Run a Motor and Feedback Test
The Motor and Feedback Test is the most commonly used Hookup Test because
it automatically tests both the motor and feedback wiring and determines correct
polarity values.
Follow these steps to perform a Motor and Feedback Hookup Test.
1. Go to the Hookup Tests dialog box.
Remember that a blue arrow next to a field means that when you change its
value the new value automatically gets written to the controller when you
leave the field.
2. Enter the Test Distance.
This is the distance that the test moves the axis.
3. Click Start to run the Motor and Feedback test.
4. The axis will move on its own to test for feedback polarity and proper
wiring. Watch the axis to check for proper rotation direction.
ATTENTION: These tests make the axis move even with the controller in
remote Program mode. Before you do the tests, make sure no one is in
the way of the axis.
