Initial Installation Of Distance-Coded Reference Marks - Siemens SINUMERIK 840C Installation Instructions Manual

10.4.5.1
The following steps must be followed when installing the distance coded reference marks for
the first time:
1. Selecting the measuring system
MD 1808*, bit 4, must be set for distance coded reference point approach.
2. Calculating the maximum permissible velocity for reference point approach
(Creep speed MD 284*)
The velocity used for reference point approach (creep speed) must not exceed a maximum
value. The velocity must be so slow that the time taken to cross the smallest possible refer-
ence mark distance on the scale is always longer than one cycle of the position controller
(PCC).
The smallest possible distance between two adjoining reference marks on the scale is
calculated as follows:
Xmin =
a:
b:
The maximum possible creep speed for the reference point approach is calculated as follows:
Vmax <=
Xmin:
PCC:
A value which is smaller than or equal to Vmax must be entered in MD 284*.
Example:
Calculating the maximum possible velocity for one linear scale with the following data:
Measured length:
Scale division k:
Basic distance a:
Max. servo cycle time (PCC)
Xmin =
Vmax <= Xmin / PCC = 6.96 mm / 8msec = 52.2 m/min
The maximum possible value which can be entered for the creep speed is therefore:
MD 284* (axis) = 50 m/min.
Machine data MD 296* (reference point approach speed) is not evaluated.
