

When programming these movements the user defines the position to be reached and the speed. The other parameters, speed profile (trapezoid or parabolic), acceleration and deceleration, are defined either using ADJ MAX software (see Section 10.2), or under PL7-3 using the

Move until an event is detected without stopping : instruction code G11 with stop : instruction code G10

Instructions G11 and G10 are similar to G01 and G09 in that the command ends when the event is detected (or at the entered position if the event is not detected).

The event which is awaited can be the change to 1 :

• of one of the dedicated event inputs in the module associated with one of the axes of the group being controlled

• of the EVENT bit which can be programmed under PL7-3.

The position parameter must be defined. In the case of the DMOVE or TMOVE OFB, the position parameters to be reached are used to calculate the speed of each axis. Identical movements must be programmed in order to obtain equal speeds.

Reference point reference point on axis X : G14 reference point on axis Y : G15 reference point on axis Z : G16

The reference point is set on one axis at a time. The position displayed corresponds to the coordinate to be loaded in the current value when the reference is detected.

The reference point event is detected on the cam input or cam inputs and the zero marker associated with the axis being controlled, depending on the type of reference point selected.

The type of reference point and direction of movement are defined in configuration parameter x_TYPRP (for further details see Section 10.1-2).

Await event : instruction code G05

When this instruction is used, the moving part awaits an event with a time envelope defined in parameter F in ms. If the event has not appeared during the time envelope, the following command is executed. If the parameter is defined at 0, the waiting period is not limited.

The awaited event can be the change to 1 :

• of one of the module event inputs associated with one of the axes in the group being controlled

• of the EVENT bit which can be programmed under PL7-3

Example : EXEC MOVE0(1;;G05;;500=>)

EXEC MOVE0(2;G90;G09;5000000;1000=>)

The 3 following instructions perform repetitive movements from the various positions : see the example on the opposite page.

Memorize the current position when an event occurs : instruction code G07

After the execution of this instruction, when an event occurs the coordinates of the current position are memorized in words X_PREF, Y_PREF and Z_PREF (user configurable indexed position).

The awaited event may be the change to 1 :

• of one of the dedicated event inputs in the module associated with one of the axes of the group being controlled

• of the EVENT bit which can be programmed under PL7-3

This instruction is not blocking : the program carries on immediately to the following instruction.

Validate offset PREF : instruction code G54

When an absolute movement (code G90) is selected, this instruction is used to define the movement not with respect to the reference, but with respect to the position of coordinates X_PREF,Y_PREF,Z_PREF (user-configurable indexed position).

Cancel offset PREF : instruction code G53

This instruction cancels instruction G54. The absolute movement is again performed with respect to the reference. By default all the absolute movements are performed with respect to the reference.

Recalibration on the fly command : instruction code G24

This command sets a reference point without stopping the moving part (on the fly).

It applies only to single-axis groups, that is MOVE OFBs.

Syntax : EXEC •MOVE0 (1;G90;G24;X;Y;Z;=>)

The command sets a reference point on the value X entered as control parameter and at a rising edge on the cam input of the axis concerned.

The operation is performed without stopping the movement at the required speed F if the start is from standstill, otherwise at the speed of the current command, and always in the positive direction.

The calibration events are of the short cam type, with or without zero marker and are independent of the type of reference point selected in parameter TYPRP.

Note :

• if the axis is not referenced, the initial execution of this command is accepted and at the end of execution the axis is referenced,

• if the axis is referenced, the initial execution of this command does not cancel the reference of the axis. In contrast to the other reference point commands, it can be linked with a MOVE0,NEXT command.

If command G24 is executed while movement is in the reverse direction (negative direction) there is a NON BLOCKING command failure, and CMD_FAIL will generate a message (code 1F). In this case, command G24 is ignored, and bits MOVE0,NEXT and

MOVE0,DONE function normally.

Performance : the time which elapses between the event and the moment when the reference value is transferred to the measurement is 100

µ s, or a 100-point error at a maximum frequency of 1 MHz.

8.2-6 Sequence of movement commands

A trajectory is created by programming a series of elementary movement instructions.

Each elementary command to execute a function block is performed once only, the execution is thus programmed either in :

• Grafcet : in a step on activation or on deactivation of that step

• Literal or Ladder language on the rising edge of a bit

TSX AXM

●

92 modules have a mechanism for linking movement commands together into sequences.

Each group of axes of the TSX AXM module has a buffer memory which can receive a movement command while it is in the process of executing the preceding command.

Thus when the current command has been executed, it goes directly to the command in the buffer memory.

The link between 2 movement commands is established in the following way :

• Immediately, if the first movement does not include a stop.

• As soon as the moving part is in the target window or at the end of the time delay

TSTOP (defined using ADJ MAX) if the first movement includes a stop.

The execution time for the current instruction must be greater than the master task period so that the move from one command to another is immediate.

Note : A new command can only be transmitted to the module if the buffer memory assigned to the group to be controlled is empty.

MOVEi,NEXT

Description

Indicates to the user program that the module is ready to receive the next movement command. This command will be interpreted and executed automatically when the current commands have been executed.

●

MOVEi,TH_POINT Signals that the set value has been reached

●

MOVEi,AT_POINT Signals that the moving part has reached the intended point :

• For a movement with no stop this bit changes to 1 at the same time as bit •MOVEi,TH_POINT and returns to 0 at the next movement command.

8.3 Managing the operating modes

The TSX AXM •92 module operating modes can be summarized in two 2 charts :

• Module general operating mode

Power up (or plug in module)

SELF-TESTS

OK (

●

MOVEi,OK)

MODULE READY

NOT OK

MODULE OFF

The chart is intentionally simplified, and shows that the module starts directly in ready state if no fault is detected.

Module ready state may change to module off if module faults are detected.

A power return has the same effect as powering up.

• Operating mode of the groups of axes

When the module is ready, each group of axes comprising the module waits to receive the configuration.

GROUP NOT CONFIGURED : await configuration configuration OK (

●

MOVEi,CONF)

GROUP CONFIGURED

• command SEND_CNF

• configuration fault

• STOP PLC (except if in safety off mode)

__________________________________________________________________________________________

8/16

Programming

8

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Programming the operating modes :

To ensure that the TSX AXM

●

92 module can effectively deal with commands transmitted by PL7-3 (module general operating mode), it is necessary to check that the module is ready to operate. To do this test the bit :

●

MOVEi,OK.

To ensure that the group of axes to be controlled is ready to interpret the commands (axis group operating mode), a check must be made that the group is configured. To do this test the bit :

●

MOVEi,CONF.

At a cold restart (SY0) or a power return (SY1), the configuration of the groups is automatically transmitted to the module by the processor.

When the PLC changes to STOP the group is deconfigured (unless it is in safety off mode), and when it changes from STOP to RUN, the group is automatically reconfigured.

Comment : When the PLC changes to STOP a stop command is transmitted, and the group is only deconfigured when the moving part is completely stationary.

Note : At a cold restart the OFB data (servo, command and error control parameters) may be lost. To overcome this problem, the

●

MOVE OFB has an internal backup which automatically reloads this data. It is therefore important that once these parameters have been set, they are transferred using the ADJ MAX SAVE_PRM command or via the program using the

●

MOVEi,SAVE_PRM bit.

Safety off mode

This mode, which is selected by setting the

●

MOVEi,SAFE_OFF bit to 1, ensures that the group continues to operate even if the PLC (or the master task) changes to STOP.

The execution of the movements which are in progress is completed, and the group remains configured.

This mode can be used for debugging, however it is dangerous to use it during normal operation as the PL7-3 program in the PLC processor loses control of the module.

