Revision as of 19:07, 14 August 2013

The Machine tab serves following purposes:

  • Choose axis type (linear/rotary) and its scale
  • Set motor type and properties
  • Set feedback device types and properties

Parameters

Axis mechanics

Short GUI name GUI name Description How to use
AXT Axis type & units Select axis type and real world units used Choose your mechanical axis type here. AXT and AXS affect only the unit conversion of Granity parameters (such as accel/velocity limit unit conversions), no effect on drive operation.
AXS Axis scale Set axis travel per motor revolution Determine how much your axis moves per revolution and enter it here. I.e. if you have selected Linear[mm] as AXT, then calculate and enter how many millimeters axis moves per revolution. AXT and AXS affect only the unit conversion of Granity parameters (such as accel/velocity limit unit conversions), no effect on drive operation.

Motor parameters

Short GUI name GUI name Description How to use
MT Motor type Motor type to be driven Choose your motor type
MCC Continuous current limit Motor continuous current limit (peak value of sine in AC/BLDC modes, not RMS) Use value from your motor data sheet or any lower value to reduce torque. If your AC/BLDC motor phase current is specified as RMS value, then multiply it with 1.41 to get peak value of sine.
MMC Peak current limit Motor peak current limit (peak value of sine in AC/BLDC modes, not RMS). Drive outputs this current to motor for max of 2 second duration and then falls back to the continuous limit (MCC). MCC will be also used if motor temperature modeling (see MTC) indicates maximum temperature.
MR Coil resistance Motor phase-to-phase winding resistance See motor data sheet and enter the value here
ML Coil inductance Motor phase-to-phase winding inductance
MTC Thermal time constant Motor thermal time constant value in seconds, used for thermal modeling of motor to avoid motor overheating with peak current (MMC) Refer to your motor data sheet for correct value. If not available, use formula 300*motor_weight (kg) as approximate.
