Specifications for the correct installation of controls

General notes
The staff that effect the installation must be suitabley qualified and competent and must read the
content in this manual before to start with the installation.
It’s recommended to follow that is indicated in this manual for a correct installation; possible
question to make clear can be request at supplier.
The SIPRO S.r.l. accepts no liability for any conseguences resulting for incorrect installation or
inappropriate use of the Numerical Control.
Installations notes
To wire the electric frame that must contain the Numerical Control, conform with the
electromagnetic compability standard and the safety standard in force.
In particular, the safety standard in force impose that the stop circuits by emergency
must be constituted with electromeccanical components and not dipendent by Hardware
or Software.
To avoid the problem that can rise because of coupling between power signal and control signal,
there is the follow adviceds:
• the power cables and the control cables must be separate (min. 20 cm.) and , if necessary they
must cross only with righ angle;
• if possible, the power area (drivers, ecc.) and the control area (Numerical Control Sipro
S.r.l.), must be phisicaly separate with an interrupt of metal base;
• To use opportune noise suppressor (filters, ecc);
• the earth connections must be effect holding separate the earth used for the Numerical
Control and for the drivers logic and the earth for the drivers power.

Danger of damage for incorrect connection

The electronic components of the Numerical Control Sipro S.r.l. are provided of many protection
circuits.
However it’s necessary respect this standard:
• connect the inputs (digital and analog) of controls only with a voltage correspondent at
technical characteristics indicated;
• the load on outputs (digital and analog) must correspond at technical characteristics indicated
and in particular the outputs are not protect by short circuit;
• before a machin test at high voltage (insulation resistance test) it must disconnect the
numerical control to damage no electronic components.

We begin now to analyse in detail the structure of the SIAX.
This chapter looks at the interfacing of the numerical control
with the outside world.
The various input and output connections are looked into.
It includes a detailed and output to simplify connection of the
SIAX explanation of the meaning of each input

Chapter 2: Input and output Installation Guide
Inputs
The inputs are optoinsulated from the electronic control power supply and it is necessary to
supply them with 24 Vdc (PNP type inputs).
All the inputs may be reprogrammed by the PLC or NC.
Some inputs are dedicated to specific axis control functions.

The START, STOP, JOG+ and JOG- inputs have the same function as the [START], [STOP],
[JOG+] and [JOG-] keys on the keyboard, and esactly they are phisically connected in parallel.
If you want use this 4 input for other purpose, you must back off, into the Control, the flat with 5
pins from keyboard.
The inputs 6 and 7 for asis 1, 8 and 9 for axis 2, 10 and 11 for axis 3, 14 and 15 for axis 4, are
predispose to be used as Limit Switch minimum and maximum (normally closed).
Name Input
Maximun LS axis 1 6
Minimum LS axis 1 7
Maximun LS axis 2 8
Minimum LS axis 2 9
Maximun LS axis 3 10
Minimum LS axis 3 11

Minimum LS axis 4 15
The firmware of Control manages in automatic way this inputs, with a emergency state if they are
false, with the relative allarm message and allowing only the contrary manual moviment.
If it’s want manage this input in personally way, it’s necessary to disable this management
by the parameter of Disable of the Limit Switches Input (see chapter Parameters).
It’s possible use the inputs relative at limit switch for the execution of Resetting of Axes, also if
they are disable with the appropriate parameter: it’s used the limit switch of minimum or
maximum, according to setting in the parameter of Reset Direction. The limit switch not used for
the reset operations, can be programmed by user. Instead, if it’s used a reset on the point (Reset
Direction = 2, 3, 4, o 5), there are both limit switches available for the user.
The standard PLC program controls the inputs programmed as follows:
Input Name Activat. Description
1 Start ON Enables execution of Automatic mode, Resetting and, in

general, axis movement.
Pag. 16 M0000465
Installation Guide Chapter 2: Input and output
Input Name Activat. Description
2 Stop ON Stops execution in progress. In Automatic and Resetting,

