Axis types •Part I General •Overview Continuous axes •Axis types •Functional principle •Referencing •Motion Control The axis responds to a continuously Function Blocks changeable set value Teil II Practical Part: The set value is generated by TwinCAT NC, •Setting up NC axes in the System Manager •Starting NC axes e.g. servo with +/- 10 V, Sercos drive, from the PLC frequency converter, linearised hydraulic axis, stepper motor drive with amplifier 4 10.02.2009

Axis types High/low speed axes The axis responds to a two-stage set speed value including direction of rotation: FAST/SLOW and FORWARDS/REVERSE The set value is generated by TwinCAT NC, e.g. frequency converter with fast/slow inputs, combination interlock. Warning: Acquisition of actual value (Encoder is necessary) 5 10.02.2009

Axis types Low cost stepper motor The axis consists of a stepper motor which is connected to digital outputs and reacts to pulses (A/B from the terminals) Fast pulse sequence -> motor turns quicklylSlow pulse sequence -> motor turns slowly The set value (= pulse pattern) is generated by TwinCAT NC . 6 10.02.2009

Axis types Low cost stepper motor , Hardware e.g. 24 Volt stepper motor with 2A output terminals An encoder is NOT required for acquisition of the actual value, since the pulses that are output are counted. ! The mechanical design and/or maximum rotary speed/torque should be examined to ensure that the motor will be able to "keep up", since an output terminal cannot provide an increased voltage at higher frequency 7 10.02.2009

Axis types Virtual encoder axis, An axis that only consists of an encoder. "Normal” (continuous) axes can be coupled to this axis as slaves, and follow the set encoder value of the virtual encoder axis. (Gear ratio possible) HAND WHEEL FUNCTION 8 10.02.2009

Axis types Output is a speed value The actual position is monitored. Output: Speed pre-control + controller output (acceleration pre-control also is optional) Feedback: Actual position value At specific axis types e.g. SERCOS is also a direct output of the Setposition in NC time possible. 9 10.02.2009

Set value profiles „hard“, big Acceleration change 12 10.02.2009

Set value profiles „smooth“, the acceleration rises (linearly) 13 10.02.2009

Set value profiles „most smooth “, the acceleration reaches no more constant phase 14 10.02.2009

Referencing Reference switch (PLC input) Reference switch was reached, axis brakes Gearing PLC: Start with execute 20 10.02.2009

Referencing Reference switch (PLC input) Axis moves back until reference switch is free. Gearing PLC: Start with execute 21 10.02.2009

Referencing completed (a) Reference switch (PLC input) Axis brakes, actual position is set Gearing PLC: Start with execute 22 10.02.2009

Referencing completed (b) AX2000: After leaving the reference switch, TwinCAT NC waits for the Reference switch “Syncsignal” of AX2000 and then stops. (PLC input) Advantage: more exactely. The set position in the standstill of the axis is calculated with the internal latch of the AX2000 (corresponds to the zero signal at Incremental encoders) Gearing Standard settings in the TwinCAT System Manager 23 10.02.2009

Referencing completed. Which position is set? If „Position“ DEFAULT_HOME_POSITION (global variable from TCMC.LIB) is submitted at the Fb input, the value is taken out of the System Manager. Otherwise the value is taken at the input „Position“ 24 10.02.2009
