V3 User Manual Error Description Range limit The machine has moved beyond the range limit. More details see MTASC-Function MLIMIT in MTasc help file). Limit switch The machine has moved into a hardware limit switch in one or more axis. The corrosponding hardware limit switch (+,-) will be shown in the list. -
Page 13: Adjusting Parameters
V3 User Manual 3.5 Adjusting Parameters For the adjustment of parameters, there is a destinction between driver-parameters and Mtasc parameters. These parameters will be explained in the following subchapters. 3.5.1 Driver Parameters Addresses Addresses The address-pane offers for each axis a field to insert a "Data-output"... -

Page 15: Units
V3 User Manual Units Units Here you can configure the units in which the speed and acceleration will be measured in. There are predefined unit pairs such as "mm and seconds", "cm and seconds" and "m and minutes". You can also define your own unit by pressing "user defined". - Page 16 V3 User Manual Linear axes You have to indicate the following parameters: • pitch. You can find it on the enclosed data sheet or the label plate of the machine. • steps per revolution. This value indicates the number of steps per revolution of the stepper motor.

Output no. 4 is a virtual output, which used by the Mtasc driver. It serves the controlled operation of the physical outputs Nor. 1, 2. Output no. 3 defines the output descriptor for the analoque output port of the PSPCI card. The software integration of the analoque port takes place with the involvement of the IO modul DLL “IoMtasc.dll”. - Page 23 -) with the mask of the extended input. Changes should not be made here! Extended Output In version 3 of the PSPCI you don’t have to configure a extended output port because no outputs are available. Seite - 19...

13 and 14. The inputs defined on these MAP ports reflect the current condition of the physical inputs of the PSPCI card. The six check boxes serve the configuration of the cache, writing and reading direction. -
Page 25: Configuration Of Axis Direction
V3 User Manual 3.6 Configuration of axis direction In this chapter the configuration of the X-, Y- and Z axis direction will be explained. Due to the different constructions and arrangements of the axis on machines and systems, the standard adjustments for the axis direction have to be changed. -
Page 26: Starting Point
V3 User Manual Assignment of axis directions The assignment of the moving axes regarding the operating position is: For flatbed units X-axis = transverse axis (+X to the right; -X to the left) Y-axis = longitudinal axis (+Y away from operator; -Y towards operator) Z-axis = lifting axis (+Z upward;... -
Page 27: Adjusting The Axis- And Reference Directions Of Gantry Units
V3 User Manual 3.6.2 Adjusting the axis- and reference directions of gantry units Follow the instructions for the initiation of the individual axes. X-Axis X-Axis 1) Click on the button „I/O – Actions“ in MtConfig. Deactivate the hardware limit switch of the X axis by removing the check in the first check box of the left. - Page 28 V3 User Manual Now the referencing direction of the axis has to be adjusted. Make sure the axis is not in a limit switch position. To do this you have to go to the adjusting field “referencing”. The hardware limit switches of each axis are fixed and should not be changed by means of the configuration program.

V3 User Manual Now the referencing direction of the axis has to be adjusted. Make sure the axis is not in a limit switch position. To do this you have to go to the adjusting field “referencing”. The hardware limit switches of each axis are fixed and should not be changed by means of the configuration program. -
Page 35: Optimising
V3 User Manual 3.7 Optimising Within the optimising window the parameters for the motor control are indicated and optimised. The axes can be moved separately or coupled within a given travel distance, while the parameters are being adjusted. The monitoring window always opens together with the optimising window. -
Page 36: Further Details For The Optimisation
V3 User Manual 11 A change of the travel range during the moving process affects later because the moving command cache (10) can still contain moving commands. Empty this cache by clicking on "RESET", this way the cache is emptied and the motor control reset. -
Page 37: The Monitor Window
V3 User Manual 3.7.3 The monitor window Within the monitoring window either the target/actual deviations or optionally the speeds of up to two axes are graphically displayed at the same time. The display is two coloured: Green is for movement in positive direction and red for movement in negative direction of the individual axis.
