Set up a machine
The axis settings a multi-axis machine depends on, as a checklist.
less than a minute
For a machine, this step comes down to the axis settings from step 3. Check each of them before you move on:
| Setting | For a machine |
|---|---|
| Position transformation | Required. Every axis must read its position in rad or m, in the right direction |
| Limiter | Required. Keeps each axis inside its travel, and within its velocity and acceleration |
| Setpoint jump detector | Recommended: stops the machine when a target jumps |
| Position window detector | Strongly recommended: stops the machine before an axis leaves its safe range, so it does not hit itself or anything around it |
| Other window detectors | Optional: tracking error, velocity, acceleration and torque |
Next: Configure the alarm devices.