when the [STOP] key is pressed, the axis stops and waits
for further commands: when [START] is pressed,
execution is resumed from the point where it was
interrupted, when [MENU] is pressed, execution of the
function in progress is interrupted.
3 Jog+ ON Forces the axis forwards during operation in Manual

mode.
4 Jog- ON Forces the axis backwards during operation in Manual

mode.
5 Emergency OFF Must always be ON during normal operation. In case of

emergency, the absence of this input instantaneously
blocks all motion and no operation may be performed
until the cause of the emergency has been eliminated. It is
normally ON and, if it goes OFF, the emergency is
generated.
Indicates the safety limit: when exceeded, all movement
6,7 Maximum / OFF
8,9 Minimum Limit is blocked. Furthermore, during the Zero cycle, these
10 , 11 Switch axes make up the axis zero references (see parameter Zero
14 , 15 Setting Direction).
The Limit switch of each axis can be disabled by a
parameter (see Chap. Parameters) without
generating emergency and can be therefore utilised
for other purposes unless they are used for
resetting.
12 Step enable ON If set to ON, enables the current step to be
executed. Enables the NC to be synchronized with
external controls (e.g. PLC).
13 Access Key ON If set to ON, enables access to the Program editor

(it is normally connected to a key-operated
selector to prevent access to the parameters by
unauthorized persons).
16 Self-Learning ON In Program editor, enables the acquisition of the

position of the axis in the selected step (see the
Self-learning section).

Outputs
The outputs are optoinsulated from the electronic control power supply and it is necessary to
supply them with 24 Vdc. Each exit can take a 100 mA maximum load.
It is advisable to connect a diode in antiparallel on every connected load (relay coil, solenoid
valve, etc.)
N.B.: The outputs may be disabled in an emergency condition (emergency intervention or

forward/backward limit switch), and reactivated after the emergency has been reset (see the
Type of Emergency parameter).
N.B.: All the outputs may be reprogrammed by the PLC using the Binary Variables
described in the “Variables Managed by the PLC” chapter. The AXES ENABLE output
(OUTPUT 1) may be changed (see the Type of Emergency parameter).
The standard PLC program uses the outputs programmed as follows:

Parameters
Parameters are the settings made when the instrument is
installed to control its operation on the basis of the mechanics
on which it is installed.
Once determined, the setting parameters are usually no longer
modified (they are part of the characteristics of the machine)
except following mechanical modifications or variations in
the type of application.
In any case it is always possible to make a change: the last
setting is saved and remains valid until the following change.
It is recommended to store the parameters on a floppy disk
and to keep it with care.

Chapter 3: Parameters Installation Guide
Principal phases for the settings of axes

The operations to effect tha correct setting of an axis are:
– in test, check of correct reading of digital input and of effective forced of the digital output;
– in analog outputs test to enable the axes with voltages at 0V and setting of possible offset
relative at drivers;
– in test, to force to a positive value the analog outputs for check the direction of motor’s
moviment;
– in test, check of correct encoder count (the count must increase according to a positive
voltage on relative analog output);
– adjustment of axes parameters (in particular, reference speed, proportional gain, reference
shift and reference impulses);
– check of the correct manual displacement and test positions in menù semiautomatic;
– execution of a reset cycle.
To a perfect setting of axes you can analyze with a oscilloscope the progress of analog output
interessed.
Otherwise, you can display by the NC program the position error of interested axis, with setting
of VN311 (contains the index of the first VN variable that contains the position error.
Parameters setting
A Password is needed to insert and edit parameters (Menu 5 - Machine Parameters), consisting
in the following numbers: 4 - 5 - 6 - 2 - 5 - 8.
The following will appear:

It is possible to set the values relative to the various parameters of the machine for each axis
(explained in this chapter) by entering the desired value and pressing [ENTER] to confirm.
For the parameters without numerical setting it’s possible show the available values by the key of
[+/-].
The parameters for each axis are divided into two pages.
N.B.: To move inside a page use the [ ] and [ ] key, to go from one page to the next one,
use [PAGE].
The axes do not have to be reset after changing some parameters.

