15.4 Dancer position control (linear drive)
The dancer position controls the material tension while the machine is running.
The example describes the synchronisation of material web speed v
2
to line
speed v
1
. This application requires an application-I/O.
l Internal process controller as position controller.
l Selection of the line speed v
1
via X3/1U.
l Actual dancer position value of dancer potentiometer via X3/2U.
l Setting-up speed via X3/E3 as JOG value.
l Dancer position controller switch off via X3/E4 (external) or internally via
Q
min
(C0017) and C0415/1 = 6.
l Basic settings.
l Motor parameter identification. (¶ 10.9-1)
l
If necessary, calibration of setpoints and actual values to process variables.

C0105 Deceleration time QSP approx. 1 s E.g. as emergency stop function. The settings
must ensure braking of the controller to
standstill within a very short time. Check
whether the application needs an external
brake resistor.

Value of
C0051
Position the dancer a s re quired, C0051 = read actual dancer
position value.
C0181 should not be set to “0”, because t he
position setpoint would be generated from the
mains setpoint.
C0239 Lowest frequency limit 0.00 Hz Direction of rotation cannot be changed via the
process controller.
C0238 Frequency precontrol 1 Precontrol (total setpoint + process controller)
Total setpoint (PCTRL1-SET3) = Main setpoint + additional
setpoint
Process controller has limited influence.
