WinPC-NC Light Parameter settings
parameters offers the advantage that no calculation inaccuracies can
arise.
The unit is millimeters with decimal places.
Maximum speed
You should use the MOTOR TEST function to ascertain the
maximum speed of each axis. This represents the absolute top limit
speed with which the axis can be moved.
WinPC-NC monitors the speed entries made in all other parameter
windows and always corrects them to the value defined here.
The unit is millimeters with decimal places.
Maximum start/stop speed
The start/stop speed specifies the fastest possible speed with which
the stepper motors can start up without ramps. The value is important
for calculating path control, because braking at sharp edges or
corners does not have to be to a standstill, but only down to this
start/stop speed.
Start/stop speed and ramps
The optimum value can be ascertained with tests, e. g. by the
function MOTOR TEST. Therefore it is necessary to switch off the
ramp and accelerate the speed until step losses are caused. The value,
detected in this way, should be reduced by 30% as a precaution.
Shortest ramp
The ramp parameter specifies the length of the acceleration ramp
until maximum speed is reached, or the deceleration ramp from
maximum speed to stationary, in milliseconds.
Individually
adjustable ramp
length
During each movement, the speed is increased until the maximum
speed is reached. At the end of each motor movement, the speed is
slowly reduced until the motor ramp length comes to a stop.