Axes Parameters
There follows a detailed analysis of all the parameters it is possible to act on to obtain perfect
machine operation.
Furthermore, the minimum, maximum and default value each parameter can assume is indicated.
Direct Current Axes
Parameter Description
Axis Name You can customize the name of the axis (by default AX1, AX2, etc.)
DEFAULT: AX n specifying up to 7 characters.
To do this, you must move the cursor to the letter to be changed and select
the desired letter using the alphanumeric keypad. Pressing the arrows [ ]
and [ ] moves the cursor inside of the name. At the end, press [ENTER].
Axis Changes the axis setting from “ACTIVE” to “DISABLED” using the
DEFAULT: ACTIVE [+/-] key. An axis may therefore be disabled.
N.B.: Do not leave the "not valid" setting, which appears twice.
Motor Type Indicates the type of motor of the axis:

DEFAULT: D.C. D.C. = Direct Current motor (in this case the analog output of the CNC
will be –10 ÷ +10Vdc).
On/Off = ON / OFF motor.
Invert = INVERTER motor(in this case the analog output of the CNC will
be 0 ÷ +10Vdc [see page 34]).
COP = Drive piloted from the CNC in CANopen mode.
FREQ = Drive piloted from the CNC in Frequency mode(Step – Dir).
STEP = Drive piloted from the CNC in STEP mode(Step – Dir).
Decimals Number Indicates where the decimal point goes in the position display: in practice
DEFAULT: 2 it is the chosen measurement unit for display.
MINIMUM: 0 1 decimal digit indicates the tenths of a mm, 2 decimal digits indicate the
MAXIMUM: 3 hundredths of a mm, 3 decimal digits indicate the thousandths of a mm.
PLC Decimals Indicates the number of decimal digits used to express the
Number positions of the axes in the PLC variables (from VN260 to
DEFAULT: 0 VN267).
MINIMUM: 0 The maximum number that may be set is the number of decimals of
MAXIM:Decimals the NC.
No.
M0000465 Pag. 21
Reference Speed Indicates the number of impulses per second gathered by the instrument
DEFAULT: 10000 while the motor is turning at maximum speed.
MINIMUM: 0 Bear in mind that, inside the control, the impulses provided by the
MAXIMUM: 9999999 encoder are automatically multiplied by four before they are processed
Expres. in imp. per sec. and therefore the Reference speed is:
(Impulses per second provided by the encoder at maximum speed) × 4
It is possible to get this speed automatically (See Speed Test).
Do not enter values of over 300,000 impulses per second.
When is possible, it’s better to calculate the reference speed on the basis
of motor revolution and number of encoder impulses.
Acceleration Time The time it takes the axis to go from zero to the maximum speed
DEFAULT: 1.000 (intended as the possible speed if the motor was supplied with 10V).
MINIMUM: 0.001 Clearly if movement took place at 50% of the maximum speed, the
MAXIMUM: 99.000 acceleration ramp would be half the set value, because the set value refers
Expressed in seconds to the maximum speed and not movement speed.
Deceleration Time See Acceleration Time.

