Description

This parameter weights the velocity (see P-CHAN-00802) of the lowering movement (towards the workpiece) This can be useful since the lifting movement is normally highly dynamic in order to avoid an obstacle or elevation quickly.

P-CHAN-00821

Weighting the distance control output values

Description

The parameter weights the cyclic output value of the distance control. This may affect the distance control dynamics. For kp values less than 1.0, the distance control dynamics are reduced; for kp value greater than 1.0, the dynamics are increased.

Parameter

dist_ctrl[i].kp (where i=0)

Data type

REAL64

Data range

0.0 < kp <= 2.0

Dimension

[-]

Default value

1.0

A kp factor less than 1 reduces a possible distance control oscillation and steadies the control in the event of minor distance errors.

P-CHAN-00822

Integral (I) action time of the PID controller

Description

This parameter weights the I component of the PID controller. The integral action time defines the time after which the P and I components of the manipulated variable are equal.

A large integral action time produces greater control stability. The shorter the integration action time, the greater the I component and the faster the control.

Disable the I component by i_tn = 0.

Parameter

dist_ctrl[i].i_tn (where i=0)

Data type

REAL64

Data range

0.0 <= i_tn <= 50.0

Dimension

[s]

Default value

0.0

Remarks

Available as of Build V3.1.3080.12 or V3.1.3107.44

To begin with, it is advisable to select a high initial value for the integral action time setting (e.g. 5) to avoid instability in the control loop. You can then reduce the integral action time step by step to obtain the effect you require. If there are no permanent control deviations, do not use the I component at first.

P-CHAN-00823

Derivative (D) action time of the PID controller

Description

This parameter weights the D component of the PID controller. The derivative action time defines the time after which the P and D components of the manipulated variable are equal. The derivative action time stabilises controller behaviour and reduces oscillations. The larger the derivative action time, the stronger the D component. Disable the D component by d_tv=0.

Parameter

dist_ctrl[i].d_tv (where i=0)

Data type

REAL64

Data range

0.0 <= d_tv <= 2.0

Dimension

[s]

Default value

0.0

Remarks

Available as of Build V3.1.3080.12 or V3.1.3107.44

To begin with, it is advisable to select a low initial value for the derivative action time setting to avoid instability in the control loop (e.g.: 0.01). You can then reduce the derivative action time step by step to obtain the effect you require.

start-up parameters

P-STUP-00175

32-bit compatibility mode for CNC display data

Description

As of CNC Build 2807 and CNC Build 3039.06 and higher, the CNC position controller uses 64-bit integer variables with a finer resolution for command and actual positions. To ensure downward compatibility, this data is downscaled for display data in CNC objects and continue to be supplied as 32-bit values. Conversion can be deactivated by setting the ads_32_bit_comp_mode parameter to the value 0. High-resolution position controller variables are then transferred via CNC objects as 64-bit integer values.

Parameter

ads_32_bit_comp_mode

Data type

BOOLEAN

Data range

0: No conversion; high-resolution 64-bit variable.

1: Downward compatibility, conversion and supply of 32-bit integer variables
