Configuration

  • For the following application example, a MOVI-C® CONTROLLER is required as hardware. The real axes used are simulated.
  1. In MOVISUITE® in "Planning" mode, create a project with a MOVI-C® CONTROLLER, one virtual axis ("master") and one real axis ("FlyingSaw"). In the application example, the virtual axis acts as the master axis.
  2. Configure a valid drive train without user units for the real axis.
  3. Assign the following software modules to the axes:
    • Master: MOVIKIT® Gearing
    • FlyingSaw: MOVIKIT® FlyingSaw
  4. Configure the user unit for the "master" axis:
    • User unit: User-defined unit: mm
    • 1 revolution = 100 mm
    • Position: mm, number of decimal places 4
    • Speed: mm/s, number of decimal places 4
    • Acceleration: mm/(s*s), number of decimal places 2
  5. Configure the user unit for the "FlyingSaw" axis:
    • User unit: mm
    • Position: mm, number of decimal places 4
    • Speed: mm/s, number of decimal places 4
    • Acceleration: mm/(s*s), number of decimal places 2
  6. Configure the software module of the "master" axis:
    • Fieldbus interface – Activate fieldbus connection
    • Fieldbus interface – Start address: 1
  7. Configure the software module of the "FlyingSaw" axis:
    • Basic settings – Activate simulation
    • Synchronous operation – Master source: Configured axis
    • Synchronous operation – Name of master axis: Master
    • Fieldbus interface – Activate fieldbus connection
    • Fieldbus interface – Start address: 9
  • The configuration results in the following process data assignment:
  1. Open the configuration of the MOVIRUN® flexible.
  2. Select a fieldbus protocol in the "Fieldbus" configuration menu in the "Fieldbus card" section.
  3. Switch to "Startup" mode.
  4. Connect the MOVI-C® CONTROLLER in the project view with the MOVI-C® CONTROLLER in the network view and then update the IEC project.
