Configure The Drive Operation Mode Parameter; Configure The Drive Follower Parameters - Allen-Bradley Ultra1500 Quick Start Manual

Configure the Drive Operation Mode Parameter

Ultra1500 drives can be configured to run in a variety of operational modes. This Building Block requires the
Ultra1500 drives to be configured in Follower mode. In Follower mode, a position command is provided by
external step and direction inputs.
To configure the Ultra1500 drive Operation mode parameter, perform the following steps.
1. Double-click your
Ultra1500 drive.
2. Change the
Operation Modes
(Main/Override)
parameter to
Follower/None.

Configure the Drive Follower Parameters

In addition to configuring the Ultra1500 drives for Follower mode, parameters must also be configured for
the correct Command Type, Controller Output Type and Gear Ratio, otherwise the Pulse Train Output step/
direction signal generated by the MicroLogix 1400 controller may not be interpreted correctly.
To configure the Ultra1500 drive Follower mode parameters, perform the following steps.
1. Expand your Ultra1500 Drive and then Mode Configuration.
2. Double-click Follower.
3. Change the Command
Type to Step/Direction.
4. Change the Controller Output Type to Line Drive.
5. Change the Gear Ratio to 1:109.
6. Press Enter.
Be sure to press Enter after typing the parameter values. Typing the information without pressing Enter
will not actually alter the drive parameter, leaving it unchanged.
