K10CR1 Cage Rotation Stage

6.3.3 Rotation Stages Tab

Fig. 6.7 Advanced Settings

Absolute Position Reporting Mode

This setting relates to the way in which the angular position is displayed on the GUI

panel.

Equivalent Angle 0 to 360 degrees – The maximum displayed position is 359.99°. If

a stage is driven past the 360° rotation point, the display reverts back to zero and

counts up to 360° again.

Total Angle (360 x Num Revs + Angular Offset) – The total angular rotation is

displayed, e.g. for a movement of two full rotations plus 10°, the display will show

730°.

Note. The following parameters are applicable only if the Absolute Position Reporting

Mode is set to ‘Equivalent Angle 0 to 360 degrees’.

Panel Display Rotation Move Mode

This setting specifies the move direction.

Rotate Positive – The move is performed in a positive direction

Rotate Negative - The move is performed in a negative direction

Rotate Quickest - The move is performed in the quickest direction

Note

The position display on the GUI panel will show the position up to a

maximum of 15,480° or 43 full revolutions. Beyond this, the platform will

continue to rotate but the position display is no longer accurate. To

restore the positional accuracy of the display the stage should be homed.
