Direct Adjustments at Servo Drive

**

With the servo drive you can adjust the position (or turning angle) directly by the PLC-word as well. Doing this you activate the check box ‘direct adjustment’. Now you have to transfer an INT-value into the program. A little different rules are valid for the linear mover and the joint:

With the linear mover you adjust the position in the global adjusted units (mm is default, adjustable in View|Options|Machine). The reference point is the beginning of the linear mover.

With the joint you can adjust the unit ‘degree’ or ‘rad’ immediately on the edit mask of the servo drive. If you have selected ‘degree’ as unit you will have to transfer the set value of the angle in 0,1 degree. If you have connected the servo drive e.g. to a word QW 50 and you want an angle of 72 degree you will have to grogram:

L   720

T   QW 50

If you have adjusted ‘rad’ as unit you will have to specify the angle in 0,001 radian.

The other adjustments on the edit mask of the servo drive keep their function.

With the joint this operating mode corresponds to the old absolute real drive, but with more comfort.

If the range of values of an INT is not enough for its purpose you will be able to activate the check box ‘DINT’. Now the setpoint has to be specified as DINT whose range of values should be enough for all realistic cases of use.
