Motion functions
Rotary table function
When controlling a rotary working table target
position is calculated and reached within one
revolution. Rotary table function enables the drive
to detect the shortest way to reach the desired
angular position, considering the shaft revolutions
needed to do a complete table rotation.
Best sense of rotation, clockwise or anti-clockwise
can also be detected, in order to minimize travel
time and distance.
Jog and teach-in functions
In “jog mode” drive can be freely moved at fixed
speed in both directions through the “manual” set
of assigned digital inputs.
During jog mode, several target positions can
approached and saved through Teach-in function:
when desired position is reached, teach-in function
allows to take over actual position in the active
travel record as target position.
Homing
A comprehensive set of homing functions,
according to CANOpen DSP 4.02 standard is
available in Active Cube. 36 different homing
modes can be used to answer to the motion
requirements of a wide range of machines.
