Servo setting and support
software
MR Configurator –
a complete
engineering
environment
The MR Configurator software package
makes configuration and diagnostics quick
and easy and includes powerful graphical
machine analysis and simulation functions.
Machine analysis enables determination of
the frequency response of the connected
drive train without any additional instru-
ments. If necessary, you can then make
design changes or install filters to achieve
better machine performance. The system
can be connected to a personal computer
with a standard USB (Universal Serial Bus)
port.
Powerful new
functions
쐽 Selecting a variety of waveforms is
now possible
Powerful graph functions with 3 analog
channels and 4 digital channels support
tuning. User-friendly functions and a
diverse waveform selection powerfully
support user’s work.
The speed-torque characteristic diagram of
the motor in operation can be displayed.
Since the current operation status can be
displayed on the screen, the status of a
servo system can be checked in real-time.
쐽 Improved accuracy
When the Start button is pressed, the servo
motor is automatically oscillated, and the
machine system’s frequency characteristics
are displayed.
The frequency characteristics that could
previously only be analyzed in a range
between 0.1 and 1kHz can now be ana-
lyzed in a range between 0.1 and 4.5kHz.
This can also be used as a tool to compre-
hend the machine system’s characteristics.
In addition, data can be overwritten.
쐽
Improved usability
While automatically fluctuating the gain,
the setup software MR Configurator
searches for values with the shortest set
-
tling time and lowest overshooting or
vibration.
Basic setting parameters can be easily set in
a selection format. Settings in the list for
-
mat are also possible.

A wide range of automatic configuration
assistants make
it easy to set up your new
servo systems correctly, even for less expe-
rienced users. The strong benefits are:
쐽 Easy set up
MR Configurtator allows for easy set up and
tuning the servo system with a standard
personal computer.
쐽 Multiple monitor functions
Graphic display functions are provided to
display the servo motor status with the
input signal triggers, such as the command
pulse, droop pulse and speed.
쐽 Test operations with a personal
computer
Test operation of the servo motors can be
performed with a personal computer using
multiple test mode menus.
쐽 Advanced functions
Further advanced tuning is possible with
the improved advanced functions.

쐽 From tubes to pillows
Probably the most common type of pack-
aging machines are the pillow type
machines used to package a whole host of
products. These machine types are known
as “pillow” because of the distinct shape of
the packaging film being formed around
the product to be packaged. There is often
a variance of 2 or 3 specific sealing points
which are then cut to individually package
the product ready for shipping. The prod-
ucts are fed into the machine in a number
of different ways using conveyors, hoppers,
rotating arms etc.

nised with the film packaging which is fed
from the feed roller into a forming station
which forms the packaging around the
product. The package is then sealed and
cut away from the film train, resulting in a
completely packaged product ready for
boxing or other packaging processes.

System Q is ideal for such applications as
programming can be kept simple with the
Q CPU logic controller, high accuracy main-
tained with the Q motion controller easily
integrated with an efficient user interface
such as the GOT1000. Hence these products
are combined into a truly total solution.
쐽 Phase compensation is the key
The high accuracy demands of this type of
machine are not a problem for the Q
motion controller and MR-J3 series of servo
drives together with SSCNET III servo net-
work. As mentioned with bottle filling, a
cam profile can be very easily designed and
implemented by using software based
tools. In addition to this, the Q motion con-
troller incorporates a phase compensation
algorithm which ensures that the encoder
phase angle and cam phase angle are pre-
cisely in synchronization. In general this
means that the packaging cutters can be
precisely synchronised with the feed of the
conveyor, hence providing an accurate cut
at high speed.