DEFAULT: 1.200
MINIMO: 0.001
MASSIMO: 99.000
Expressed in seconds
Axis in position The accepted allowance in respect to the objective position within which
DEFAULT: 100 the AXIS IN POSITION is set and the NC carry out the next step.
MINIMUM: 0 In Automatic it controls the positions reached by the axis during the
MAXIMUM: 9999999 various steps.
Expressed in impulses The output remains valid from the moment in which the axis reaches the
objective position minus the Axis in position value, until the moment the
axis departs for the next position.
If Axis in position values are set higher than the smallest foreseen
movements, the output remains active during these movements and it
would not be possible to determine in which position the axis is.
Pag. 22 M0000465
Pursuit Alarm Indicates the maximum accepted difference between the momentary
DEFAULT: 3000 theoretical position and the real position. When it is exceeded the axis is
MINIMUM: 0 blocked and an alarm signal goes off.
MAXIMUM: 9999999 It typically intervenes when there is an encoder signal failure or if the
Expressed in impulses instrument has been incorrectly tared.
When in operation, it also checks that the motor does not exceed the
Pursuit Alarm half, in which case (if the alarm threshold is not reached) a
state of «Pre-alarm» is displayed without blocking operation, indicating
that the axis tare needs to be reviewed.
When set to zero, control is cut out and the alarm does not intervene.
An alarm can be due to the following causes:
the axis is not correctly tared and therefore control cannot pilot the axis
correctly (the values to consider are: the Pursuit Alarm is too small, the
Proportional Gain is too low or the Reference Speed is incorrect);
the encoder is not working properly (check it is working properly with
the Encoder Test);
incorrect drive, therefore the axis is not piloted according to
instructions from the control.
It always remains operative.
M0000465 Pag. 23
Proportional Gain Represents the amplification of the system response to a positioning error:
DEFAULT: 100 when the axis is exactly on the objective quote, the instrument does not
MINIMUM: 0 supply any corrections and therefore the operation output voltage is zero.
MAXIMUM: 32767 If there is an error regarding the theoretical position, the instrument
corrects the position supplying a voltage equal to:
(Error in impulses) × (Proportional Gain)
× 4.8 mV
256
256 and 4.8 are set values inside the instrument.
Example:
Revealed error = 10 impulses
Set gain = 100
Voltage supplied for correction:
10 × 100
× 4.8 mV = 14.4 mV
256
Note that the result of the operation (10 × 100) / 256 is 3 and not 3.9
because the decimals are ignored; therefore the output voltage is 3 × 4.8 =
14.4 and not 3.9 × 4.8 = 18.7.
Correction is always operational, even during movement, and in this case,
the error is determined by the momentary real position in respect to the
theoretical position of that moment.
Therefore, Proportional Gain values that are too low, can cause
considerable differences between the theoretical and actual path and
therefore cause a pursuit alarm.
Values that are too high cause abrupt responses, with characteristic
"vibrations" of the motor during movement and oscillations around the
objective quote with the axis at a standstill.
Tipical values between 80 and 250.
Integral Gain Acts as a support to Proportional Gain when the latter does not manage
DEFAULT: 0 to take the axis to its position in time.
MINIMUM: 0 High values correspond to faster intervention. Values that are too high
MAXIMUM: 32767 cause oscillations around the objective position.
Tipical values between 0 and 3.
Max Intgr. (%) Indicates the percentage contributed by the Integral gain.
DEFAULT: 10 For example, 10%: the integral factor contributes up to 1 volt (10% of 10
MINIMUM: 10 volts).
MAXIMUM: 100 Tipical values between 10 and 50.
Pag. 24 M0000465
Integration Mode If set to 0, indicates that the Integral Gain value set must only be active
DEFAULT: 1 when the axis is stationary and the Derivative Gain does not affect the
MINIMUM: 0 summation of the integral.
MAXIMUM: 3 If set to 1, indicates that the Integral Gain value set must be active during
the entire movement and when the Derivative Gain does not affect the
summation of the integral.
If set to 2, indicates that the Integral Gain value set must only be active
when the axis is stationary and the Derivative Gain affects the summation
of the integral.
If set to 3, indicates that the Integral Gain value set must be active during
the entire movement and when the Derivative Gain affects the summa tion
of the integral.

Derivative Gain The Derivative Gain parameter (Kd), along with the Derivative Sample
DEFAULT: 0 Time (Td), modifies correction of the system according to the error
MINIMUM: 0 variations of the axis position.
MAXIMUM: 32767 The correction is calculated in the following manner:
Kd × (Err(n') - Err(n'-1))

