The article begins with the basic module configuration, then shows the process of adding an axis to a project and the basic FB function blocks to support the servo drive.
The article was prepared on the basis of the webinar: https://www.fasupportme.com/portal/en/community/topic/iq-f-simple-motion-modu%C5%82-prostego-sterowania-ruchem-06-05-2020-10-4-2020
There are two versions of the Simple-Motion module for FX5: the 4-axis FX5-40SSC and the 8-axis FX5-80SSC.
Adding a module to the project is made in the [Module Configuration] window by dragging the selected module to the right of the CPU unit.
The basic configuration of the servo drive can be made in the MR Configurator program, which we open by selecting [Parameter] → [Module Information] → [FX5-40SSC] → {Simple Motion Module Setting (Module Extended Parameter]. In this program we have access to all module parameters including speed limits, acceleration ramps, DOG sensor settings and stop functions (STO, SS1, SS2).
In the [Parameter] → [Basic Parameters 1] → [Unit setting] window, by clicking on the "…" icon, you can open the configuration help window, which allows you to easily convert servo parameters.
Module Label
To get to the function blocks and built-in SM module labels, go to the Module tab and find the required element.
It is a tool for reading the available parameters of the Simple-Motion module in real time. It allows you to monitor the status of all axes simultaneously.
