5.2 Diagnostics via STARTER
The diagnostic functions support commissioning and service personnel during
commissioning, troubleshooting, diagnostics and service activities.
Prerequisite
● Online operation of STARTER.
Diagnostic functions
The following diagnostic functions are available in STARTER:
● Specifying signals with the ramp-function generator
● Signal recording with the trace function
● Analyzing the control response with the measuring function
● Outputting voltage signals for external measuring devices via test sockets
5.2.1 Function generator
Description
The function generator is used, for example, for the following tasks:
● To measure and optimize control loops.
● To compare the dynamic response of coupled drives.
● To specify a simple traversing profile without a traversing program.
Use the function generator to generate different signal shapes.
In the connector output operating mode (r4818), the output signal can be injected into the
control loop via the BICO interconnection.
Depending on the mode set, this setpoint can also be applied to the control structure as, for
example, a current setpoint, disturbing torque, or speed setpoint. The impact of
superimposed control loops is automatically suppressed.
