1. Short Description Whilst the P8511-000-P with option Analogue-output is specifically designed to provide closed loop (Proportional, Integral, Differential) analogue control of 4 quadrant drives, it also serves the purpose of operating as a 2 or 3 speed controller, as the P8511-000-R. When used as a closed loop controller, it is essential that: - 1.

Datum The Datum value is stored in this Register. The value is used in different ways, in accordance with setting of P8/3. Input St3/8 initiates loading. This Register can be accessed without Security Code. System Register 1 This Register sets the basic operating functions of the unit. Backlash 0 = no backlash compensation 1 = negative backlash comp...

Time position reached During each move the controller gives an output to signal “positioning”. When 'in position' the output is deactivated for the length of this pulse set in R9. Setting 0.0 gives a maintained output. This output St5/14 is inactive when Actual position = Target position +/- Tolerance window R12 Backlash dwell time When the machine stops at the end of the overrun, it is usually desirable to have a short...

Encoder monitoring If after positioning is initiated, no Encoder pulses are sensed after a time set in R19, positioning will be aborted and Fault 01 will be displayed. Setting R19 to 0.0, disables Encoder pulse monitoring. Decimal Point The decimal point is placed in a fixed position and is optional only. It does not change the resolution of the system.

Parameters for Analogue (PID) Control (R50-R58) Speed (input in rpm, referred to Encoder) The maximum speed is set in this Register, in rpm. The speed is monitored by the Encoder speed (1 – 10000 rpm). Should there be gearing between motor and Encoder, this must be considered in the calculation to set R50.
Page 22
Encoder Edge Multiplication 1 = x 1 2 = x 2 4 = x 4 Entry of any other value will automatically select 1 Encoder Resolution (max 10000 pulses/revolution) The Encoder pulses per revolution are entered in this Register. This enables the calculation of speed to be effected.

Speed to “Fixed Position” (in rpm) The Axis will move to the Fixed Position at this speed, irrespective of other settings. Acceleration (deceleration) for move to Fixed Position (in revs/sec2) This is set irrespective of other values. Speed of going to Datum – First phase (in rpm) Speed of going to Datum –...

Inch/mm conversion mode The setting in this register activates the in inch mode, the free factor and the resolution in the inch mode can be selected. R97/6 =00000x 0 = mm operation 1 = inch operation. Resolution 1/100 2 = inch operation. Resolution 1/1000 3 = factor operation.

Offset Adjustment of Closed loop Analogue system When the position controller is connected to the motor drive, it is possible to come “into position” with an error, due to an analogue offset voltage. This error can be compensated for by adjusting the offset potentiometer of the drive (analogue drives).
Setting of Analogue Parameters Initial settings :- 1. Enter Encoder Resolution in R57 (max 10000 ppr) 2. Set Edge Multiplier in R56 3. Set the desired speed in R50 (for programme and single) and R60-63 (for Hand) – max 10000 rpm. The product of Encoder Resolution and rpm should not exceed the maximum input frequency of the controller.
