Step 3. Print Reference Files

Print the following 2 files for reference:

“

C:\Program Files\Parker\ACR-MOTIONMAX\Docs\Default Bit Definitions.xls.”

This file is a Complete I/O Bit Map of the ACR-MOTIONMAX System Signal Banks. This file is an
Excel spreadsheet for your reference and is your best resource to understanding how ACR-MOTIONM AX
communicates with the Parker-Acroloop Controller and AcroBasic.
“

C:\Program Files\Parker\ACR-MOTIONMAX\Docs\Parameter_Definitionst.xls

” in the
Parker\ACR-MOTIONMAX\Docs Sub Folder. This file describes the functions of all Parameters in the
Parameters.Cfg file that ACR-MOTIONMAX uses at runtime
Step 4. Load ACR-MOTIONMAX AcroBasic Project Template Files

Copy the 5 AcroBasic Template files

contained in the ACR-MOTIONMAX\AcroBasic sub
folder to C:\Program files\Parker\Acroloop\Acroview\Projects\Default folder. If you already have
code in the AcroView default folder it will be overwritten so back it up in necessary.

Open AcroView and Edit Prog0

Don’t Download to Card when prompted by Acroview yet.
Edit Prog0 @ 6 and configure the Axis Encoder Resolutions and Multipliers
Set the PPU Values (Encoder Resolution) for your application… Units = XXXX Counts per 1” of
travel.
Example: PPU X4000 Y4000 Z4000
Mult X1 Y1 Z1
Step 5. Download Project to Controller Flash.
Download All AcroBasic Programs to the Servo Cards Flash and save it with (No Errors).
Note: to enable error checking … right click in the lower window and select “Logging”. Next
download the file to the card. AcroView writes a log file that resides in the AcroView folder.

Enable your Drives manually and type the following at the Command line:
While watching the Readouts on the Top Upper left of the AcroView Screen.
Repeat for All Attached Axes.
Prog0
X1
The X Axis Motor should move 1 inch positive, and in a direction you consider to be Forward on your
Machine. If it doesn’t the Motor is Out of Phase and the Mult Parameter/Encoder or DAC lines will need to
be changed.

To Change Motor Direction using Parameters:

Set the MULT Parameter to –1 for the Axis Axis0 MULT –1
Reverse the Dac Gain for the Axis Dac0 Gain -3276.8
