Output of configuration data
The configuration data of a machine (HMI version, NCU version, axis configuration, drive
configuration, bus parameters, active bus nodes) can be written into a file and subsequently
read out or printed.
Configuration data is output in 2 stages:
1. Creation of the configuration data file CONFIGURATION_DATA in the "Diagnostics"
operating area by pressing the "Config. data" softkey.
2. Read-out of the CONFIGURATION_DATA file in the “Services” operating area. To do
this, the configuration file CONFIGURATION_DATA is generated.
The configuration data are combined in the CFGDAT.TXT file. The path and name of the file
are output in the info line.
5.5.1 Service axis
Use
The information in the "Service axis" dialog is used to check:
● Setpoint branch: e.g. position setpoint, speed setpoint, programmed spindle speed
setpoint
● Actual value branch: e.g. position actual value measuring system 1 and 2, position
setpoint
● Optimizing the position control loop of the axis: e.g. following error, system deviation, Kv
factor)
● Complete control loop of the axis: e.g. by comparing the position setpoint and the position
actual value, speed setpoint and speed actual value
● Hardware faults: e.g. checking the encoder. If the axis is moved mechanically, the actual
position value must change.
● Setting and checking axis monitoring functions
The "Service axis/spindle" dialog displays reference values and units for the machine axis
together with axis name and axis number.
The service values of the next or previous axis are displayed using the softkeys "Axis +" and
"Axis −". The "Direct selection" softkey allows you to select an axis directly from the list of
available axes.