Note : Before any transfer operation a check should be made that safety off mode is not selected and that bit

●

MOVEi,SAFE_OFF is at 0.

Comment : action of bit SY9

Setting bit SY9 to 1 (when bit

●

MOVEi,SAFE_OFF is at 0) causes the deconfiguration of all the TSX AXM 292/492 modules (Reminder : setting bit SY9 to 1 causes resetting of the discrete outputs).

8.4 Fault management

8.4-1 Role

Checking for faults is of primary importance in the area of position control because of the inherent risks involved when moving parts are in motion.

The checks are performed internally and automatically by the module.

Three types of fault are detected :

• Module faults. These are internal hardware faults in the module. All the groups of axes controlled by this module are thus affected when this type of fault occurs. They may be detected during the self-tests (when the module is re-initialized) or during normal operation (I/O fault).

• Group faults. These faults are :

- hardware faults external to the module (eg : encoder wiring break)

- application faults linked to the group of axes (eg : deviation).

Continuous checks are made for Group level faults when the group is configured.

• Command failures. These are faults which may occur during the execution of a movement command, the transfer of a configuration, the transfer of adjustment parameters or a change of operating mode.

Note :

• Checking for hardware faults is inhibited when the group of axes is in simulation mode.

• Checking for certain group level faults can be enabled or inhibited by the group error control parameters. These error control parameters can be adjusted using ADJ MAX software or set using the PL7-3 program.

• In servo off mode (DIRDRIVE), the application fault check is inhibited.

• In measurement mode (DRV_OFF), the application fault check, except for the soft stop fault check, is inhibited.

8.4-2 Principle

On detection of a fault, there are possible 2 consequences :

• Fault with stop of one (group fault) or all of the moving parts linked to a module

(module fault). In this case the following occurs :

- fault indication

- deceleration of the moving part until D/A converter signal reduces to zero

- deactivation of the speed drive validation relay

- deletion of all the commands which have been memorized

- wait for acknowledgment.

The fault must have disappeared and been acknowledged before the application can be restarted.

• Fault with no stopping of the moving parts. In this case the fault is merely indicated.

Any actions to be performed are the responsibility of the user and are executed in the PL7-3 program.

The indication of the fault disappears when the fault has disappeared and been acknowledged (the acknowledgment is not memorized and only occurs if the fault has disappeared).

__________________________________________________________________________________________

8/18

Programming

__________________________________________________________________________________________

8.4-3 Programming

Faults can be displayed, corrected and acknowledged using ADJ_MAX software, but it may be more convenient during operation to be able to control the moving part and correct faults from a console or using operator dialogue software (eg : PL7-MMI).

Fault indication

The module provides a large amount of data in the form of status bits and words which can be accessed via the PL7-3 program. These bits make it possible to deal with faults hierarchically :

• so that they can be used by the main program

• so that the fault is indicated.

There are 3 levels of indication :

• 1st level : general data

●

MOVEi,OK : no blocking fault (with stopping of the moving part) is detected

●

MOVEi,ERROR : fault (covers all faults)

●

MOVEi,HARD_ERR : external hardware group fault

●

MOVEi,AXIS_ERR : application group fault

●

MOVEi,CMD_FAIL : command failure

• 2nd level : intermediate data group fault status word

●

MOVEi,STATUS0

• 3rd level : detailed data axis fault status words

●

MOVEi,STATUS1,

●

MOVEi,STATUS2,

●

MOVEi,STATUS3

Each fault is described in detail in the following sections. STATUS words are also described in detail in the quick reference guide. An example of fault processing is given in Section 5 "Tutorial".

In general it is advisable to stop the evolution of the sequential processing assigned to the axis when a blocking fault occurs, and to control the moving part in manual mode while the fault is corrected. Correction of the fault should be followed by an acknowledgment.

Acknowledging faults

When a fault occurs :

• Fault bits

●

MOVEi,ERROR,

●

MOVEi,HARD_ERR,

●

MOVEi,AXIS_ERR and bits extracted from the status word

●

MOVEi,STATUSj concerned by the fault change to

• If the fault is with stop, bit

●

MOVEi,OK changes to 0.

When the fault disappears, the status of all the fault bits remains unchanged. The fault is memorized until it is acknowledged : bit

●

MOVEi,ACK_DEF is set to 1 (or the module is reinitialized). The fault must be acknowledged after it has disappeared (except in the case of soft stop faults).

If several faults are detected, the acknowledgment command only applies to those faults which have totally disappeared. Faults which remain must be acknowledged again

8.5 Management of manual mode

Manual mode can be selected and controlled from ADJ_MAX, from the front panel or from an operator dialogue or supervision console.

In this case, the dialogue is programmed in PL7-3, using the elementary commands

(movements, reference point, etc) provided by the

●

MOVE OFB associated with the group of axes. Parameter

●

MOVEi,AXIS_NB is used to select the number of the axis being controlled manually (does not exist on MOVE function block).

A manual command is only addressed to one axis in the group at a time.

8.5-1 Selecting manual mode

This is performed by programming the following commands :

RESET

●

MOVEi,AUTO selects the mode

SET

●

MOVEi,SEND_CMD sends the mode selection command

It is only possible to change from automatic to manual mode if the moving part is stationary.

It is possible change the group to manual mode and to send a command simultaneously.

The command is taken into account when the moving part is stationary and no instruction is being executed.

When the manual mode command is recognized, bit

●

MOVEi,SEND_CMD is automatically reset to 0 (see Section 18.1).

8.5-2 Execution of manual commands

Every manual command must be followed by the command

●

MOVEi,SEND_CMD so that it is taken into account (except for the direct access commands

●

MOVEi,JOG_P,

●

MOVEi,JOG_M, and

●

MOVEi,STOP).

There are a number of parameters associated with manual commands :

•

●

MOVEi,HIGH_F : select between high speed (defined in command parameter

●

MOVEi,x_FHIGH) and low speed (defined in command parameter

●

MOVEi,x_FLOW).

These parameters can be adjusted using ADJ MAX software.

•

●

MOVEi,PARAM : value of the parameter associated with a command. This parameter may be a position, an increment or a voltage, depending on the command.

Condition for executing commands in manual mode :

• Referenced axis (except for reference point commands, JOG_P/M and DIRDRIVE)

• Target position within the soft stop limits (1)

• Axis with no blocking fault (

●

MOVEi,OK = 1) (1),

• No command being executed (

●

MOVEi,DONE = 1).

Servo off mode movement command : DIRDRIVE

Bit

●

MOVEi,DIRDRIVE commands the movement of the moving part in direct drive mode. The loop is off. The voltage of the speed drive is controlled between -x_UMAX and + x_UMAX, with the sign giving the direction of movement. Nonetheless, the changes in the speed setpoint are performed while respecting the acceleration and deceleration ramps. This mode is used to analyze the behaviour of an axis independently from the loop so that it can be adjusted.

Programming :

• Select the axis AXIS_NB

• Write the voltage value to be loaded PARAM

• Servo off movement command DIRDRIVE

• Acceptance command SEND_CMD

Example : Move in servo off mode on axis 1 with a voltage of 1.25 V.

SET DMOVE0,DIRDRIVE

SET DMOVE0,SEND_CMD

NOT DMOVE0,SEND_CMD

Change to group measurement mode : DRV_OFF

Bit

●

MOVEi,DRV_OFF commands the change to group measurement mode. In this mode the module only sends back current position and speed data, it does not control the movement of the moving part. This command applies to all the axes in the group. The loop is off. The speed drive is not controlled, the enable relay is open. The application fault checks are masked.

