8.2.2Configuration when supplied

Controller design concept

When supplied, COMPAX is not configured. Parameter P149 is set to "0": P149="0": COMPAX is not configured and switches to OFF mode when switched

on (24V DC and operating voltage) (motor switched off). In addition to this, when switched on, all parameters (apart from bus settings P194, P195, P196 and P250) are set to their default values.

P149="1": COMPAX is configured and once switched on (24V DC and operating voltage) tries to engage the motor.

If you are configuring using ServoManager, P149 is automatically set to "1" once ServoManager has executed successful configuration.

To operate the COMPAX controller design concept, you must have a basic level of technical control knowledge. COMPAX calculates the internal system and controller parameters required using simple, application-specific values, which are generally accessible.

A strong controller design obviates the need for tedious controller optimization. This configuration provides you with a stable controller.

Power on with motor switched off

If the control process is unstable because COMPAX has been incorrectly configured, you can switch on COMPAX so that the drive remains switched off even with power on. To do this, when switching on COMPAX simultaneously press the "-" key. The following will then happen:

♦the drive is switched off.

♦the digital outputs O1...O6 are set to "0".

♦when the PLC data interface is switched on: O7=1, O8, O11=0

♦the password protected functions are enabled.

Once you have correctly configured COMPAX or you have corrected the relevant parameters, you can engage the drive and outputs again using the command "OUTPUT O0 = 0".

(Function not available with the COMPAX 1000SL)

8.2.3 Configuration process

Switching off the drive

Modifying parameters

Before you configure COMPAX or modify the configuration, the drive must be switched off e.g. using the command OUTPUT O0=1 or 2 (see Page 98).

The COMPAX configuration is carried out using parameters as follows:

♦select operating mode.

♦specify units for the travel data.

♦select motor from the motor list or configure an external motor.

♦select ramp shape.

♦define direction.

♦use the design data to specify the drive type.

♦define the reference system.
