•Select the Servo menu and set the desired scaling in Gear & Axis Configuration as follows:
Gear ratio:
Gear In - revolutions on the motor shaft, e.g. 5 . (Or 1 if no gearbox is present)
Gear Out - revolutions at the gearbox output shaft, e.g. 1
Set scaling/resolution:
Feed - When the motor makes one revolution at the gearbox output - by how much does the position counter increase?
Example values for "Feed":
360 - if you want to mount a turntable at the gearbox output and specify positions in angular degrees.
100000 - if you use a toothed belt axis with drive roller circumference d=100 mm (e.g. max GmbH MZK 040) and want to work in micrometer coordinates. A RefGo move command G100000 then corresponds to "Move to absolute position 100,000 micrometers / 100mm", a move command G2500 corresponds to "Move to absolute position 2.5mm"
•For drives with absolute position feedback (e.g., MC349_..._AE), or all linear drives (MCFLAT, MCSHORT, ...):
If necessary, reset the zero position - Select the Command menu and enter the following command in RefGo Command:
| REF35 |
("Reference with CiA 402 homing method 35 - Reset zero position") |
