Configuration Parameters Description

Output Modes

There are 4 possible output modes:

oPulse/Direction

oDirection/Pulse

oClockWise/CounterClockWise

oCounterClockWise/ClockWise

The Pulse/Direction mode generates 2 signals on the PTO outputs:

oon output 0: pulse which provides the motor operating speed.

oon output 1: direction which provides the motor rotation direction.

The Direction/Pulse mode generates 2 signals on the PTO outputs:

oon output 0: direction which provides the motor rotation direction.

oon output 1: pulse which provides the motor operating speed.

The following diagram gives an example of a timing diagram in Pulse/Direction mode:

The ClockWise/CounterClockWise mode generates a signal that defines the motor operating speed. This signal is implemented either on the PTO output 0 or on the PTO output 1 depending on the motor rotation direction:

oon output 0: the motor runs in clockwise.

oon output 1: the motor runs in counterclockwise.

The CounterClockWise/ClockWise mode generates a signal that defines the motor operating speed. This signal is implemented either on the PTO output 0 or on the PTO output 1 depending on the motor rotation direction:

oon output 0: the motor runs in counterclockwise.

oon output 1: the motor runs in clockwise.

Acceleration/Deceleration

Parameter

Value

Description

Acc./Dec. Unit

ms

The Acceleration value represents the time to go from 0 to the maximum frequency.

The Deceleration value represents the time to go from the maximum frequency to 0.

Hz/ms

The Acceleration and the Deceleration expressed in Hz/ms.

Acc. max.

Dec. max.

ms

Acc./Dec. which cannot be exceeded by any motion command in the application program.

ms The value specifies the lowest value of Acc./Dec. that can be used.

Hz/ms The value specifies the highest value of Acc./Dec. that can be used.

Dec. Fast stop

ms

Defines the value of Deceleration rate used to stop the PTO signal in case of a detected error:

omotion command detected error

ocommand sequence detected error

ocontroller leaves RUN mode

oDrive Ready input low

This example shows a possible configuration of Acceleration/Deceleration and Frequency parameters:

Parameter

Value

Acc./Dec. Unit

ms

Start Frequency

5000

Maximum Frequency

20000

In your application program, using a PTOMoveVelocity command with an Acceleration of 10000 ms (equivalent to 20 kHz / 10000 ms = 2 Hz/ms) and a target velocity of 10 kHz, the velocity will be reached after (10 kHz-5 kHz) / 2 Hz/ms= 2500 ms.

Frequency

Parameter

Description

Start

Start frequency is the initial frequency value when a motion command begins.

If the Start frequency is null, Start frequency is the lowest calculated frequency with a minimum value of 1Hz.

Stop

Stop frequency is the final frequency value before a motion command stops.

If the Stop frequency is null, Stop frequency is the lowest calculated frequency with a minimum value of 1Hz.

Maximum

Frequency which cannot be exceeded by any command in the application program.

Auxiliary Input

Parameter

Description

AUX

The auxiliary input parameter has 2 possible settings:

Drive Ready  

TRUE = Authorizes the PTO moving commands.

FALSE = An axis detected error is triggered and any move ongoing is aborted by a Fast stop.

The input DIS_AuxInput of the PTOSimple function block can be used to disable the drive ready monitoring.

Origin Indicates the reference point for the PTOHome

AUX Filter

Filtering value reduces the effect of bounce on the auxiliary input.

PROX

Proximate input is used for Home with Positive/ Negative Limit; it indicates the direction of reference point for the PTOHome.

PROX Filter

Filtering value reduces the effect of bounce on the proximate input.

Homing

To program a move to the reference position, the following parameters are mandatory defined during configuration:

Auxiliary Input: Configured as Origin input.

Homing Mode: Defines the homing mode.

Homing Acc.: Acceleration during homing (20 to 65000)

Homing Dec.: Deceleration during homing (20 to 65000)

Software Limit

If the position reach the software Minimum or Maximum limit, PTO motion will stop and report a detected error.
