Configuration

  • A MOVI-C® CONTROLLER, a real axis, and a switch are required as the hardware for the following application example.
  • The switch is used to simulate touchprobe signals and must be connected to the touchprobe input (DI 04) of the inverter.
  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:
    • Synchronous operation – Master source: Configured axis
    • Synchronous operation – Name of master axis: Master
    • Fieldbus interface – Activate fieldbus connection
    • Fieldbus interface – Start address: 9
    • Touchprobe 1 – General – Touchprobe source: Configured axis
    • Touchprobe 1 – General – Name of touchprobe axis: Master
    • Touchprobe 1 – General – Mode: Multiple
    • Touchprobe 1 – Trigger – Source: DI04
    • Touchprobe 1 – Trigger – Event: Rising edge
    • Touchprobe 1 – Trigger – Sensor dead time rising edge: 0 ms (as no real sensor is used)
  • 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.
