Testing The Axis With The Axis Control Panel - Siemens SIMOTION SCOUT Configuration Manual

Configuring/parameterizing
6.5 Creating and testing an axis
Automatic settings of the engineering system
The engineering system automatically defines the PROFIdrive axis telegrams required for
communication with the drive, as well as the addresses used.
In the same way, telegrams are extended and interconnections automatically created in the
drive, depending on the selected TO technology (e.g. SINAMICS Safety Integrated).
Drive and encoder data, as well as reference variables, maximum variables, torque limits, and
granularity in torque reduction of the SINAMICS S120 are accepted automatically for the
configuration of the SIMOTION technology objects "TO axis" and "TO externalEncoder". This
data no longer has to be entered in SIMOTION.
Loading the axis configuration to the target system
Save and compile the changes and download the axis configuration to the target system in
order to be able to test the function of the axis in the next configuration step.

Testing the axis with the axis control panel

Using the axis control panel you can control and monitor individual axes.
You can perform the following tasks with the axis control panel:
● Test axes before you traverse them via a program.
● Testing as to whether you can move the axis using the axis control panel if a fault is detected.
● Set/remove axis enable.
Requirements
● You have created, configured and connected an axis to the drive.
● SIMOTION SCOUT is in online mode.
● You have loaded the project to the target system.
