Performing test moves - continuous jog
This section tests the basic operation of the drive and motor by performing a
continuous jog. To stop a move in progress, click the red stop button or the drive
enable button on the toolbar. Alternatively, use the Mint WorkBench ‘Red Stop Button’
feature.
1. Check that the Drive enable button is
pressed (down).
2. In the Toolbox, click the Edit & Debug
icon.
3. Click in the Command window.
Type:
JOG(0)=10
This will cause the motor to move
continuously at 10 units per second.
In Mint WorkBench, look at the Spy
window located on the right of the screen. Check that the axis tab is selected. The
Spy window's Velocity display should show 10 (approximately). If there seems to
be very little motor movement, it is probably due to the scale factor. In the
Commissioning Wizard, on the Select Scale Factor page, if you did not adjust the
scale factor then the current unit of movement is feedback counts per second.
Depending on the motor's feedback device, 10 feedback counts per second could
equate to a very small velocity. Issue another JOG command using a larger value,
or use the Operating Mode Wizard to select a suitable scale factor (e.g. 4000 if
the motor has a 1000 line encoder, or 10,000 for a 2500 line encoder).
4. To stop the test, type:
STOP(0)
5. If you have finished testing click the
Drive Enable button to disable the
drive.
