Important: Pay attention to the I/O addresses. You need them later when the position values are monitored.
Monitor Values
- Use the Watch and force tables to monitor values
- Go to Force table
- Click on Monitor Values
- In a free row add the address: “%ID14“ to monitor position value
Important: The value in blue depends on the chosen Telegram (here Telegram 860). Check the manual for more information.
Preset Value
- In a free row add the address: “%QD10” for preset position value
- Add the desired value(Bit 31 is set to “1” for Preset Control)
- Click on Force
Important: The value in blue depends on the chosen Telegram (here given for Telegram 860).
- Save the Preset: Bit 31 is set back to “0” for saving the preset
- Click on Force
- Now the Preset is set to “0”
Now Values in cell 1 and cell 3 are equal. Value from cell 1 was “forced” in cell 3
Preset Value – Explanation
The way of defining the preset value: Preset Control: Bit 31 must be set the to “1” In HEX it is: 16#8000_0000
In BIN it is: 2#1000_0000_0000_0000_0000_0000_0000_0000
We recommend to use the Hexadecimal values. As it is shorter, it is less likely to lead to mistakes.
Important: For more information check “Preset Value” chapter in the manual
Example: Set the Preset to “5”
- In cell 1 preset control is active (31 bit is set to “1” HEX: 16#8000_0000) and the desired value is set: “5”
- Click on Force
- The value is set to 5
- Save the Preset: 31 bit back to “0”
- Click on Force
- The value is set and saved to 5
Monitor the Velocity
- Add the Address for the Velocity : ID18 (ID14 +4) in that case
- When moving the shaft, the velocity is monitored
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I monitor position values?
- To monitor position values, use the Watch and force tables. Add the address %ID14 to monitor position values.
- How do I set and save a Preset value?
- To set and save a Preset value, add the address %QD10 with the desired value. Activate Preset Control by setting Bit 31 to 1.
Click on Force to save the Preset.
- To set and save a Preset value, add the address %QD10 with the desired value. Activate Preset Control by setting Bit 31 to 1.
- How do I monitor the Velocity?
- To monitor the Velocity, add the address ID18 (ID14 + 4) in the configuration. The velocity is monitored when moving the shaft.
