Auto setup
To determine a number of parameters related to the motor and the connected sensors (encoders/Hall sensors), you must perform an auto setup.
As long as the motor connected to the controller or the sensors for feedback (encoders/Hall sensors) are not changed, auto setup is only to be performed once during initial commissioning.
Parameter determination
Auto setup determines various parameters of the connected motor and of the present sensors by means of multiple test runs and measurement runs. To a certain extent, the type and number of parameters are dependent on the respective motor configuration.
Parameter | All motors independent of the configuration |
---|---|
Motor type (stepper motor or BLDC motor) | ✓ |
Winding resistance | ✓ |
Winding inductance | ✓ |
Interlinking flux | ✓ |
Parameter | Motor without encoder | Motor with encoder and index | Motor with encoder without index |
---|---|---|---|
Encoder resolution | - | ✓ | --- |
Alignment (shifting of the electrical zero to the index) | - | ✓ | --- |
Parameter | Motor without Hall sensor | Motor with Hall sensor |
---|---|---|
Hall transitions | - | ✓ |
Execution
Before performing the auto setup, make certain that you have correctly set the necessary parameters (see Setting the motor data).