Err(n'-1) is the preceding sample position error (that is the former Td
tick).
tipical values of Derivative Gain between 0 and 2000.
Feed Forward Adds the axis speed value to the PID regulator contribution. Setting this
DEFAULT: 1 parameter to zero, the speed factor does not contribute to axis movement;
MINIMUM: 0 movement is based only on the axis position error.
MAXIMUM: 1 The normal setting is 1 (the Feed Forward used).
M0000465 Pag. 25
Dead Time Represents the time in advance at which the analog voltage is applied to
DEFAULT: 0 the axes. This parameter is necessary, for example, to prevent there being
MINIMUM: 0 too much difference between the theoretical instantaneous position and
MAXIMUM: 10 the real position during the axis starting and stopping phase, due to the
characteristics of the drives and the mechanics of the machine. The correct
value depends on the drive, the motor and the mechanics and must be
measured when the axis is adjusted using an oscilloscope.
Press the [PAGE] key to display and enter the axis parameters
relevant to the second page.
Reference Shift The Reference Shift parameter, together with the Reference Impulses
DEFAULT: 10.00 parameter allows calculation of the ratio between axis movement (in mm
MINIMUM: 1.00 or in degrees) and the corresponding impulses sensed by the encoder; this
MAXIMUM:99999.99 ratio is commonly defined as the "Encoder Ratio".
Expressed in mes. unit After inserting a certain length in the Reference Shift parameter the
number of impulses sensed by the encoder to move the axis by the same
length must be entered in the Reference Impulses parameter. The number
Reference Impulses of impulses may be obtained by means of the Encoder Test (the actual
DEFAULT: 1000 number of impulses is multiplied by 4 to increase the precision of the
MINIMUM: 1 encoder), otherwise, if it is calculated, it must be multiplied by 4.
MAXIMUM: 9999999 Note that the Reference Shift parameter is expressed with a number of
Expressed in impulses decimals equal to the number specified in the Number of Decimals
parameter.
N.B.: The “Encoder ratio” must always be between 4 and 0.005. To
ensure calculating precision, however, we recommend this ratio be kept as
close as possible to 1.
The "Encoder Ratio" is calculated by dividing the value set in the
Reference Shift parameter, considered as if the decimal point were at the
extreme right of the number, (that is 1000.00 is calculated as 100000), by
the value entered under the parameter Reference Impulses.
Example:
For a single axis movement of 1 meter 350000 encoder impulses are
calculated; entering two decimal numbers the following is obtained:
Reference shift 1000.00 mm
Reference impulses 350000 impulses
The resulting "Encoder Ratio" is 100000 / 350000 = 0.2857142 and it is
correct because it is less than 4 and more than 0.005.
The result is roughly to a hundredth of a millimetre considering two
decimal numbers were specified.
Pag. 26 M0000465
Example:
A rotation axis accomplishes one round calculating 5000 impulses;
entering two decimal numbers the following is obtained:
Reference shift 360.00 degrees
The resulting Encoder Ratio is 36000 / 5000 = 7.2 and it is incorrect
because it is more than 4; instead if one decimal number is entered the
following is obtained:
Reference shift 360.0 degrees
The resulting Encoder Ratio is 3600 / 5000 = 0.72 and it is correct; the
result obtained is at about a tenth of degree.
Encoder Direction Reverses the encoder count.

Reverse If set to 0, the count increases.
DEFAULT: 0 If set to 1, the count decreases.
MINIMUM: 0 If set to 2, reverses the analog.

MINIMUM: 0 limit switches generate an emergency.
MAXIMUM: 3 If set to 2, the hardware limit switches generate an emergency, while the
software limit switches generate a STOP.
If set to 3, the hardware limit switches are disabled, while the software
limit switches generate a STOP.
In any case, for zero setting the MAX or MIN Limit Switch is used
according to the set Zero Setting Direction parameter.
The Limit Switch input not used for the zero setting, can therefore
be used by the user and, if the Zero Setting Direction is set at 2, 3,
4 or 5 (on the spot zero setting), both inputs are available to the
user.
Reset Direction Defines the way in which the axis resetting operations are carried out (see
DEFAULT: 0 the Resetting of Axes chapter).
MINIMUM: 0 N.B.: Following variation of this parameter it is absolutely necessary to

