Epsilon EP-I Indexing Drive and FM-2 Indexing Module Reference Manual

Dwell Time

The Index Dwell Time parameter specifies the amount of time the system will wait after the index motion before the index is considered complete.

Index Count

The Index Count parameter specifies how many times the index will repeat itself upon being initiated. There are three different parameters to choose from, Repeat Forever, Repeat Count, and Repeat while Input Function active.

Registration Tab

Registration indexes are highly accurate indexes that travel until either a sensor or torque limit is reached, or until a limit distance is achieved. The user may choose to register to one of two sensors labeled "Registration Sensor 1" and "Registration Sensor 2" or to one of two torque levels labeled "Torque Level 1" and "Torque Level 2". All items on the registration tab are unavailable until the Index Type is changed to "Registration".

Registration Sensor 1 option button

If this input function is assigned to an input in the Input Lines view, this sensor will be used for completing the simple registration move.

Registration Sensor 2 option button

If this input function is assigned to an input in the Input Lines view, this sensor will be used for completing the simple registration move.

Torque Level 1 option button

When selected the index will use a torque level as defined on the Torque view as a registration sensor.

Note

The torque level parameter will not LIMIT the torque produced by the drive.

Torque Level 2 option button

When chosen the index will use a torque level as defined on the Torque view as a registration sensor.

Note

The torque level parameter will not LIMIT the torque produced by the drive.

Calculated Offset option button

When selected the drive will calculate the offset based on the deceleration and velocity specified for the index.

Calculated offset

This parameter gives the calculated distance that the motor will travel after the registration index recognizes a sensor or torque level registration input.

Specified Offset option button

When chosen the drive will use an offset value as specified by the user.

Specified Offset

This parameter is the distance that the motor will travel after the registration index recognizes a sensor or torque level registration input. This parameter may be changed by the user.

Registration Window enable

This check box when selected enables the Registration Sensor valid Window. When active, only registration marks that occur inside the registration window are seen as valid.

Registration Window Start

This parameter defines the start of the Registration Sensor Valid Window relative to the start position of this index. This is an unsigned value and is relative only to starting position of this index. Index direction does not affect this parameter. The Registration Window Start position (or distance) should be less than the Registration Window End position. If a registration sensor is seen outside of this window (not between the WindowStart and WindowEnd positions) then it will be ignored.
