5-18 Operation MN1941WEN

Click in the Active column and enter a value for the scale factor. This immediately sets the

scaling factor for the selected axis, which will remain in the NextMove e100 until another

scale is defined or power is removed. A yellow ‘C’ icon will appear to the left of the

ScaleFactor entry to indicate that the value has been changed. Other parameters that

depend on the scale factor may also change automatically to maintain their relative value;

these will also be indicated by a yellow ‘C’ icon. See the Mint help file for full details of the

Parameters tool.

Note: The parameter list also contains entries for PosScaleFactor, VelScaleFactor and

AccelScaleFactor. These parameters are provided to comply with the CANopen

DS402 Device Profile for Drives and Motion Control, which specifies separate

scaling for position, velocity and acceleration. Each can be set to different values

so that, for example, position could be specified in mm, velocity in m/s

and

acceleration in g. However, in most cases all scaling will be required to use the

same type of unit, for example meters for position, m/s for velocity and m/s

for

acceleration. For this reason, setting the general purpose ScaleFactor

parameter will automatically set PosScaleFactor, VelScaleFactor and

AccelScaleFactor to the same values. See the Mint help file for further details.