Programming :

• Select measurement mode (DRV_OFF)

• Acceptance command (SEND_CMD)

Example :

Activ RESET DMOVE0,AUTO

SET DMOVE0,DRV_OFF

SET DMOVE0,SEND_CMD

NOT DMOVE0,SEND_CMD

Stop moving part command : STOP

Bit

●

MOVEi,STOP stops the movement of the moving part. It is a direct access command

(no SEND_CMD order). It also operates in automatic mode.

9.1 General principle for configuring and adjusting axis parameters

The axes are configured and their parameters set in a 2-stage operation using ADJ MAX adjustment software :

• 1st stage : Initialization of parameters

Enter configuration and operating parameters which do not require any adjustment procedure (unit, type of encoder, resolution, high and low axis limits, maximum permitted acceleration and deceleration, type of reference point).

When they have been entered these parameters must be transferred to the module.

• 2nd stage : Setting of the parameters

Perform the adjustment procedures for defining the values of the configuration parameters, the machine KR coefficient and the operating parameters, and enter the values obtained (example : servo parameters KPOS, KV, etc).

The values of the parameters will be transmitted to the module as they are set.

Once all the parameters have been set, perform a final save.

The adjustment procedures given here are for example only, none of them is compulsory.

If you know the value of parameter, it can be entered directly in the appropriate adjustment screen.

All the operations described in this section require a knowledge of how to use ADJ MAX software.

Its use is described in Section 17, Appendix, "ADJ MAX software operating modes". It is also described in the on-line help which gives an explanation of the parameters and commands for each screen.

Attention

The PLC must be in RUN mode when transferring parameters and moving the moving part using ADJ MAX.

It is thus essential to check that the multi-axis control program module is not started until the PLC is set to RUN mode. Its execution must be linked to a start cycle command, or an input bit or internal bit can be used for this purpose (see example in Section 5).

10.1-2 Parameters specific to each axis in the group

The adjustment should be performed on each axis in the group in turn.

TYPCOD : type of encoder

This gives the type and characteristics of the position encoder used.

• SSI transmission multi-turn absolute encoder

- number of encoder bits : N min = 16, N max = 24, (default = 16)

- number of non-significant frame header bits N min = 0, N max = 4 (default = 0)

- Gray code or binary code (default is binary code)

- presence of error bit (default is without error bit)

- presence of parity bit (default is with parity bit)

• Incremental encoder (default selection)

- with multiplication by 4 of encoder signals : default selection

- without multiplication by 4.

Note : Do not connect incremental and absolute encoders at the same time to one module.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

10/3

__________________________________________________________________________________________

RESOL :

This parameter corresponds to the encoder resolution (R), except when the option x 4 is selected, in which case the encoder resolution R is R/4.

The encoder resolution is the distance which the moving part must travel to produce a difference of one increment in the sensor signal.

Multiplying by 4 enables the following for an incremental type encoder :

• to use a given encoder, and achieve a precision 4 times greater

• or to obtain a given resolution, using an encoder with a resolution which is 4 times lower.

RE, which corresponds to the resolution multiplied by 4, is also known as the equivalent resolution.

Calculating the resolution where :

N = number of pulses or encoder points per revolution (rotary) or the length of the linear measurement.

L = useable measurement length.

With linear measurement, the calculation of R is immediate :

R = L/N

When a rotary encoder is used, ensure that an allowance is made for the position of the speed reduction gear.

R = ne . Pitch / N ne = equivalent reduction ratio. This is the product of the reduction ratios between the encoder and the pitch.

In all cases : Vl = F.R and e = I.R

Vl : linear speed, e : distance travelled, F : frequency, I : number of increments for a given movement.

Note :

If the increment unit is selected, parameter RESOL must be set to value 1.

Reminder : An incremental encoder does not provide a position measurement, only a number of pulses proportional to the distance travelled. So that this distance can be converted into a position, a known position must be assigned to a particular point on the axis (0 is generally selected). This operation is known as setting the reference point. An axis on which this has been performed is said to be referenced.

The reference point command is implemented via the following instructions :

• G14 reference point on axis X

• G15 reference point on axis Y

• G16 reference point on axis Z or using the manual reference point command SETRP_P, SETRP_M, or RP_HERE.

The module has 2 inputs which are used to detect the reference :

• Zero marker input

• Cam input

The reference point is always set on the same edge of the cam.

The physical reference point is the same for both directions of operation. The two directions of operation are recognized by a search procedure for a different reference.

• In manual mode :

- For types 1 and 2, the approach speed together with the reference point is the speed selected : FHIGH or FLOW, modulated by the CMV.

- For types 3 and 4, the approach speed is the speed selected : FHIGH or FLOW, modulated by the CMV, and the reference point speed is always speed FLOW, independent of the CMV.

Note : for multi-axis applications (DMOVE or TMOVE), it is advisable, for each axis, to set values of the same order of magnitude for VMAX.

The min limit of VMAX corresponds to a frequency of 10 kHz, with multiplication by 4.

The max limit of VMAX corresponds to a frequency of 900 kHz, with multiplication by 4

UMAX

UMAX is the voltage which must be applied to the input of the speed drive to obtain a speed equal to VMAX.

As far as possible, the speed drive should be set to obtain maximum speed VMAX at a voltage as close as possible to (but below) 9 V.

Limiting the voltage to 9 V means that during transition periods there is sufficient reserve to allow an overvoltage. The amplitude of this overvoltage is determined by the value of

LIMV (command parameter). If there are no mechanical constraints, or restrictions imposed by the maximum acceptable frequency, select the following values via the module : UMAX = 9 V LIMV = 10 %

Example : To control an axis with the following characteristics :

Motor

Moving part

(Max speed : 30 mm/sec)

Encoder

1000 pts/rev

1/5 reduction gear

The maximum permitted linear speed is 30 mm / sec, or 1800 mm / min. The screw pitch is 5mm.

The axis is controlled by a motor which can run at 3000 rpm driving a ballscrew via a 1/5 reduction gear. The encoder is on the motor shaft. An incremental encoder is assumed to be used.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

11/4

Adjusting the axes

11

__________________________________________________________________________________________

The RESOLUTION parameter (distance travelled by the moving part between two encoder increments) is equal to : Ne x Pitch/N = 1/5 x 5/1000 = 1

µ m

• VMAX, the maximum operating speed parameter, is 1800 mm / min.

• Parameter UMAX is the voltage value which will enable maximum speed to be obtained. Taking into account the reduction ratio (1/5) and the pitch of the screw

(5 mm), the maximum linear speed (1800mm/mn) corresponds to a motor rotation speed of 1800 rpm. If the speed drive is adjusted to obtain speed 3000 rpm with an input voltage of 10 V, the voltage which will correspond to 1800 rpm (UMAX) is 6 V.

• A 10 % overvoltage during transition periods is allowed (LIMV=10).

It is essential that the coherence of the RESOL, VMAX and UMAX parameters is maintained, otherwise incoherent servo loop behaviour will result.

Checking the maximum frequency

This operation, which is optional, checks that the capacities of the module have not been exceeded. It is performed in Servo off mode (DIRDRIVE).

• Apply a voltage equal to UMAX (1 + LIMV/ 100). Check the maximum frequency.

• Check that the frequency of the pulses is below 250 kHz :

Note : This check can be difficult to perform since it assumes that the axis is of sufficient length to provide the necessary observation time.

To overcome this problem a voltage can be applied which only represents a certain percentage of voltage UMAX (1+LIMV/100) and then a check made that the resulting frequency at the module input does not exceed the same percentage of the limit frequency.

