6.7 Jogging
The "JOG" function is typically used to temporarily move a machine part using local control
commands, e.g. a transport conveyor belt.
Commands "JOG 1" or "JOG 2" switch the motor on and off.
The commands are only active when the converter is in the "Ready for switching on" state.
After switching on, the motor accelerates to the setpoint JOG 1 or setpoint JOG 2. The two
different setpoints can, for example, be assigned to motor clockwise and counter-clockwise
rotation.
In JOG mode, the same ramp-function generator is active as for the ON/OFF1 command.

Conveyor technology control functions

Overview
Conveyors are devices used for movement of materials, products and loads throughout a
manufacturing or distribution facility. Conventionally, the conveyor technology control is
implemented in the PLC controller. By transferring the functionality to the converter, the
conveying process starts via the PLC while stops depending on the sensor(s) wired directly to
the converter. In this case, the materials conveyed can always come to a standstill at the
same point and be transferred or redirected without time or position deviation.
SINAMICS G115D offers flexible and efficient solutions for the conveyor technology
requirements of various horizontal or inclined applications in intralogistics, automotive, and
airport industries.
