General description The ADrivelinK Network Analyser is a simple hand held device that can be connected into any Adata network to convert selected data to an analog equivalent for display on an oscilloscope. It is typically used to display speed, current or speed error in the servo axis under investigation. A number of bit SLM parameters can be selected by the host for output, and these can be scaled over a range of 0 to :. The output is ±0 bit resolution (±0V) which is also adequate for tuning purposes. The host controller selects the parameters and scaling and must write to a Drivelink register cyclically to initiate each data transfer. When used with M'Ax servo drives, the output bandwidth is the same as the network i.e. khz which is more than adequate for servo loop tuning. The host controller can select to use a lower sample rate. The DNA is supplied in a rugged aluminium case 0 x x mm suitable for placing adjacent to the drive axis under investigation, and is connected into the network between the drive and motor. Three cables are supplied with the DNA, one umbilical cable for MultiAx, and a choice of RJ or -way high density D-type for M'Ax. The end of the umbilical connected at the drive has a short tee cable from the connector block so as not to foul other adjacent plugs etc. on the drive.

NOTE The DNA is a silent listener and cannot put data onto the network or interfere with the data packets in any way, The user is assured that the application will be unaffected by the insertion of the DNA. The integrity of the EMC screening of the original field wiring and grounding is retained by routing cable screens and drain wires appropriately, so that the application's EMC performance is unlikely to be affected by the insertion of the DNA. The DNA is provided with power on switch and green LED, and should be connected into a network whilst powered off. For the present release, The outputs are provided as channels of analog +/0V signals and common 0V. Other I/O, status LED and the flash card memory stick are not supported in this version. After power on, in M'Ax standalone mode only, the default output is the incremental position (R register) which is scaled 0- as -V to 0V and will be seen as a ramp if the axis is rotating at constant speed. In host mode, the outputs remain at 0V until the motion controller has set up the data and in writing to the correct DrivelinK register cyclically, as described below. The DNA using data channel output conflicts with the M'Ax encoder simulation output and must not be used with this function.

Installation and set-up WARNING To ensure safety in the event of a drive failure, the DNA unit should be suitably grounded at the terminal provided. Ensure the DNA is grounded and the drive is de-energised before SLM communication cables are plugged in.. MultiAx. Power off drive axis and mount the DNA in a suitable location in the panel.. Connect the ground terminal to a suitable cabinet ground. Unplug the axis SLM cable and connect the umbilical lead in circuit.. Plug in the umbilical to the DNA, power switch off.. Make scope connections to the DNA analog output terminals to an isolated (battery) scope or other so as not to ground the 0V common.. Power up the controller & drive in the normal way and confirm that operation is as normal.. Switch on the DNA; power LED will light.. Program the host controller to write the required parameter address to SLM Pr for analog output and SLM Pr 9 for analog output. e.g. If the speed is to be monitored on analog output, write to SLM Pr 9. Refer to Table. for the monitoring parameters available. Table.

The host controller also must write to DrivelinK Register R (Address 09) at the required sampling rate to enable the T/T communication channel and initiate each data transfer. 0. Default scaling is ±0V = ±. This means that full range of the parameter in SLM will give full range output. For example, ±00% current is ±0V; Whereas ±rated speed is only ±V since the ± range covers ±0rpm for a 000rpm motor.. If other scaling is required, set up the scaling multiplier by writing to SLM Pr (to scale Output ) and Pr (to scale Output ).

The scaling multiplier has the following effect: If Pr / Pr is between 0 to then Multiplier is Pr / Pr This scales over the range 0 to. 9 If Pr / Pr is between 9 to then Multiplier is Pr / Pr This scales over the range 0. to :, with giving default of :. NOTE Using or sets the scaling to zero. This is graphically shown in Figure -. Figure - Scaling Multiplier Scaling Multiplier 0. 0 0 9. *Note that two outputs are exceptions to this scaling. Resolution is bits, so that count is in ^ of a revolution. To use this at DNA output, to show speed ripple, as difference between reference and feedback, set: SLM Pr 9 = 9 Set scaling for x gain: SLM Pr = so that ±9 = ±0V This gives.mv/bit resolution. Ripple_In_Counts = 9 Measured_Ripple_voltage 0 Ripple_In_rpm = Ripple_In_Counts Measured_Ripple_voltage 0.000 x Ripple_In_percent = Ripple_In_rpm Demand_rpm By using the Fourier Transform of the DNA output, the frequency components are identified and frequencies of interest are separated from noise.. M Ax. Power off drive axis and mount the DNA in a suitable location in the panel.. Connect the ground terminal to a suitable cabinet ground.
