X axis y axis loadmeter

Post by ballbearing00 »

I've not completed a system test yet but I have auto tuned my servos and can move them with the centroid control.
Have no action on the loadmeter bars under the x and y. only have these two axis.
Is this a setting in the centroid control or do they not work until a system test has been completed?
Any input greatly appreciated!

You need to set Parameter 57 = 3 (1 for the X axis plus 2 for the Y axis).

Your PLC program needs to have load meter support, ultimately writing to values to SV_METER_1 and SV_METER_2.

Your servo drives need to provide a 0-10VDC or +/-10VDC analog signal to pins 28 and 27 of the Oak axis interface header (the GRN/WHT and ltGRN/BLU wire pair, if you are using a factory-supplied axis interface cable).

You may need to adjust either the scaling in the PLC program, or the analog output gain in your servo drives, so that peak torque corresponds to a 100% load meter display.

Answers to questions like this could be more specific if you were to post a Report; tell us what brand and model servo drives you are using; and tell us whether you are using pre-fabricated factory cables, or using factory flying-lead cables, or making your own cables.

I have cables from centroid for delta asd a2 drives-
cnc pc preloaded with mill software.
Can you tell me how to send A report?
