17.3.3 Shortest rotating indexer operation
This operation mode automatically changes a rotation direction to the shortest distance to execute positioning
to a station.
Select a station No. with "Target point table" to execute positioning. For the servo motor speed, acceleration
time constant and deceleration time constant during operation, the values set in the object are used.
(1) Setting
Set objects and parameters as shown below.
Object/parameter to be used
Indexer mode (idx)
selection
Shortest rotating indexer
selection
Switch on "Controlword bit 6 (Operation
mode)".
Set the servo motor speed.
Acceleration time constant
Set the acceleration time constant.
Deceleration time constant
Set the deceleration time constant.
Set a speed limit value for during operation.
Positive torque limit value
Negative torque limit value
Set a torque limit value for during operation.
Set a torque limit value for during stop.
Set a time period for switching the torque limit
value in operation to in stop.
The torque limit will change from the setting value of "Torque limit value2" to the setting value of "Positive torque
limit value" or "Negative torque limit value" when "Controlword bit 4 (New set-point)" is inputted. After the output of
S_MEND (Travel completion) and the time set with [Pr. PT39] has passed, the torque limit will be switched from the
set value of "Positive torque limit value" or "Negative torque limit value" to the set value of "Torque limit value2".
(2) Other parameter settings
The setting is the same as in the rotation direction specifying indexer. Refer to section 19.3.2 (2).
(3) Operation
Selecting the next station with "Target point table" and switching on "Controlword bit 4 (New set-point)"
starts positioning to the selected next station at the set speed, acceleration time constant and
deceleration time constant.
Set a station No. at which positioning starts.
Switch on "Controlword bit 4 (New set-point)".
