Appendix E Encoder/Pulse Train Usage and Position StepLogic Application
Positioning Operation
Parameter A558 [Positioning Mode] must be set to properly match the desired
operation of the positioning function.
A558
[Positioning Mode] Options
0 “Time Steps uses Step Logic times. This mode ignores the Step Logic
settings and moves through the steps (Step 0 to Step 7 and back to Step 0)
based on the times programmed into L190
...L197 [Stp Logic Time x].
This can be used when the desired position is based only on time. In
addition, this mode only accepts absolute positions in a positive direction
from “home”. This option provides an easy way to implement a simple
positioning program or to test the basic positioning setup. For additional
flexibility one of the other settings should be used.
1 “Preset Input” directly commands movement to any step based on the
status of the digital inputs programmed for “Preset Freq”. This setting
ignores the Step Logic Commands settings and instead the drive will move
directly to whatever step is currently commanded by A410
...A425 [Preset
Freq x] and L200
...L214 [Step Units x]. This is useful when an application
needs direct access to any position step based on discrete inputs. This
mode moves in the forward direction from Home and is an absolute move.
2 “Step Logic” provides a highly flexible mode of operation. This can be
used to move through the steps (Step 0 to Step 7 and back to Step 0) or can
jump to a different step at any time based on time or the status of digital
inputs or communication commands. In this mode the drive always starts
at Step 0 of the Step Logic profile.
3 “Preset StpL is identical to 2 “Step Logic” except the drive will use the
current status of the Preset Inputs to determine which Step Logic step to
begin. This only affects the initial step. After start, the drive will move
through the steps in the same manner as if setting 2 was selected.
4 “StpLogic-Lst” is identical to 2 “Step Logic” except the drive will use
the step prior to its last stop command to determine which Step Logic step
to begin. This only affects the initial step. After start, the drive will move
through the steps in the same manner as if setting 2 was selected. This
allows a process to be stopped and then restarted at the position where it
stopped.
Advanced Step Logic options such as incremental move are not
available in this mode.