11.2 Procedure for adjusting the machine characteristic KR coefficient

This adjustment is designed to correct errors caused by imprecise entry of configuration parameter values, and imperfections in the drive chain.

Procedure :

Perform the operations in the mono-group operation screen :

1 Select MANUAL mode.

2 Set a manual reference point if an incremental encoder is used (if the moving part is some distance from the cam, use servo off mode, DIRDRIVE, to bring it closer).

3 Select a value corresponding to the longest possible travel as target position : position 1 and enter this value in the PARAM field (300000

µ m, for example).

4 Start the movement (INC_P or INC_M according to the direction of movement, followed by the command SEND_CMD to execute the movement).

5 Use an external device to measure with adequate precision the distance travelled by the moving part.

6 Enter this value in the DISTANCE field, (for example, if the distance measured is

293000

µ m, this is the value which should be entered in the DISTANCE field).

7 Deactivate the movement command (INC_P or INC_M) and transmit the parameter to the module using the command SEND_CMD.

8 Press the button NEW_KR to start the automatic calculation of the coefficient by the module.

Repeat operations 2 , 3 , 4 and 5 .

• If the distance measured has an error less than that required the adjustment is terminated. A SAVE_PRM command (TRANSFER screen) must then be executed to save the value of KR in the CONSTANT zone.

• If the distance measured has an error greater than that required (for example : distance measured = 299800

µ m), perform the following operations :

- Enter in the DISTANCE field the same value as that contained in the PARAM field

(300000

µ m in this example), and perform operations 7 and 8 .

- Calculate the new value of the DISTANCE parameter

DISTANCE = DISTANCE 1 x DISTANCE 2 (Eg : 293000 x 299800 = 292805)

• Enter the DISTANCE value which has been calculated in this way in the DISTANCE field, and perform operations 7 and 8 .

Attention

Any modification of the RESOL and VMAX parameters using ADJ MAX software will necessitate a reinitialization of the KR coefficient by the user.

To reinitialize KR select the OFB concerned in PL7-3 CONSTANT mode and enter -1 in the 3 parameters of the OFB (KR1, KR2 and KR3) and send a SEND_CNF command.

Defining the references

The position and speed references are defined by the user according to the required movement (speed, target position), and the acceleration and deceleration and movement profile values are given in the adjustment parameters.

11.3-2 Description of the servo parameters

KPOS : Position loop gain

The module uses two gain values. The KPOS value which is entered is for high working speeds. This value avoids overshoots and instability. The second gain value is deducted from the ratio CKPOS, it provides a gain value for low working speeds in order to obtain very low position errors.

The position gain applied is as follows : if working speed

≥

VMAX/4 : KPOS if working speed < VMAX/4 : KPOS x CKPOS

Min limit : 100 Max limit : 6400 (expressed in 1/100s)

Using the KPOS adjustment parameter, the module calculates the proportional gain coefficient KP :

KP= C x UMAX x KPOS

C : constant

UMAX : value of the speed drive setpoint VMAX (UMAX<9V).

The KPOS value to be entered corresponds to a KPOS value for high speeds (see

CKPOS parameter below).

CKPOS :

Multiplication coefficient for low speed loop gain (ratio between low speed KPOS and high speed KPOS).

Min limit : 1 Max limit : 6400/KPOS

This ratio defines the position gain value for low working speeds.

Comment : generally CKPOS=1.

KV : Feedforward gain

Min limit : 0% Max limit : 100%

This is expressed as a percentage. 100% corresponds to the value which would totally absorb the position error at constant speed for a speed drive which has no continuous error.

When KV increases, the position error decreases, but there is a resulting risk of an overshoot, including stop point overshoot. It is therefore necessary to find a compromise.

Note : In some cases, the position error passes a minimum with a possible change of sign when KV increases.

LIMV : maximum permitted overshoot of the setpoint speed.

Min limit : 2 % Max limit : 20%

This parameter is entered as a percentage of between 2 and 20. It determines the permitted overvoltage of the speed drive setpoint.

The permitted overvoltage varies with the target setpoint speed according to three levels :

• LIMV entered between VMAX and VMAX/2

• LIMV entered/2 between VMAX/2 and VMAX/4

• LIMV entered/4 between 0 and VMAX/4.

11.3-3 Procedure for determining the servo parameters

In order to adjust the servo loop, specific values must be given to certain operating parameters, assuming that the values of the others correspond to the application.

These values are given in the first phase of pre-initialization (see Section 10.3). If they are not, enter the parameters in the adjustment screens, and transfer them using the

SEND_PRM command (Parameter command in the "Transfer" menu).

Initial operation

This operation consists of setting a forced reference point (RP_HERE command).

Forcing the reference point means that the axis is referenced from the time the application is first started and thus that the following controls and functions are active :

• soft stops

• return of moving part from soft stop overshoot.

Note : Operation will only be correct if the direction of movement of the moving part is the same as the direction of measurement.

Procedure for setting a forced reference point

• Select the Mono-Group function from the Operate menu

• Deselect DRV_OFF mode

• Acknowledge the faults with the ACK_DEF command

• Using an external device, measure the position of the moving part in relation to the reference point cam (not an exact measurement)

• Set a forced reference point :

- enter the measured value with its sign as the reference position value in the PARAM field

- Select the RP_HERE command

- Start execution of the command using SEND_CMD.

Adjusting the gain at high speed (value of parameter KPOS)

Since the moving part has an inertia equal to the maximum value found in the application :

• Perform movements from one position, 1, to another position, 2, and vice versa. To do this :

- Select low speed : HIGH_F box empty

- Enter the value of the movement in the PARAM field

- Then select one after the other commands INC_P (position 1) and INC_M (position 2) and follow each with the SEND_CMD command, so that they are executed

• Display the position error when the moving part is stationary

• Set KPOS to produce an acceptable error while retaining suitable stability (otherwise re-check the definition of the machine). Transfer each new KPOS value entered using the SEND_PRM command in the Transfer menu.

• Select high speed : HIGH_F box selected

• Perform movements from position 1 to position 2 and vice versa, and if necessary re-adjust KPOS.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

11/10

Adjusting the axes

11

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Adjusting coefficient CKPOS

This is performed for machines which are subject to friction. If they are not, retain value 1 for the CKPOS parameter. Set CKPOS above 1 to obtain a higher gain at low speed and transfer this value using the SEND_PRM command (transfer menu) :

• Perform movements from one position, 1, to another position, 2, and vice versa. To do this :

- Select a very low speed of movement (x_FLOW speed selected)

- Enter a low movement value in the PARAM field

- Then select one after the other the commands INC_P (position 1) and INC_M

(position 2) and follow each with the SEND_CMD command, so that they are executed

• Display the position error when the moving part is stationary

• Set CKPOS to produce an acceptable error while retaining suitable stability. Transfer each new CKPOS value entered using the SEND_PRM command in the Transfer menu.

Adjusting feedforward gain KV

• Perform movements from position 1 to position 2 and vice versa at sped VMAX, display the position error when the moving part is moving at constant speed. To do this :

- Select high speed of movement : HIGH_F box selected

- Enter a movement value in the PARAM field

- Then select one after the other commands INC_P (position 1) and INC_M (position 2) and follow each with the SEND_CMD command, so that they are executed

• Adjust KV to the required error value and sign

Note : In the event of too large an overshoot, it may be necessary to reduce KV slightly.

Adjusting the maximum permitted overshoot LIMV

See Section 11.4-2

Adjusting the offset

With the moving part stationary, change to servo off mode DIRDRIVE and adjust the offset in the window -150mV and +150mV so that any slip of the moving part is eliminated.

