C-axis operation

Gantry Operation

The gantry operation function implements the synchronous traversing of two mechanically coupled machine axes via independent axis drives. Only one axis is programmed but both gantry axes traverse as if they were a single axis. Several gantry axis pairs can be generated.

Start-up Support

For easy start-up of the main spindle and asynchronous modules, a start-up software for PC/PG is available. Using this software, the drives can be started up and optimized under menu-guidance. For asynchronous modules, an optimum controller setting is calculated after input of the electrical basic data of the motor.

Parameter Set Switchover

With SIMODRIVE 611 main spindle controls, asynchronous motor modules and digital feed controls, various setting values of the control with up to eight parameter sets are available, such as:

Positioning on external zero mark

Setpoint Smoothing Filter

With the current and speed setpoint filter (low-pass filter or band-stop filter) it is possible to attenuate resonance of the drives. In this way, the control parameters can be optimized for the machine mechanics and full use can be made of the dynamic response of the control-drive system.

Monitoring of Operationally Critical Parameters

During operation, parameters and conditions can be monitored for violation of permissible limits in all drive modules. The parameters and states include:
