Chapter 4 - Configuring Impulse with Application Developer

Stall Detection

Select Stall Detection to enable the Open Loop Stall Detect™ encoderless stall detection feature.

Stall detection becomes active at velocities of 0.5 RPS and greater.

Remember to perform a “Send All” command to send the modified project file to the drive.

I/O Setup

After configuring the Axis Setup parameters, the discrete inputs (4 ea.) and output (1 ea.) will need to be configured for your application. See I/O Descriptions below for details.

• Click on the I/O Setup tool bar button.

Select up to four Discrete Inputs and one Discrete Output from the pulldown menus.

Use the toggle buttons to right of the inputs to select between Active Low (A.L.) and Active High (A.H.).

I/O Descriptions

Input Descriptions

EOT (End of Travel): Activation of an End of Travel input during any motion (external steps or internal move engine) will terminate motion at the rate specified by the Stop Rate parameter, and latch the direction. Motion is only allowed in the direction opposite of the latched EOT direction until a negative edge (activation on to activation off) is made. This guards against the switch activator becoming trapped” if the Stop Rate was insufficient to stop motion in the activation region. The EOT input is also required in the execution of Home type moves. See Stored Move