11.4 Adjusting the error control parameters

Select the Error control parameters command in the Adjust menu. The following window is used to access the various error control parameters.

The OK key ensures that the •MOVE OFB accepts all the values entered in this screen.

11.4-1 Description of the error control parameters

The error controls are described in Section 8.4-7.

DMAX1 : threshold 1, contouring error

Contouring error : 0 to (SLMAX-SLMIN)/2 (1)

DMAX2 : threshold 2, contouring error

0 = no control

Preventive error : 0 to (SLMAX-SLMIN)/2 (1)

TW : target window threshold error

0 = no control

Static error : 0 to (SLMAX-SLMIN)/10 (1) 0 = no control

VSTOP : stop speed threshold

Stop speed : 10 to VMAX/2 and limited to 32767

(1) except in the case of angular movement, see Section 16.2.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

11/12

Adjusting the axes

11

__________________________________________________________________________________________

TSTOP : value of the time delay before the stop control

Limits : 0 to 1000 (units x 10 ms) 0 = no control

FEXCES : measured overspeed error threshold expressed as a % of VMAX.

Speed overshoot : 0 to 20% 0 = no control (from version 1.3 onwards)

11.4-2 Procedure for determining the error control parameters

Principle for setting the error control parameters :

• Enter the required error control parameter values, then transfer them using the

SEND_PRM command (accessed via the Parameters function in the Transfer menu).

In the Mono-Group screen :

• Select manual mode

• Select high speed of movement : HIGH_F box selected

• Perform movements from position 1 to position 2 and vice versa. To do this :

- Enter a movement value in the PARAM field

- Then select one after the other commands INC_P (position 1) and INC_M (position 2) and follow each with the SEND_CMD command, so that they are executed

The module should not change to error mode : Check in the "Errors" box that the fault

AXIS_ERR is not showing (or for more details check words STATUS 1, 2 and 3 using

PL7-3 Data mode or SYSDIAG).

If a fault is detected :

• Increase the parameter values (higher tolerances)

• or reset KR, KPOS, and KV then modify the parameters.

Adjust the following parameters one after the other :

• DMAX1 and DMAX2

• TW

• VSTOP and TSTOP

The speed must be below VSTOP at the end of time period TSTOP.

TSTOP is counted with respect to the moment when the position reference reaches the required position value.

• Speed limitation LIMV

- Enter the desired value of parameter LIMV in the Servo Parameters screen

- Perform movements from position 1 to position 2 and vice versa (following the same procedure as that described above). The module should not change to a DMAX error. If it does, increase LIMV or modify DMAX 2 (and DMAX 1).

• Overspeed FEXCES

For this adjustment select a speed of movement FHIGH = VMAX

__________________________________________________________________________________________

11/13

__________________________________________________________________________________________

11.5 Saving the parameters

The configuration parameters are stored in the OFB constant memory and are thus saved automatically. This is not the case for adjustment parameters which are stored in the OFB data memory. A save operation for transferring the adjustment parameter values from the DATA field to the OFB CONSTANT field is therefore necessary to avoid losing adjustment values at a cold restart of the processor (SY0).

CONSTANTS

•MOVE OFB

Configuration parameters

Select the Parameters command in the Transfer menu. The following window is displayed.

Execute the command SAV_PRM to save the adjustment parameters to the PLC processor memory.

Caution : if the PL7-3 software is in CONNECTED mode during this operation, the terminal memory will not be updated with the new constant values.

The application must therefore be transferred from the PLC to the terminal using

PL7-3 or the TRANSFER tool once all the adjustments have been performed. This operation ensures that all the parameters which have been set are saved to the terminal hard disk.

Debugging a multi-axis control program

12

__________________________________________________________________________________________

12.1 Principle of debugging a multi-axis control program

Multi-axis control, which is integrated in the PL7-3 program, uses the debugging functions of PL7-3.

Reminder of the options provided by PL7-3 :

• Real-time display and animation of the program

- In Grafcet : as each movement is programmed in one Grafcet step, it is easy to identify the current movement.

- In Literal or Ladder language : highlighted display of the OFB EXEC being executed

• Insertion of breakpoints and execution cycle by cycle, ladder by ladder or statement by statement.

• Access to DATA mode, which enables status bits and words to be displayed and command bits of the •MOVE OFB to be controlled. It also enables bit objects to be forced, and the Grafcet evolution to be blocked.

ADJ MAX software mono-group operation screen

The upper part of this screen provides information used for debugging a group of axes

(see detailed description of the screen in Section 17.4) :

• Following of the position and the speed of the moving part

• Status of the module inputs

• Indication of module and application faults

• Operating status of the group of axes

• Movement in progress

• Sequence of elementary movements.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

12/1

__________________________________________________________________________________________

The Motion in Progress fields :

Instruction code

The lower part of this screen provides the commands for selecting the running modes and the manual mode movements of the axis group. These commands, which are described in Section 13, Operation, can be used to simulate the running mode management and manual control sections of the PL7-3 program.

Caution

There may be "conflicts" between the PL7-3 program which executes commands or writes variables, and the commands executed using ADJ MAX software. The last command accepted is the one which takes priority.

Among the data which is available, the CMD_FAIL zone gives precise information on the cause of failure to execute a command.

As soon as a command failure is detected the code associated with one of the items,

Parameters, Modes or Movements, changes from 0, and by selecting the button "?" the content of the command failure is clearly displayed.

Other data which is important for debugging is contained in the STATUS words

( ● MOVEi,STATUS 0, 1, 2 and 3). The role of each of the bits of these words is described in the Quick Reference manual. These words can be displayed in DATA mode, PL7-3

DEBUG mode or using the SYSDIAG tool.

Servo off mode, which is described in Section 8.3 "Managing the operating modes", is used for debugging, when the PLC is in STOP mode or at a break point.

Reminder : In this mode, if the PLC stops, the group remains configured and any movement which is being executed is completed.

Modifying the program and the parameters

All modifications which are permitted under PL7-3 in RUN mode can be executed. It is also possible to modify the configuration and adjustment parameters, except for the

ADGROUP and ADAXIS parameters. It is necessary to work in LOCAL mode when modifying any of these parameters.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Simultaneous use of PL7-3 and ADJ MAX software

It is possible to use both PL7-3 debug mode (in small font size) and ADJ MAX software

(Mono-Group operation function) at the same time.

12.2 Debugging in Simulation mode

This mode is used to check the sequencing of the multi-axis control instructions without moving the moving part.

This mode :

• Eliminates the need to check the wiring between the group and other equipment

• Automatically sets up the sequence of instructions,

(automatic generation of the •MOVEi,NEXT and •MOVEi,DONE bits after 2 s).

Selecting Simulation mode

To use Simulation mode, the following commands must be executed :

• Check that the group is configured (CONF indicator lamp)

• Deselect the command DRV_OFF

• Select SIMUL mode

• Select AUTO mode and execute the commands by pressing the SEND_CMD button.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

12/3

__________________________________________________________________________________________

12.3 Archiving

When the program has been debugged in connected mode :

• Save the adjustment parameters if they have been modified, using the SAV_PRM command in the TRANSFER menu of ADJ MAX (see Section 11.5).

• Transfer the PL7-3 application to the disk, using the PL7-3 TRANSFER function

(PROCESSOR ==> DISK).

12.4 Documentation

The multi-axis control application documentation is included in the complete documentation for the PL7-3 application.

It contains :

• The program part

• The constants of the

●

MOVE OFBs which correspond to the CONFIGURATION parameters and the saved ADJUSTMENT parameters (1).

