Networked Indexer/Driver User Manual OTION ONTROL Definitions (continued) Target Position The Target Position is the position that you want the move to end at. There are two ways to define the Target Position, with relative coordinates or absolute coordinates. Relative Coordinates Relative coordinates define the Target Position as an offset from the present position of the motor.

Networked Indexer/Driver User Manual OTION ONTROL A Simple Move As shown in the figure below, a move from A (Current Position) to B (Target Position) consists of several parts. POSITION Figure R3.4 A Trapezoidal Profile 1)The move begins at point A, where the motor jumps from rest to the configured Starting Speed. The motor then accelerates at the programmed Acceleration Value until the speed of the motor reaches the Programmed Speed.
If you perform the same action with Absolute Moves, you would have to calculate your 30° position followed by your 60° position, followed by your 90° position, etc. 20 Gear Drive, Plymouth Ind. Park, Terryville, CT 06786 Tel: (860) 585-1254 Fax: (860) 584-1973 http://www.amci.com...
Current Position. 1) The Home Position of the machine must be set before running an Absolute Move. See the reference section, Homing an AMCI Networked Driver, which starts on page 55, for infor- mation on homing the machine. 2) The Motor Position must be valid before you can use an Absolute Move. The Motor Posi- tion becomes valid when you preset the position or home the machine.
For example, a CW Jog Move can be issued while the CCW limit switch is active. This allows you to move off of an activated end limit switch. 20 Gear Drive, Plymouth Ind. Park, Terryville, CT 06786 Tel: (860) 585-1254 Fax: (860) 584-1973 http://www.amci.com...

The following restrictions apply when program- ming Blend Moves. 1)Each segment of the Blend Move must be written to the Networked Driver before the move can be initiated.
The sign of the target position for the segment determines the direction of motion for that segment. Positive segments will result in clockwise shaft rotation while a negative segment will result in a counter-clock- wise shaft rotation. 20 Gear Drive, Plymouth Ind.

You could accomplish this Dwell Move with a series of six relative moves that are sent down to the Networked Driver sequentially.
With a limit of 10,000 write cycles, the design decision that requires you to cycle power to the Networked Driver was made to prevent an application from damaging the module by continuously writing to it. 20 Gear Drive, Plymouth Ind.

Networked Indexer/Driver User Manual OTION ONTROL Indexed Moves All of the moves that have been explained in the chapter up to this point can be started by a transition on one of the inputs instead of a command from the network. If the Indexed Move bit is set when the command is issued, the Networked Driver will not run the move until the configured input makes an inactive-to-active transition.
A proportional constant is available to control the sharpness of the control. AMCI suggests a value of 1 or 2 when using the motor position to control the loop. AMCI suggests a value between 10 and 50 when using the encoder position to control the loop.
Networked Indexer/Driver User Manual OTION ONTROL Controlling Moves In Progress Each Networked Driver has the ability to place a running move on hold and later resume the move if an error did not occur while the move was in its Hold state. One potential application for this feature is bringing a move to a controlled stop when your controller senses an end-of-stock condition.
This mode is sometimes referred to as encoder following, because the motor will change position in response to a change in position of the encoder. AMCI refers to it as Electronic Gearing because the Networked Driver has three parameters that allow you to set any turns ratio you want between the encoder and the motor.
Networked Indexer/Driver User Manual OTION ONTROL Electronic Gearing (continued) Advanced Ratio Control The ELGearing Multiplier and Divisor values give you a great deal of control over the ratio of motor turns per encoder turn, but you can achieve even finer control by adjusting the Motor_Resolution parameter. The Z pulse is not used to correct the encoder position once per turn, so you can actually program the Motor_Resolution parameter to any value you want within its valid range.

Ground Bus AMCI strongly suggests the use of a ground bus in each system enclosure. The ground bus is simply a metal bar with studs or tapped holes for accepting grounding connections in the enclosure. The ground bus is the only component in the enclosure that is directly connected to your Grounding Electrode System.
Grounding Wires Grounding wires are used to connect the pieces of equipment to your ground bus. AMCI strongly suggests using #8 AWG stranded wire or 1" wire braid for all grounding connections. The American NEC allows the use of solid wire for grounding wires but this should be avoided for the same reasons they should not be used for the Grounding Electrode Conductor.
Grounding problems occur when the grounding system carries currents during normal operation or when it cannot shunt high frequency electrical currents to earth. AMCI generally encounters three types of grounding problems in systems that use AMCI equipment. Ground Loops: A ground loop occurs when AC or DC return currents can travel through the system ground path in addition to their normal return path.
When checking the quality of the AC power for your system, be sure to check every machine that may be powered by the same feeder circuit. It is in AMCI's experience that nuisance faults can be caused by another system on the same feeder circuit that does not have adequate surge suppression devices.
AC output modules on the right side, and medium power I/O in the center. This should help you maximize the spacing of I/O wiring within the enclosure. 20 Gear Drive, Plymouth Ind. Park, Terryville, CT 06786 Tel: (860) 585-1254 Fax: (860) 584-1973 http://www.amci.com...
AC power or if the noise generated on the motor connections is injected into your AC lines. If 230Vac is the only line voltage available in a system that is using the SD17060E2 Drivers, a step down transformer that is rated for a minimum of 800VA must be installed. Consider installing this transformer in the enclosure with the SD17060E2 Networked Driver.
The person responsible for installing the driver should be familiar with the general installation guidelines given in the previous chapter. 1.1 Location AMCI Networked Drivers are suitable for use in industrial environments that meet the following criteria: Only non-conductive pollutants normally exist in the environment, but an occasional temporary con- ductivity caused by condensation is expected.
1.5 Mounting Methods There are two ways to mount an AMCI Networked Driver. The first method is with the #10-32 screws into the side panel of the SD17060E2 or the back panel of the SD31045E2. The second method is by the mounting tabs.

Modbus I/O registers. 6.1 Enable Modbus TCP Protocol The embedded webserver can be used to change the communications protocol used by the SD17060E2 or SD31045E2. This is typically done while setting the IP address. Specifically, follow the steps in section 2.2b, Use the Embedded Web Server, which starts on page 108.
If this is the case, you will define a mapping between your host controller’s addressing scheme and the zero based Modbus TCP addresses when you add the SD17060E2 or SD31045E2 to your host controller. Refer to your host controller’s documentation for information on how to accomplish this.
Table T6.1 Supported Modbus Functions Table T6.1 above lists all of the Modbus functions supported by the Networked Drivers. AMCI supports all of these functions so that you can control the driver as you see fit. However, if you are looking for the easiest way to interface with your unit, then you only need to use the Read/Write Registers function, which is func- tion code 23.
