Declari ng labels in the comm and line, before any START code, makes the most effici ent use of the available mem ory. If you then up-load the program to a PC and later down-load the same program the declarations will have been lost.
4. CONTROL OF VIX DRIVES 47 Structure The code example of an absolute posi tioning move shown i n Figure 4-1 demonstrates how to write code that fol lows the block structur e.
VIX IM MICROSTEPPER INDEXER DRIVE USER GUIDE 48 Finally, cal l individual moves from the mai n part of the program : 1MOVE2: ; define progr am label “ move2 ” 1W(PA ,0) ; zero position absolute 1M.
4. CONTROL OF VIX DRIVES 49 LOOP Command The block structure of the code l ends itself to perfor ming repetiti ve operations, using the LOOP command. The comm and can be used to call a parti cular labell ed block of code for either a specifi ed number of tim es or continuously.
VIX IM MICROSTEPPER INDEXER DRIVE USER GUIDE 50 Reserved System Labels Certain pr e-defined label s are recognised by the control ler as containing code used for common operati ons. If event triggered code i s enabled (ARM 1), the code entered for these common operations will be automatically run when the event occurs.
4. CONTROL OF VIX DRIVES 51 The conditions under which the FAULT label is called will vary depending upon the fault itself and the condition of vari ous other commands and com mand parameter s.
VIX IM MICROSTEPPER INDEXER DRIVE USER GUIDE 52 Example The following exam ple shows the use of a FAULT label withi n a program. 1ARM11 ;enable auto-run on power- up & enable fault routine 1SV ;save the settings 1START: ;start of program 1ARM11 ;re-enable auto-run & faul t in case ‘ K ’ command sent .
4. CONTROL OF VIX DRIVES 53 Start Label The system label START: introduces the drive ’ s setup and initi alisation code. W ith ARM enabled the code is automatically executed at system start-up*. Consequently the code needs to be saved with ARM 1X set.
VIX IM MICROSTEPPER INDEXER DRIVE USER GUIDE 54 Use of the LSEL Command You can let user inputs call programmed routines by the use of special label names and associated user input num bers. By including the code you w ish to action, foll owing a pre- defined input label, will enable your code to be run when the defined user input is activated.
4. CONTROL OF VIX DRIVES 55 Upon receipt of a vali d numeric i nput pattern the controller runs the associated routine. For example, binar y pattern 3 causes routine L3 to run. Thi s routine must finish (reach the EN D command) befor e the inputs can be automatically scanned again.

4. CONTROL OF VIX DRIVES 69 Drive Fault Byte Reporting In exactly the same way as the status vari able, the drive faul t status can be reported a byte at a time, using DFn wi thin a read command. User Faults User faults can be caused by pr ogramming errors , such as issuing a GO comm and when the drive is de-energised.
VIX IM MICROSTEPPER INDEXER DRIVE USER GUIDE 70 User Fault Byte Reporting In exactly the same way as the status vari able, the user fault status can be repor ted a byte at a time, using UFn wi thin a read command. For example to r ead or test the first 8 bits (fir st byte) of the UF vari able status word, use UF1.
4. CONTROL OF VIX DRIVES 71 Reporting System Information During Code Development Whilst developing a program using EASI-Tools, it is likely that certain blocks of code when downloaded to the drive will return an *E error code.
VIX IM MICROSTEPPER INDEXER DRIVE USER GUIDE 72 Conditional Code The flow of a motion control program will depend upon the position of the motor in combination wi th the value of particular inputs and comm ands.
4. CONTROL OF VIX DRIVES 73 Conditional Code Example The following code i s a good example of how the conditional IF statem ent can be used for fault diagnosis w ithin the FAULT label .
VIX IM MICROSTEPPER INDEXER DRIVE USER GUIDE 74 Motion Control Using the EASI Command Set Move Types Mechanical movement results from the motion of a motor shaft. By controlling the velocity, acceleration, distance and di rection of the motor, di fferent move profiles can be created for particular applications.
4. CONTROL OF VIX DRIVES 75 Motor Direction & Positiv e Motion A positive dir e ction command usually produces clockw ise (CW) rotati on of the motor shaft when viewed fr om the shaft end*.