(1) the saved ADJUSTMENT parameters only appear in the documentation if the

13.3 Designing an operator dialogue

13.3-1 Control station

The programmer can use all the commands and elementary data in the form of command bits, and status words extracted from the •MOVE OFB to design a simple or complex control station.

Two examples are given in this manual :

• One in the tutorial in Section 5

• One in Section 8.5 "Management of manual mode"

The programming principles are given in Section 8.5, and an exhaustive list of all the bits and words extracted from the •MOVE OFB is given in the Quick Reference Guide.

13.3-2 PL7-MMI operator dialogue software

PL7-MMI operator dialogue software is used to create a genuine control panel to control one or more axes from an MMX 7 type operator dialogue terminal.

This software uses all the data from the •MOVE OFB.

The following screens give some examples of possible operator dialogue.

Example 1 : Screen for reading and writing adjustment parameters.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

14.1 Fault monitoring

The user has a number of means available to him for detecting faults :

• Indicator lamps on the front panel of the module :

- red indicator lamp : general fault lamp

- green indicator lamp : I/O fault

• Multi-Group (see Section 13.2) and Mono-Group (see Section 13.1) operation screens.

• Fault bits and status words (see Section 8.4 and Quick Reference Guide).

14.2 Conditions for executing commands

General conditions for movement control :

• Group configured and with no blocking fault

• Automatic or manual code selected

• For absolute position commands : this position should be between the limits x_SLMIN and x_SLMAX

• For relative position commands : the target calculated based on the relative position should be between limits x_SLMIN and x_SLMAX,

• The axes should be referenced except for reference point commands

• The set speed F, should be :

- for a MOVE OFB :

≤

X_VMAX

- for a DMOVE OFB :

≤

Min (X_VMAX, Y_VMAX)

- for a TMOVE OFB :

≤

Min (X_VMAX, Y_VMAX, Z_VMAX)

Special case for commands with no stop (G01, G11) :

The command is refused if requested speed F cannot be reached at the intended target point with respect to the current position of the moving part.

Modifying the speed modulation parameter CMV

If the above speed conditions have not been verified, when parameter CMV is modified, the modification is not accepted.

Comment : A movement without stop which is not followed by any sequencing command continues until the soft stop limits are reached.

14.3 Questions/answers

• The •MOVE function block remains in system error, what action should be taken ?

The system error is connected to an incorrect group configuration.

Modify in local mode (terminal memory) the addresses of the group ADGROUP and the addresses of the axes ADAXIS and transfer the modified application to the PLC processor (PL7-3 transfer mode).

• Why are the X_POS positions incorrect after an SSI absolute encoder has been connected ?

Check the DC voltage of the encoder. A voltage which is too low or incorrect causes incorrect data to be fed back.

• Why are time lags observed between pressing the JOG commands and the commands taking effect when in visual manual mode ?

JOG commands are managed by the master task OFB in an OS/2 window. The response therefore depends on the number of windows open and the master task cycle time.

• What action should be taken to avoid losing the settings when there is a cold restart ?

After setting the axes, these parameters must be saved using the SAVE_PARAM command in the ADJ-MAX TRANSFER screen.

• What action should be taken to avoid losing the settings after a Terminal --> PLC transfer ?

After adjusting the axes, they should be archived, as described in Section 12.3

• What should be done to prevent the •MOVE function block being deconfigured when the PLC stops ?

Change to Safety off mode by setting bit SAVE_OFF to 1.

15.2-1 Acceleration/deceleration values

15.2-2 Low amplitude movements

A low amplitude movement is one which does not allow the speed specified in the instruction to be reached. The speed profile is triangular rather than trapezoid.

∇

F t t

Generally, when the trajectory is being executed, the acceleration and deceleration values do not respect the values requested (except in the case of single axis control for version V1.3).

The example below describes the behaviour of the axis(axes) in the case of low amplitude movements. For simplicity, the example relates to single axis movement at constant acceleration, but it also applies to 2 and 3 axis systems and to the trapezoid acceleration profile.

The instruction is as follows :

EXEC MOVE0(1;G90;G09;X1;V==>)

X1 defines the position to be reached, V specifies the "cruise" speed at which the movement is to be performed.

X0 is the position of the moving part at the outset.

1st example :

The distance |X1-X0| to be covered is not sufficient for the specified speed V to be reached. The movement is performed in accordance with a trapezoidal speed trajectory.

∇

V t t-acc t-dec

This trajectory shows the duration of the acceleration/deceleration phases respectively

(t-acc and t-dec).

__________________________________________________________________________________________

15/4

Performance and limitations

15

__________________________________________________________________________________________

2nd example :

The distance |X1-X0| to be covered is not sufficient for the specified speed V to be reached. The movement is performed according to a triangular speed trajectory as shown below.

∇

V t t-acc t-dec

The durations of the acceleration/deceleration phases are those of the trapezoid trajectory that is, they are equal to those necessary for reaching the specified speed.

The resulting acceleration/deceleration values are therefore lower than those defined by the MOVE0,X_ACC and MOVE0, X_DEC parameters.

To summarize, in the case of small movements in 2 or 3 axis systems (as well as for single axis systems for version 1.1 of the module) the movement is not performed in an optimum time, but the two- or three-dimensional trajectory is respected.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

15.2-3 Multi-axis movement : effective speed of movement

For simplicity, the explanation is given for a 2 axis system is shown, but it also applies to a 3 axis system.

The movement to be performed corresponds to the following command :

EXEC DMOVE0(1;G90;G09;X1;Y1;V=>)

The speed parameter V defines the value of the speed according to the direction of movement. It can be broken down into 2 components, Vx and Vy, on each of the axes.

∇

VxMAX and VyMAX are the maximum permitted speeds on each of the axes, X and Y.

The effective speed of movement will only be equal to the programmed speed V if V and its components satisfy all the following conditions :

≤

MAX(VxMAX,VyMAX) ; Vx

≤

VxMAX ; Vy

≤

VyMAX

Example :

∇

VyMAX

∇

VxMAX = 2000

VyMAX = 3000

V=1500

∆

X =4000

∆

Y =3000

Vx= 1200

Vy= 900

VxMAX X

V<VxMAX, V<VyMAX, Vx<VxMAX, Vy<VyMAX

__________________________________________________________________________________________

15/6

Performance and limitations

15

__________________________________________________________________________________________

If the specified speed V is greater than the maximum speed of one of the axes

(but without the projection exceeding the maximum permitted limit)

∇

VyMAX

∇

Example :

VxMAX = 2000

VyMAX = 3000

V=2400

∆ X =4000

∆

Y =3000

Vx= 1920

Vy= 1440

Vx VxMAX X

VxMAX < V < VyMAX

Vx < VxMAX

The movement is performed at the specified speed V.

If the specified speed V is greater than the maximum speed of each of the axes

(whether or not the projection exceeds the maximum speed on one or both axes).

The movement will always be rejected.

____________________________________________________________________

15.2-4 Rules to be respected for the programmed speed to be accepted

1st example : the axes have the same VMAX.

The programmed speed must respect the condition : F

≤

VMAX

2nd example : the VMAX of the axes varies only slightly.

The programmed speeds must respect the condition :

≤

VxMAX and F

≤

VyMAX (and F

≤

VzMAX).

This simple rule does not lead to movements being performed in optimum times. To obtain optimum times, it is necessary to apply the rule proposed for example no. 3.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

15/7

__________________________________________________________________________________________

3rd example : the axes have very different values for V_MAX.

(for example VxMAX=1m/min and VyMAX=15m/min)

The speed to be programmed in parameter F must be chosen so that the projections on axes X, Y, (Z) do not exceed the values for VMAX.

