Scaling / Units

Scaling wizard

In the "Motion Profile, Units/Scaling" subject area the physical data of the application are matched to the drive controller. Three scaling profiles are available.
For the CiA 402 profile and SERCOS scaling is supported by a wizard. "User-defined" scaling can only be set directly in the parameter editor.

Selecting the scaling wizard: There is no wizard to assist with "User-defined selection". The parameters must be set using the editor.

Selecting the units:

Definition of the units for position, speed and acceleration. The scaling is entered using the Exponent syntax.

Definition of directions:

Referred to the motor, the positive direction is clockwise as seen when looking at the motor shaft (A-side bearing plate).

Feed constant:

The path travelled is proportionate to one motor revolution or, when using a gear unit, to the output-side revolution.

Gear ratio:

Ratio of one motor revolution before the gearing to the number of revolutions on the gear output side. The values for the gear ratio are entered in the dialog box as integer fractions.

Position controller resolution:

The single-turn resolution of the position controller can be adapted variably to the application.

A total of 32 bits are available. In the default setting, 20 of the bits are used for the single-turn position.
