5. The Motion Controller DM500 Operation

5.1

System status

The Motion Controller will have some different status,now we explain the different status:

5.1.1 System Status: Reset

Conditions:
• when e-stop switch is triggered;
• when reset key is pressed;
• Error occured (Hard-limited switch or soft limited switches are triggered.)
At the conditons,the system will shift the status to "Reset",and stop running,to make sure the savety of the
operators and the machines.

5.1.2 System Status:Ready

Conditions:
• The E-stop switch is released and no any errors.the system shift from "RESET" to "READY";
At "Ready" Status the controller can work normally.
5.1.3 System Status: Busy
Conditions:
• When in the Ready status,and select a G-code file and run it,the controller status will shift to "Busy"
status.The machine is processing a G-code file.
5.1.4 System Status: Pause

5.2 The preparation of the controller system
5.2.1 Axis Direction and Pulse equivalent adjustment
5.2.1.1 Axis Direction
When we debug the machine,firstly we must confirm the every axis direction based on right-hand rule in
coordination.If the direction is reverse,you can change the Index No. 390-393 values,change to 1 to 0 or 1 to 0.
5.2.1.2 Pulse equivalent adjustment
The unit of the Pulse equivalent is "p/mm",it means that when the machine run 1mm how many pulses the
controller must send.
For example,if it is 1000p/mm,the machine running 1mm,then the controller should send 1000 pulses.
The Precision: 1/1000mm=0.001mm=1um
When the pulse equivalent is big,the machining precision is high.And pulse equivalent determin the Max.
feed speed,the relationship is:
Max feed speed(mm/min)=(1/pulse equivalent(p/m)) x frequency(p/s) x 60
When the controller Max. frequency is 500Khz,and the pulse equivalent is 1000p/mm,the machine Max.
feed speed is 30m/min.
to Pause the Operation.