Example : moving from point (X0, Y0) to point (X1,Y1) in an optimum time

∇

VyMAX V

VxMAX X1

The speed V must satisfy the condition

≤

VxMAX and Vy

≤

VyMAX where Vx=V * |X1-X0|

Vy=V * |Y1-Y0|

D= √ |X1-X0| 2 +|Y1-Y0| 2

If the speed F to be programmed (1) does not respect this condition, the maximum acceptable value must be recalculated using the following algorithm :

If Vx

≥

VxMAX then Vy * VxMAX --> Vy

Vx and VxMAX --> Vx

If Vy

≥

VyMAX then Vx* VyMAX --> Vx

Vy and VyMAX --> Vy

Calculate F=

√

Vx 2 +Vy 2

Note : this explanation, shown on a 2 axis system for the sake of simplicity, can easily be extended to a 3 axis system.

(1) this value can be chosen to be equal to the greater of the 2 (3) VMAX values.

16.2 Move to a position without stopping, code G31

Movement instruction G31 specifies moving to a point "X" without stopping, at a specified speed "F", and without refusing the instruction if the requested speed cannot be reached at point X.

This instruction only applies to independent axes (MOVE OFB).

It is equivalent to instruction G01 except in the case where the distance to be travelled does not allow for the specified speed to be reached (shown in example 2 below), in which case :

• instruction G01 is refused, and the moving part is stopped,

• instruction G31 is executed "in the best way possible" : although the specified speed is not reached at the required position, the movement is executed.

Example 1 : executing a G01 and a G09 instruction in sequence. In this example the distance to be travelled by G31 is sufficient (G31 and G01 are the same).

16.3 Move to a position without stopping, code G30

Movement instruction G30 is similar to instruction G31, but in addition, it offers a feedforward mechanism which enables it to reach a specific point at the speed equivalent to that specified in the instruction. It is therefore useful when executed in sequence with another movement instruction.

This instruction only applies to independent axes (MOVE OFB). It does not take into account acceleration and deceleration parameter modifications during execution.

Note : this instruction is used in simple machining applications.

Example : comparison between G30 and G31 instructions

The difference between instructions G30 and G31 is the point at which the speed changes.

For G31, the speed is starting to change when the target position is reached.

16.4 "PAUSE" function

This function has two possible uses :

• Step by step execution of the movement control program.

• Synchronization of the axes in a group.

Step by step execution of the movement control program

Activating the Pause instruction in the Mono-Group operation screen or setting bit

•MOVEi,PAUSE to 1 causes the group to change to waiting status after the execution of the current instruction : the sequence of movements stops. Movements without stop are stopped after they have been executed.

It is therefore possible to execute movements step by step for debugging purposes by successively activating and deactivating the Pause instruction.

Synchronization of the axes in a group

Setting bit •MOVEi,PAUSE to 1 via the program for each group of axes causes the group to change to waiting status after execution of the current instruction.

When bit •MOVEi,PAUSE is reset to 0, the group of axes continues to execute the instructions.

Example

Execution of the movement of moving part 2 is stopped when moving part 1 starts to move. It is restarted as soon as the movement of moving part 1 is completed, when moving part 1 has reached position 500000.

IF[MOVE1,N_RUN=1] THEN SET MOVE2,PAUSE

16.5 Immediate "PAUSE" function

This function is used to stop the moving part in automatic mode, while still ensuring that on the instruction to restart movement the programmed trajectory is followed (with no risk of the instruction being refused).

This instruction is activated :

• via the program : by assigning the value 10 to word MOVEi,CMV speed correction coefficient,

• via the ADJ MAX software operate screen : by assigning the value 10 to the speed correction coefficient parameter CMV.

It causes the moving part to stop depending on the programmed deceleration.

The pause status report is indicated via bit MOVE,ST_PAUSE.

This instruction is deactivated :

• via the program : by reassigning the initial value (>10) to word •MOVEi,CMV speed correction coefficient,

• via the ADJ MAX software operate screen : by reassigning the initial value (>10) to the speed correction coefficient parameter CMV.

It causes the interrupted movement to restart at the speed corresponding to :

F*CMV/1000

16.6 Synchronization of groups of axes on one module

The PL7-3 language instruction SETIT synchronizes the execution of all the groups of axes on one module.

If this mechanism is not used for a instruction given during the same cycle of the master task, the groups of axes start at time intervals of up to 20 ms.

The first execution of the instruction SETIT changes all the groups of axes on the module to waiting status when they have completed the execution of the current instructions.

The second execution of the instruction SETIT initiates the simultaneous execution of all the groups of axes.

Reminder of the syntax of the instruction SETIT :

SETIT(Ixy) where x = rack number and y = module number in the rack.

Example

One TSX AXM 492 controls 4 independent axes. During a preparation phase the axes are changed to waiting status. When this phase is completed the movements on the 4 axes are then executed simultaneously.

17.1 Introduction

ADJ MAX software is an X-TEL or MINI X-TEL station tool for adjusting and operating multi-axis control applications. It will only operate in connected mode :

• PLC in STOP or RUN mode : for entering parameters (Adjust menu).

• PLC in RUN mode : for transferring parameters to the module and using the

Mono-Group and Multi-Group operating functions.

This tool accesses

●

MOVE OFB internal constants and data programmed in PL7-3 in the PLC processor.

●

MOVE OFBs should have already been declared and configured (group and axis address entered) in the PL7-3 program. This program must then be transferred to the

PLC processor so that the ADJ MAX software can access it.

This tool has an OS/2 Presentation Manager type user interface. It can be used with a mouse and the keyboard, or with the keyboard only.

Keyboard layout

The TAB key is used to move from one zone or button to another. The Up and Down arrows are used to move around within a zone. More detailed information on using the keyboard is provided in the help screen.

17.6 Transfer menu

The Adjust menu writes the parameters to the

●

MOVE OFB in the PL7-3 program in the

PLC processor.

The Transfer menu transmits these parameters to the multi-axis control module (see diagram in Section 17.1).

For the transfer to be completed successfully the PLC must be in RUN mode and there must be no OFB system error.

Description of the commands

SEND_CNF Transmits all the configuration and operating (command, servo and error control) parameters to the module.

SEND_PRM Transmits the operating parameters only to the module.

SAVE_PRM Saves the operating parameters to the OFB constants zone.

The configuration parameters are automatically saved to the OFB constant zone, and the operating parameters are saved to the data memory. This operation thus ensures that there is constantly a backup in the memory, so that whenever the OFB is reinitialized the operating parameter values which have been entered are not lost.

Exit Closes the current screen.

If a coherence error between the various parameters is detected during the transfer an error code is displayed in the Code zone and a mnemonic error symbol is displayed in the Short label zone. To obtain more information on the error, press the Help key.

18.1-3 Transmission of the configuration and adjustment parameters

The configuration and the adjustment parameters are transmitted :

• Via the ADJ MAX software using TRANSFER mode

• Automatically after a cold or warm restart

• Via the program by setting the

●

MOVEi,SEND_CNF, bit to 1. The system resets the bit to 0.

It is possible to transmit the adjustment parameters only :

• Via the ADJ MAX software using TRANSFER mode

• Via the program by setting the

●

MOVEi,SEND_PRM, bit to 1. The system resets the bit to 0.

The configuration is saved in the OFB constant zone. The adjustment parameters are saved in the data zone. To restore the contents after a cold restart, the OFB has a backup zone. The save command is executed :

• Via the ADJ MAX software using TRANSFER mode

• Via the program by setting the

●

MOVEi,SAVE_PRM, bit to 1. The system resets the bit to 0.

