Pipe Network 2-Axes Template - FFLD

Based on the template, the project can be run using either the:

• KAS Simulator Graphical User Interface.
• Actual drives In electrical engineering, a drive is an electronic device to provide power to a motor or servo. Control device for regulating the speed, torque and position of a motor. A unit controlling a motor using the current and timing in its coils. and motors An actuator focused to a movement, converting electrical energy in a force or torque..
  • In this case, set up the axes first in the EtherCAT Ethernet ofr Control Automation Technology. EtherCAT® is an open, high-performance Ethernet-based fieldbus system. The development goal of EtherCAT is to apply Ethernet to automation applications which require short data update times (also called cycle times) with low communication jitter (for synchronization purposes) and low hardware costs. part).
    See Configuring EtherCAT for more information.

• HMI
• Motion
• PLC Programs

Control Panel

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

Call Out#	Description
	Used to choose how to run the axes between manual () and automatic () modes.
	When you click the emergency button: The machine The complete assembly of all connected parts or devices, of which at least one is movable. state becomes OFF (see call out ). The two axes stop running.
	In manual mode, you can set the speed Speed is the absolute value of the velocity without direction.. You can set an absolute and relative move. When you click those commands, the two axes move to the specified position Position means a point in space which is described by different coordinates. Depending on the used system and transformation it can consist of a maximum of six dimensions (coordinates).This means three Cartesian coordinates in space and coordinates for the orientation. In ACS there can be even more than six coordinates. If the same position is described in different coordinate systems the values of the coordinates are different. and the speed is reset New start of the microprocessor. to 0 (zero).
	In automatic mode, you can set the speed.

HMI

In the project template is an HMI screen for the AKI terminals created in the Kollmorgen Visualization Builder (KVB Kollmorgen Visual Builder for HMI) environment 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 KVB software is a separate installation from the KAS-IDE Kollmorgen Automation Suite - Integrated Development Environment. KVB can be opened from within KAS-IDE 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. by double-clicking on the KVB Project item in the project tree.

The project can be run in the KVB programming environment after the KAS-IDE program has started running. Click the Run button in the Project ribbon to start the program.

A screen duplicates the controls on the IDE Internal Control panel screen.
An English or German screen is available.

Motion

The template has a motion profile defined with the graphical Pipe Network editor.

For more details, see (➜ # 1, Pipe Block Descriptions).

Figure 2: PN Template - Motion

The motion profile contains these different pipe blocks:

• The Master (see call out ) is the generator that allows a synchronization Combines an axis or axes group (as slave) with an axis as master. The slave executes its path with synchronization to the progress of the master. This is linked to a one dimension source for synchronization. between the two pipes ( and ).
• The Gear modifies (with ratio and offset) the flow of values issued from the Master.
• The Convertor controls the position of the axis.
• The Axis gives access to the physical remote drive.

PLC Programs

The 2-axes Pipe Network template has a FFLD program (called Main) that initializes, starts and runs the motion.
