Hello everyone,
i'm having some problems commanding AS1060 step motor with EL7041 (rev22) drive.
With motor i've also the incremental encoder (05.2420.1230.0200.5009).
I can correctly move the motor in "Position controller" operating mode with the internal counter.
The problems start when i set the Encoder in feedback type or i change the operating mode.
Does anyone have experience with these two terminals and can give me some advice of main parameters to check or change?
Thanks everyone
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
while I don't have firsthand experience with the EL7041 and the step motor AS1060, there are two things you can check:
If you use an external encoder, please make sure you use the alternative device description calles "EL7041 1Ch. Stepper motor output stage (50V, 5A) Rev24 with external Encoder". The SoftMotion driver will set the feedback type automatically, and use the correct object for the actual position (16#6010:21 instead of 16#6010:20)
If you have problems with changing the controller mode, I assume to velocity, please make sure you change the PDO mapping so that the actual velocity (16#6020:33) and set velocity (16#7010:33) are mapped by PDO.
Hope this helps,
Georg