At a cold restart (SY0), the contents of the backup zone are restored to the adjustment parameters data zone.

18.1-4 Transmission of movement commands in automatic mode

This is performed by executing the

●

MOVEi OFBs in the PL7-3 program :

EXEC

●

MOVEi (0;G90;G09;position;speed=>)

The transfer process is described in Section 8.2-6.

18.1-5 Transmission of direct access commands

This type of command can be executed :

• By the ADJ MAX software via the OPERATE menu, (manual command JOG_P,

JOG_M, STOP, etc)

• Via the program by setting the command bit to 1 or 0, for example :

SET

●

MOVEi,JOG_P

SET

●

MOVEi,ACK_DEF.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

18/3

__________________________________________________________________________________________

18.1-6 Transmission of indirect commands

This type of command can be executed :

• By the ADJ MAX software via the OPERATE menu. The commands to be executed are selected and their execution is started by the command SEND_CMD

• Via the program by setting the commands to be executed to 1 and setting the

●

MOVEi,SEND_CMD, bit to 1. The system resets the bit to 0.

18.1-7 Reception of periodic status data

This data is updated at each master task cycle. It provides information on the status of the group or the axes associated with the OFB, (example

●

MOVEi,AXIS_ERR,

●

MOVEi,x_CALIB, etc)

This data can be tested by the program. Some of the data can be accessed by ADJ_MAX software.

18.1-8 Reception of aperiodic status data

This data is only updated at each master task cycle if the bit

●

MOVEi,MONITOR is set to 1 either by the program or the ADJ MAX software. The data provides additional information on the execution of the program, monitors the movement, and application faults on each of the axes (example

●

MOVEi,N_RUN,

●

MOVEiSPEED, etc).

This data can be tested by the program. Some of the data can be accessed by ADJ_MAX software.

18.2 Internal operation

The internal operation is based on the execution of 2 tasks :

• A 20 ms internal master task, which performs the following functions :

- reads the inputs

- handles the commands and manages the operating modes

- reads and interprets the movement commands

- coordinates and interpolates the axes

- generates the axis trajectories

- checks for faults

- processes and writes the outputs.

• A 5 ms internal fast task, which performs the following functions :

- reads the current measurements for each axis and reads the setpoints

- performs scaling

- controls all the axes

- writes the analog outputs.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Absolute encoder Encoder whose range of measurement is divided into a finite number of equal elementary spaces which are each given a single coded marker.

Axis Motor/speed drive/mechanism combination which controls the movement of a moving part in a given direction (axis, linear movement) or around a fixed rotation axis (rotating axis, circular movement).

Axis referenced Module status once the reference point has been set. Position measurements are only significant and movements are only permitted in this state.

Cartesian machine

Machine which can handle linear movements (two or three). The movement axes are orthogonal.

Deviation Difference between the position reference and the measurement during a movement.

Direction discriminator

A microprogrammed system which determines the direction of movement of the moving part.

Emergency stop Movement stop with maximum deceleration.

Event A change of state of the event input or the EVENT bit which is accessed by the program.

Feedforward gain (KV)

A coefficient used to adjust the speed anticipation of the position control loop (a compromise between the deviation and the stop point overshoot).

Forced reference point setting

Procedure for loading the current position measurement at a preset value. This operation references the axis.

Gray code Binary code which is said to be reflected, in which term n is changed to term n+1 without changing any digits. The code can thus be read without any ambiguity.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

20/1

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Incremental encoder

Pulse generator with two 90

phase-shifted signals.

Independent multi-axis

The movement rule is applied independently to each axis. The axes start at the same time, and move at a reference speed, the duration of the movement depends on the distance to be travelled.

The "axes" do not arrive at the same time. The movement in space can be of any type. The objective is to reach the target marker without the restriction of a trajectory.

Interpolation One of the roles of axis control is to coordinate the movements of the machine axes, so that the programmed trajectory is created.

The interpolation function generates this trajectory while keeping to the programmed speed. It can be linear or circular, two or threedimensional

ISO International Standard Organization. The ISO code is widely used.

The formats, symbols and transmission rules are the subject of the

ISO standards. AFNOR is a member of the ISO.

Lower soft stop Lower position measurement which the moving part must not pass below (set by the command parameter x_SLMIN).

Machine characteristic coefficient (KR)

Machine parameter adaptation coefficient. A self-adjustment procedure is used to add precision to the value and avoid any possible loss of precision in the definition of the machine parameters.

Machine reference point

Machine axis measurement reference point.

Mechanical cam Mechanical projection on an axis which actuates a limit switch when the moving part passes over it.

Movement A series of elementary movements.

Movement law This is the rule of variation in position, speed and acceleration references. It is often illustrated by the curve : speed = F (time). In an increasing order of complexity there are : rectangular, triangular, trapezoid, parabolic and sine squared laws.

Multi-axis machine (robot)

Mechanical assembly for managing the movement and orientation of a moving part in a multi-dimensional space.

Non-cartesian machine

Machine with axes, at least one of which is rotating, or with a pair of non-orthogonal linear axes. The machine may therefore have more than 3 degrees of freedom (generally 4 to 6).

Parametered indexed position (PREF)

Index value for calculating indexed positions.

Absolute position = index (PREF) + indexed position

Reference point setting

Procedure for loading the current position measurement by moving the moving part and detection of the external event (reference point input and/or cam input).

Resolution Smallest variation of input data which provides measurable information on the output data.

Return from soft stop overshoot

After a soft stop overshoot, automatic movement of the moving part at low speed in order to return to within the soft stops.

Servo control Control system function which consists of making a physical measurement conform to a fixed or variable reference (position control, speed control, etc).

Speed correction coefficient

A coefficient which multiplies all speeds by a value of 0 to 2 in steps of 1/1000.

Speed reference Theoretical speed of the moving part calculated by the module using the maximum acceleration rule and the programmed speed.

Synchronized multi-axis / free trajectory generator

The same movement law is applied to all the axes. The speed of each axis is adjusted so that all the axes arrive at the target marker at the same time. If a cartesian machine is used, the result is a linear movement, otherwise the movement can of be any type.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Target window Positioning tolerance around the stop point.

Trajectory Series of elementary movements which pass through intermediate markers between a start marker and a target marker. The movement between the two markers is executed at an appropriate speed or in an appropriate time.

Upper soft stop Upper position measurement which the moving part must not exceed (set by the command parameter x_SLMAX).

Valid measurement area

EXEC TMOVEi (N;G9_;G;X;Y;Z;F=>) where i = OFB number from 0 to M-1 (M being the usage number declared at CONFIGURATION).

N = number identifying the movement performed by the OFB, identifies the current movement in debug mode.

G9_ = type of movement

G90 movement to an absolute position value

G91 movement to a relative value with respect to the current position.

G = instruction code

G09 : move to the position and stop

G01 : move to the position without stopping

G10 : move until an event is detected and stop

G11 : move until an event is detected without stopping

G14 : reference point on axis X

G15 : reference point on axis Y

G16 : reference point on axis Z

G20 : reserved for the system

G24 : recalibration on the fly (1)

G53 : cancel the PREF offset

G54 : validate the PREF offset

G62 : forced reference point (1)

G05 : await an event

G07 : memorize the current position in PREF when an event occurs

X, Y, Z = coordinates of the position to be reached or towards which the moving part must move.

The unit in which these values are expressed is defined by the configuration parameter UNIT (this parameter is set using ADJ MAX software) :

µ m (unit selected by default)

- 10 -5 inch

- 10 -5 degree

- increment

F = speed of movement of the moving part. The unit of speed depends on the selected position unit.

µ m (unit selected by default) --> mm/min
