4.4 Movement test
Always check the tubing of the axes. Besides the visual check
of the tubing (see system manual for the SPC200), you can
check the functioning of the axis set−up with the aid of the
movement test.
During the movement test you can modify the control voltage
of the valve. When the supply pressure
is switched off, you
can observe the reaction of the valve slide in the viewing win
dow of the valve and thereby check the functioning of the
valve.
The controller is switched off during the movement test.
Therefore the software end positions set with the application
data have no effect.
Warning
The controller is switched off during this function. This is to
prevent the pneumatic axes from making sudden uncon
trolled movements when the supply pressure is switched
on. The set software end positions have no effect.
If you wish to carry out the movement test with the supply
pressure switched on:
· Make sure that the complete positioning range of the
pneumatic axes is free.
· Point out the danger to other people by means of suit
able warning signs or protective screens.
· Keep the acceleration forces at a low level. To do this set
a low supply pressure of maximum 3 bar and remove the
work load and the tool load.
