Operating the XtraDrive Using XtraWare
¾ To operate the wizard:
1. Select New Project from the File menu.
2. Follow the instructions on the following Wizard screens:
♦ Motor Selection: Select your motor from the list or add a new motor.
♦ Basic Selection: Set the control method, usually “programming”. For
host controller applications with pulse train output use “Position control
(Pulse train)”. For YASKAWA option board (NS300, NS500, etc), set for
“YASKAWA Option board”.
Set motor direction.
Axis address.
XtraDrive supports networking of up to 15 drives connected by
serial communication. (Use RS 232 for communication with a
single XtraDrive and RS422 for use with up to fifteen XtraDrive
units.)
Set XtraDrive address.
♦ Commutation Settings (Only applicable for motors with A quad B
encoders):
Software commutation (Phase finding) – XtraDrive finds the
commutation angle without sensors. This takes several seconds on
the first CONTROL ON after powering up.
With commutation sensors (Hall sensors) – Some models of XtraDrive
support commutation sensors of 5V or 24V. Set according to the
sensors’ polarity.
♦ User Units:
Set user units for position, speed and acceleration.
Position units must be in the range of 0.01 – 100.
♦ Default Profile:
Set default speed, acceleration and jerk (speed and acceleration
values are mandatory). The values can be changed in the program
using the appropriate commands.
Set the end of motion window in the Advance Setting screen.
♦ Analog Input:
If you plan to use the analog input command, set the following values.
Otherwise skip this screen.
Ratio between the analog command and the generated speed
Ratio between the analog command and the generated torque
♦ Pulse Train:
Set the following if your application requires pulse-train values.
Otherwise skip this screen.
Pulse-train form and logic.
Electronic gear between the pulse-train and the motor. (See section
12.1 as well as Electronic Gear in the Glossary.)