Encoder Zero This is the position the axis is considered at when zero setting is carried
DEFAULT: 0 out (normally at zero); that is, when Zero Setting is over, this is the quote
MINIMUM: 0 assigned to the axis.
MAXIMUM: 9999999 Example:
Expressed in maes unit Encoder Zero = 0
.
When the Zero Setting cycle is over, control displays "Position = 0";
therefore, if the next position is at 200 mm, the axis will move by 200
mm.
Encoder Zero = 100
When the zero setting cycle is over control displays "Position = 100";
therefore if the next position is at 200 mm, the axis will move by 100 mm
because, at the moment of Zero Setting, the set quote for that point is
already 100 mm, therefore the axis has to cover just 100 mm and not 200
mm. Positioning at the 100 quote, takes the axis in correspondence with
the Zero Setting point of the axis and positioning at quotes inferior to 100
will take the axis to the backward stop making the machine jam and the
alarm go off.
N.B.: Following variation of this parameter it is absolutely necessary to
repeat the Zero Setting phase before normal operation is resumed. Also
remember to update the Home position.
Important: If the Zero Encoder value is different from the Home position
value, when the axis finishes the zero cycle, it automatically goes to the
Home position.

WARNING
The parameters of the disabled axes must have default values if it’s possibile.
In any case they must never be opposite to the active axes parameters.
In particular this parameters mustn’t be set to zero.
It’s necessary ,for example, pay attention to ENCODERS NUMBER and ANALOG OUT
parameters: avoid to assign the same encoder or analogic out number to more axes even
than if they are disabled.
Example of a bad setting:
axis 2 = enabled and it’s use encoder number 6; its invertion encoder parameter = 1
axis 3 = disabled and it’s use encoder number 6; its invertion encoder parameter = 0
In this example it will be considered the axe number 3 invertion encoder parameter of the
third axis so the counting of enc 6 isn’t inverted.

Resetting of axes
Before launching any program the axes must be reset in order
to get the zero point as a reference for the subsequent
displacements of the axes.
Pag. 40 M0000465
Installation Guide Chapter 4: Resetting of axes
Resetting of axes is a fundamental operation since it allows to determine for each axis the
reference point for their displacements.
It is therefore clear that the access to automatic mode will not be possible (i.e. programs can't be
launched) without having completed this operation as it would not be possible to know at any
time the position of the axes and accordingly to pilot them as desired without a precise reference
point.
To gain access to Resetting of axes function the [1] key from Main Menu should be selected.
The video display is as follows:
AXES RESET
LOC N0 Actual Ovd 100.0 %
AX 1 -0.67 *
Sequence: 1 2 3 4
If [START] is pressed the resetting of axes will start, which can be stopped by [STOP]; if you
want to quit the function without executing the resetting it will be sufficient to press [MENU].
The words "Sequence: 1 2 3 4" mean the order by which the axes are wished to be
reset (axis 1 first, axis 2 second etc.). This sequence can be changed as wished by entering it in
the parameters (see the chapter Parameters).
Resetting of axes can be done in 16 different ways and therefore the correct value in Resetting
direction parameter must be entered in order to choose the method which meets better the needs
(see the chapter Parameters).
For CANopen axes resettings take advice of the manual Sipro M0000519 – M0000553.
With Resetting direction parameter set to 0 when [START] is pressed the zero cycle begins
with the axis going to backward limit stop (with Resetting speed) and this movement can
be seen on the display directly (the present position of the axis varies as the values become
ever more negative). As soon as the backward limit stop is intercepted, the axis changes
direction (speed being halved), searches for the release of the zero microswitch and moves
until the encoder zero mark is reached. This point is taken as zero point. At power on of the
CN the flags of reset axes are not forced.
With Resetting direction parameter set to 1 the zero cycle is executed in the same way but
on forward limit stop.
With Resetting direction parameter set to 2 the zero of the axis is taken the point where the
axis is at the time the control is switched on, without searching the limit stop. At power on
of the CN the flags of reset axes are forced.
With Resetting direction parameter set to 3 the zero of the axis is taken the point where the
axis is at the time the control is switched on, without searching the limit stop and without
taking the encoder zero into account. At power on of the CN the flags of reset axes are
forced..
With Resetting direction parameter set to 4 the axis is considered reset at the point where it
is when the control is powered on, without searching for the limit switch and without
taking into account the encoder zero. At power on of the CN the flags of reset axes are
forced.the resetting and the resetting position is buffered: at power-on the position present
when the machine was powered off is loaded.
With Resetting direction parameter set to 5 the behaviour is identical to case 4.
M0000465 Pag. 41
With Resetting direction parameter set to 6 when you press [START] the zero cycle starts
with the axis moving towards the backward limit switch (at Resetting speed). Once the
limit switch has been intercepted, the axis reverses the direction (at half speed), searches
for the release of the zero microswitch and then stops when it intercepts the zero notch of
the encoder. This point is taken as zero. At power on of the CN the flags of reset axes are
forced.and the resetting position is buffered: at power-on the position present when the
machine was powered off is loaded.
With Resetting direction parameter set to 7 the zero cycle is executed in the same way as
case 6, but on the forward limit switch.
with the axis moving towards the backward limit switch (at Resetting speed). Having
intercepted the backward limit switch, the axis reverses the direction (at half speed),