VIX IM MICROSTEPPER INDEXER DRIVE USER GUIDE 76 Trapezoi dal Pr ofile A trapezoidal m ove profile resul ts when the defined velocity, you have pr ogrammed, i s attained before the motor shaft has moved half of the specified di stance.
4. CONTROL OF VIX DRIVES 77 Once a valid registr ation mark has been detected the registration m ove is performed using the move parameter s taken from the previ ously defined profi le* (profil e_number in the command param eters). At the end of the regi stration move the user pr ogram GOSUBs to the code immedi ately followi ng the REG label.
VIX IM MICROSTEPPER INDEXER DRIVE USER GUIDE 78 A successful registration will cause the code, following the registration move, to jump to the REG label, fr om which nor mal program operati on can continue. Before you can perform a registrati on move, the followi ng code elements must be in pl ace: 1.
4. CONTROL OF VIX DRIVES 79 Homing The term ‘ hom ing ’ refers to an autom atic return to a mechanical r eference position whi ch is usually performed when the system is first powered up. All subsequent moves will then be relative to this reference positi on.
VIX IM MICROSTEPPER INDEXER DRIVE USER GUIDE 80 Homing Configur ati on Command The command all ows you to define the mechani cal edge of the home switch at w h ich you wish home to be.
4. CONTROL OF VIX DRIVES 81 Go Home Command The go home command ( GH) is used to return to the refer ence home position. Issuing a GH command will cause motion in a direction defined by the HOME configuration command.
VIX IM MICROSTEPPER INDEXER DRIVE USER GUIDE 82 If the negative edge of the home swi tch is selected in the homing configur ation command a simil ar motion path woul d be followed, but finishing on the other si de of the home switch, as shown in Figure 4- 9.
4. CONTROL OF VIX DRIVES 83 Final Direction of Travel Note that no matter wher e motion starts from, that is fr om positive si de of the home switch, in the home switch r egion or from the negative si.
VIX IM MICROSTEPPER INDEXER DRIVE USER GUIDE 84 system will respond as if a limit has been hit in the ‘ normal ’ manner, that is, whi lst not performi ng a homing move.
4. CONTROL OF VIX DRIVES 85 associated flags are cleared. The program will also be aborted if you are already on a limit and you request motion i n a direction whi ch takes you further on to that li mit.
VIX IM MICROSTEPPER INDEXER DRIVE USER GUIDE 86 Limit Switches The drive has two l imit inputs, the positive l imit i nput and the negative lim it input. When wiring the l imit switches it is essenti a l to check that a positive direction comm and produces motion towards the posi tive lim it switch.
4. CONTROL OF VIX DRIVES 87 Using Closed Loop Operation Closed loop r efers to the operation of a stepper motor/drive wher e the position of the stepper motor shaft is m easured and compared with the comm anded position.
VIX IM MICROSTEPPER INDEXER DRIVE USER GUIDE 88 position using the 1R (PA) comm and. Now, rotate the encoder shaft i n the same positive direction by about hal f a turn. Again read the encoder position, whic h should be greater than the first readi ng, indicating that the encoder count is increasi ng for positive m o tion.
4. CONTROL OF VIX DRIVES 89 At the end of the main move the control ler waits unti l the in position time delay and the settle time (i f programm ed) have timed out, at this point the encoder count is r ead.
VIX IM MICROSTEPPER INDEXER DRIVE USER GUIDE 90 Settle Time When Position Maintenance is enabled all moves will track actual position against commanded positi on. Position Maintenance al lows the in-position signal to be held off for a settle-tim e, the value of which can be pr ogrammed i n the command param eters.
4. CONTROL OF VIX DRIVES 91 Stall Detection Stall detection is only possible if an encoder is fitted to the motor or load. A stal l is repor ted when the error between the commanded posi tion and the actual positi on, determined by the encoder, exceeds the value set in the er ror window of the STALL command.
VIX IM MICROSTEPPER INDEXER DRIVE USER GUIDE 92 Scaling Using scale a llows ‘ user-fri endly ’ settings of distance, velocity and acceleration to be defi ned in user units, r ather than units requir ed by the drive.
4. CONTROL OF VIX DRIVES 93 You can use SCALE in combinati on with other com mands such as LOADENC, STALL or POSMAIN. The exact mi x of commands together wi th the source of the feedback, and the type of programm ing steps used are presented in Table 4-9.
