Description of force mode
When the readiness to operate is created and the reference
travel has been carried out, a setpoint value must be
specified and the force control must be prepared.
7.1 Specify the setpoint value in % of the rated motor force.
Value range: 30 ... 100 % (values under 30 %
are
rounded up to 30 %).
7.2 Prepare force control Set bit CDI R.B1 COM1 and if
desired set bit CDIR.B5 XLIM for the stroke limitation.
7.3 Start the job with CPOS.B1 START. The start is con
firmed with SPOS.B1 (Acknowledge start) as long as
CPOS.B1 START is set.
7.4 or 7.5
Depending on whether the setpoint value
is reached or
not, the relevant bits in the status will be set.
7.6 The job will be finished automatically when the stroke
limit or software end position is reached. Switching is
made again to position control.
7.7 The task can be discontinued by the controller e.g. with
STOP.
If there are faults during force mode:
see example 3, Tab.5/9 Fault handling
Note
Modification of the setpoint value with force mode is only
possible with a new starting edge when the last specified
position (MC) has been reached.
