12.18.11.1 Monitoring for maximum velocity/speed and maximumacceleration
The velocity/speed of the following drive is limited to a maximum velocity value (MD 280* or
403*-410*)
1)
. With an unfavourable constellation, the following drive may be influenced by the
leading drives such that it would be forced to exceed this maximum velocity in order to
maintain synchronism. However, since this is not possible, the leading and following drives fall
out of synchronism.
In order to identify and eliminate the risk of this type of disturbance in advance, the velocity of
the following drive is monitored by an additional velocity limit value (prewarning limit) in the
LINK ACTIVE state. When this limit is exceeded, the PLC interface signal VELOCITY/SPEED
WARNING THRESHOLD REACHED is set.
The user is thus able to initiate appropriate measures to reduce the velocity via the PLC. As
an example, the velocity of the leading drives can be reduced via the feed or spindle override.
In view of the reaction time, the velocity warning threshold should not be set too high as this
causes de-synchronization between the leading and following drives.
The following diagram shows the velocity monitoring functions which are available for the
following axis. The monitoring characteristics for following spindles are identical.
