Verifying the Direction of Movement

Definition of Direction of Movement

In the case of a rotary motors, direction of movement is defined in accordance with IEC 61800-7-204: Positive direction is when the motor shaft rotates clockwise as you look at the end of the protruding motor shaft.

It is important to maintain the IEC 61800-7-204 directional standard within your application because many motion-related function blocks, programming conventions, and, safety-related and conventional devices expect this underlying assumption within their logic and operational methodologies.

Warning_Color.gifWARNING

UNINTENDED MOVEMENT CAUSED BY INTERCHANGED MOTOR PHASES

Do not interchange the motor phases.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

If your application requires an inversion of the direction of movement, you can parameterize the direction of movement.

The direction of movement can be verified by starting a movement.

Verifying the Direction of Movement

Power supply has been powered on.

oStart the operating mode Jog. (HMI: (op) → (JOg) → (JGST))

The HMI displays (JG-).

Movement in positive direction:

oPress the navigation button and hold it down.

A movement is made in positive direction.

Movement in negative direction:

oTurn the navigation button until the HMI displays (-JG).

oPress the navigation button and hold it down.

A movement is made in negative direction.

Changing the Direction of Movement

You can invert the direction of movement.

oInversion of direction of movement is off:

Movements are made in positive direction with positive target values.

oInversion of direction of movement is on:

Movements are made in positive direction with negative target values.

The parameter InvertDirOfMove allows you to invert the direction of movement.

Inversion of direction of movement.

0 / Inversion Off / ( oFF): Inversion of direction of movement is off

1 / Inversion On / ( on): Inversion of direction of movement is on

The limit switch which is reached with a movement in positive direction must be connected to the positive limit switch input and vice versa.

Setting can only be modified if power stage is disabled.

Modified settings become effective after the next power cycle.
