6.5: Manual Phasing
6.5.1: Manual Phase Objectives
The CME 2 Manual Phase tool lets the user phase a brushless motor, monitor signals, check
configuration wiring, and control a microstepping current vector.
6.5.2: Manual Phase Instructions, Quad A/B Encoder XTL Xenus
6.5.2.1 Make sure that no load is connected to the motor.
6.5.2.2 On the Main screen, choose ToolsManual Phase to open Manual Phase.
6.5.2.3
Verify the Current setting and then enable the amp by selecting Enable in the Control
area of the Manual Phase window.
To control the current vector rotation, command the motor forward or reverse.
NOTE: Some motors have bearings stiction, so helping the motor with mechanical
force is acceptable. Motors with no friction may need friction added to steady motion.
6.5.2.4 If the motor cannot keep up with the rate of vector rotation, then reduce the Increment
Rate or increase the Current.
6.5.2.5 Verify that pressing forward button moves motor forward. If it does not, toggle the
Motor Invert Output box setting.
6.5.2.6 Verify actual position count agrees with direction of rotation: increasing counts in
forward direction and decreasing counts in reverse direction. If it does not, toggle the
Encoder Invert Input box setting.
