This tab serves following purposes:

  • Running repeating test sequence on motor
  • Capturing reference signal & feedback graphs from drive

Test stimulus generator

Test stimulus as numeric parameters and it's graphical representation

Test stimulus generator is a way to feed a repeating setpoint signal to the drive without having any other physical signals supplied. Test stimulus generates a square waveform with user specified amplitudes and timing.

The waveform generated is specified by 4 parameters:

Short GUI name GUI name Description How to use
TSP1 Target setpoint 1 The first setpoint level Adjust the value and observe the right side value conversion to the real world units such as amperes or millimeters.
TSD1 Delay 1 The active duration of the first setpoint Set the duration of the first setpoint lenght.
TSP2 Target setpoint 2 The second setpoint level Adjust the value and observe the right side value conversion to the real world units such as amperes or millimeters.
TSD2 Delay 2 The active duration of the second setpoint Set the duration of the second setpoint length.
TSE Enable test stimulues Control test stimulus feed Tick this checkbox to instantly start feeding test stimulus to the drive. Before ticking ensure that setpoints are set to safe levels and always be prepared stop motor safely if unexpected motion happens.
Example where
TSD1=0.1s
TSD2=0.5s
TSP1=1000→0.18A
TSP2=-500→-0.09A

Device state

Devices state updates continuously while connected and shows status & fault register bits as well as state of physical I/O lines and setpoint value.
