PLCopen 2-Axes Template - FFLD

This template project contains a two-axis template for getting started with a KASClosed Kollmorgen Automation Suite application.

This project contains two axes where Axis 2 is slaved to Axis 1 at a 2:1 ratio.

Control Panel

The template contains a Control Panel which works inside of the IDEClosed Integrated Development Environment - An type of computer software that assists computer programmers in developing software. IDEs normally consist of a source code editor, a compiler and/or interpreter, build-automation tools, and a debugger. when running a project.

It is a useful tool to run and debug programs.

Control Panel Screens

The Control Panel has these screens:

  • Control Panel
  • Fault Report Panel

Control Panel Sections

The Control Panel has these sections:

See Design the HMI with the Internal Editor for more information.

Call out# Description

Allows for enablingClosed Enable signal for the drive, Hardware-Enable with 24V signal to X8, Software-Enable command by setup Software, fieldbus or permanently set. Both are required for enabling the drive. or disablingClosed Removal of the ENABLE signal. Disables power stage. the axes.

After an emergency stop, select the Reset and Enable commands before running the axes.

Displays the actual position for each axis.

Used to set the speedClosed Speed is the absolute value of the velocity without direction..

Start or stop the motion on the condition that the axes are enable.

The green light must be switched on.

Control the axis motion.

Fault Report Panel provides more detailed information about when a drive fault occurs.

HMI

Included in the project template are HMI screens for the AKI terminals created in the KVBClosed Kollmorgen Visual Builder for HMI (Kollmorgen Visualization Builder) environmentClosed Environment objects are global objects that exist before the execution of the script. Typically, they are global objects of Astrolab that can be accessed from the script..

The project can be run in the KVB programming environment after the KAS-IDE program has started running.

Click on the Run button in the Project ribbon to start the program.

These screens, localized in English and German, are included that duplicate the controls on the IDE Internal Control panel screens.

Motion

The template contains two PLCopenClosed A vendor -and product- independent worldwide association active in Industrial Control and aiming at standardizing PLC file formats based on XML. Servo axes where User Units, Update Rate, Rollover Position, and Axis Limits are defined as:

See Axis Data Parameters for more information about PLCopen axis parameters.

PLC Programs

The 2-axes PLCopen template has an FFLD program (called Main) that initializes and starts the motion.
