Operation 5-9MN1904
5.4 Testing and tuning
This section describes the method for testing and tuning an axis.
5.4.1 Testing the drive command output
This section tests the operation and direction of the axis command output. It is recommended
that the motor is disconnected for this test.
1. Check that t he Drive enable button is pressed
(down).
2. In the Toolbox, click Application then click
the Edit & Debug icon.
3. Click in the Command window .
4. Type:
TORQUE.0=5
where 0 is the axis (demand output) to be
tested. In this example, this should cause a
demand of +5% of maximum output (0.5V) to
be produced at the Demand0 output
(connector X7, pin 1). See section 4.5.2 for
details of the demand outputs. In WorkBench v5, look at the Spy window located on the right
of the screen. The virtual LED Command display should show 5 (approximately). If there
seems to be no command output, check the electrical connections between the
NextMove BX
II
and the drive.
5. To repeat the tests for negative (reverse) demands, type:
TORQUE.0=-5
This should cause a demand of -5 % of maximum output (-0.5V) to be p roduced at the
Demand0 output.