N.B.: In Reset, the software limit switches are disabled.

In general the Resetting of an axis consists of three phases:
1) Search for zero microswitch (speed = Resetting speed).
2) Reverse movement (speed = Resetting speed /2):
search for release of zero microswitch;
search for zero notch of encoder.
3) Positioning at Home position (speed = Maximum speed).
In each phase, two types of errors may occur:

a) Movement error (example: emergency, stop).
b) Movement command error (usually caused by a position that cannot be reached, often as a
result of software limit switches set too high): the axis does not move.

Obviously, if Override speed is active this option has no effect.
Acting on the keys [JOG+] and [JOG-] the position of the axis can vary and as for the speed, the
effects can be seen on the display directly.
Information are also given on the control mode of the NC (local or remote) by the notice

With a rotation related to a physical progress of the axis there should be an increasing reckoning;
vice versa, with a rotation related to a physical backing there should be a decreasing reckoning (if
reversed, the phases A and B of the relevant encoder must be reverted; see Encoder Reversal
Direction parameter).
The absence of reckoning or only one direction of reckoning indicates an error of connection or a
failure of the encoder or of the input circuit of the instrument. In this case, check that the encoder
is powered to its nominal voltage (the power is supplied by the instrument) and that the phases A
and B reach the connector of the instrument.

column indicates the value of the 16-bit hardware encoder. If the Encoder reversal direction
parameter is set to 1, the count that is reversed is the software count.
The number of the page is given on top right: in case there is more than one page use the key
[PAGE] to scroll them. The pages of the four encoders managed by analog inputs and the four
software encoders will be displayed.
Encoders type available

It’s possible manage the position of a axis according to the impulses comes from a encoder
(push-pull or line driver, 5 or 12 V) or relative at an analog input.
In Test Menù (item 3 of Main Menù) and with the selection of “Test Encoder”, you can see the
options available.
Displayed a page with the normal encoders available, those have number from 1 to 4.
Pag. 48 M0000465
Encoder N. 1 TPU 0 0 80
Encoder N. 2 TPU 0 0
Using the key [PAGE] will appear:
Encoder N. 5 AN_IN 0 0 81
Encoder N. 6 AN_IN 0 0
The encoder with number from 5 to 8 are relative at the analog inputs (respectivement the analog
input from 5 to 8).
If the control has also the absolute encoders, or for further incremental encoders, after the initials
normal encoders are insert the encoder:
Encoder N. 5 GPC 0 0 81
Encoder N. 6 GPC 0 0
The other are in the next pages.

Using again the key [PAGE] will appear:
Encoder N. 9 SOFT 0 0 82
Encoder N.10 SOFT 0 0
The encoder from 9 to 12 are sono software encoders. The firmware supply the wanted impulses.
You can use this type of encoder in simulation phase.
To use the varied type of encrders available, you must set the relative number of encoder selected
in the parameter of Encoder Number relative at axis controlled.
For example, is you want control axis 1 with the analog input 5, you must set the value 5 in the
parameter of Encoder Number relative at axis 1
According to the encoder type that you want use, you must set the other parameters.
In particular, if you want use a encoder managed by analog input, you must set:
• Reference Shift = maximum shift (corrispondent at value 4096 of analog input).
• Reference Impulses = 4096 (value corrispondent at maximum shift).
The other parameters it’s the same for all encoder type.
