4.2 Using MacTalk to setup the motor
4.2.1 MacTalk introduction
The MacTalk software is the main interface for setting up the MAC motor for a specific
application.
The program offers the following features:
- Choice of the operating mode of the MAC motor.
- Changing main parameters such as speed, motor torque, Homing type, etc.
- Monitoring the actual motor parameters in real time, such as motor load, supply
voltage, voltage at the analogue input, etc.
- Changing protection limits such as position limits, maximum position error.
- Determine what should happen if the supply voltage gets too low.
- Saving all current parameters to file.
- Restoring all parameters from file.
- Saving all parameters permanently in the motor.
- Updating the motor firmware or MacTalk software from the internet or a file.
The main window of the program changes according to the selected mode, thus only
showing the relevant parameters for operation in the selected mode.
The following pages describe the actual window for each mode and how the parameters
affect the MAC motor operation.
The complete setup
can be either saved
or reloaded from a
file using these
b ttonsu
System control
Use these b ttons to save datau
permanently, reset the motor etc.
Error Handling
Use these fields
to define error
limits for the pos-
ition range etc.
Input/Outputs
The functionality
of the I/O's is
specified here.
Ta b s
Various functions such
as mechanical homing,
scope, event log etc.
is available on a number
of tabs.
Motor status
This field shows the
actual motor load,
position and speed etc.
Inputs
This field shows the
actual supply voltage,
the speed at the pulse
input and the voltage
at the analogue input.
I/O management
The actual I/O levels
at user I/O‹s are shown
here.
Errors
If a fatal error occurs,
information will be
displayed here.
Motor connection data
- Shows if motor is online
- Serial number
- Firmware version
- Optional module present
Undervoltage handling
Determine what hap-
pens if the supply
voltage gets too low..
Profile Data
All the main parameters
for controling the motor
behaviour are set up in
this field.
Actual/Startup mode
The basic functionality
of the MAC motor is
set up in this field.
