AKD BASIC Terminal Mode - Two Minutes of Motion Series

Transcript

Gordon S. Ritchie: (00:18.41)
Hello, I’m Gordon Ritchie with Kollmorgen and this is “Two Minutes of Motion”. The AKD BASIC servo drive uses a simple programming language. While a program can be created using the Program Development Environment, the same commands can be entered in the terminal screen and executed as an aid in troubleshooting.
Gordon S. Ritchie: (00:27.09)
I usually begin by going to the Terminal screen and entering DRV.RSTVAR. This will set the drive back to the factory defaults. If you are using a demo or drive that has been used by other individuals, this is the best place to start. After all, you never know what the last person was testing or trying to achieve. It is also good practice to save the parameters in the drive, just incase your colleague forgot to save the files they were working on.
Gordon S. Ritchie: (00:30.47)
I have already set up my user units for velocity in RPM, acceleration and deceleration in RPM/s and distance in degrees. Remember the user units directly affect the parameters that are entered for all move type.

To open the Terminal, scroll down the tree in the Device Topology to the last icon. The Terminal screen allows commands to be issued directly into the drive. For our example we are going to create an incremental move.
Gordon S. Ritchie: (00:32.94)
Our move parameters will be entered as follows:
Acceleration is MOVE.ACC and will equal 1000 or 1000 RPM/s. Deceleration is MOVE.DEC and will also equal 1000. Velocity is MOVE.RUNSPEED and equals 500, or 500 RPM. Distance is MOVE.RELATIVEDIST is 3600, or 3,600 degrees, or 10 revolutions of the motor shaft.
Gordon S. Ritchie: (00:05.06)
Before we give the move command we need to make sure the hardware enable is set.
Gordon S. Ritchie: (00:17.13)
To issue the software enable from the terminal we enter DRV.EN, enter, or we can simply click the Enable icon on the top header. To execute the move, use MOVE.GOREL followed by Enter.
Gordon S. Ritchie: (00:05.81)
MOVE.GOREL can be entered as many times as you need to repeat the move.
Gordon S. Ritchie: (00:27.75)
Using the terminal can be a quick method to check your motion and can be helpful in troubleshooting and self-education. Just remember, it is not saved and cannot be used at a later date. Using the terminal screen can, however, get you classified as a Power User.

Learn how to enter motion commands directly into the AKD BASIC drive via the terminal screen to simplify troubleshooting, with no need to edit a program in the development environment.

Why Does My Stepper Sing?

Welcome to a new series covering questions we get asked from time to time, simply called Why?. In our first installment, we decided to answer the question, "Why does my step motor sing?" Well, more like why does it make noise (Singing would be a stretch...). We explain the basics of where the noise may come from, and what you can do to quiet it down.

Why Does My Step Motor Get Hot?

Can my step motor get hot enough to cook an egg? In this segment of The Why? Series, Bob explains why a typical step motor may get hot. Learn why a step motor will heat up, and what can be done to reduce this heating. Unless of course, you are looking to cook an egg!

Hygienic Servo Design Improves Customers Machine

Check out this Why Motion Matters segment on how Kollmorgen helped Packaging Progressions Inc. improve machine performance by reducing machine cleaning time, improving machine reliability, and helping reduce the potential risk for food recall - all with the AKMH hygienic servo motor.

Embedded Servo Design

In this Why Motion Matters segment, Bob discusses the advantages of utilizing an embedded design makes sense, and how its easier to design into your machine than you might think.

AKD-P – Motion Task - Blending Moves

In this Two Minutes of Motion episode, Gordon elaborates on how the AKD Motion Task moves can be blended. Blending consecutive moves by matching velocity or acceleration allows the machine designer to optimize the motion profile to meet performance requirements.
