Slack rope monitoring
In the configuration of the MOVIKIT® StackerCrane MultiAxisController, the submenu "Slack rope monitoring" of the "Monitoring functions" menu offers functions for monitoring the rope tension.
Parameter group | Description |
|---|---|
Slack rope monitoring | The rope tension is monitored using the parameters "External encoder distance" and "Motor encoder distance". Slack rope monitoring is enabled if the parameter is set to a value other than "0". |
Note:
The following applies to the parameter values: The "Motor encoder distance" is greater than the "External encoder distance". The recommended ratio is 2:1. To determine the configuration values, go up to the mechanical stop and determine the appropriate values for your application. When monitoring is enabled and the motor encoder moves by the configured distance, then the system checks whether the external encoder moves by at least the configured distance. If an error occurs, a "SlackRopeError" is signaled.
