MAH and Homing a Kinetix Axis: The Switch, the Marker, and the Home That Lands in the Wrong Place

Position and velocity against time for a home to switch then marker: forward at 25 mm/s to the switch at 62 mm, reverse at 5 mm/s until the switch clears, on to the marker at 55.4 mm

MAH and Homing a Kinetix Axis: The Switch, the Marker, and the Home That Lands in the Wrong Place A home-to-switch-then-marker sequence at a Home Speed of 25 mm/s and a Home Return Speed of 5 mm/s takes just over four seconds on a 2198-D032-ERS4 axis, and 1.5 of those seconds are spent crawling back … Read more

Safety Feedback on a Kinetix 5700: What SFX and the Safe Speed Functions Need From the Encoder

The chain from encoder to safe speed function on a Kinetix 5700: cycles per revolution, the DSL or universal port with its interpolation, the motion safety instance, the safety input assembly, the SFX instruction and the safety instructions that use its outputs

Safety Feedback on a Kinetix 5700: What SFX and the Safe Speed Functions Need From the Encoder A VPL-B0631T-W gives 512 cycles per motor revolution and a VPC-Bxxxx-Q gives 4096. Put the wrong one of those two numbers into the Motion Safety instance and the drive catches you: the DSL diagnostics compare the configured resolution … Read more
