DaveE Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Good Morning. I am about to enter the realms of the unknown again. I need to control a kollmorgen drive over Modbus. What I would like to do is use step and direction (I think). I am setting up a X axis Z axis linear traverse for a printing application. X axis My task is to set a home position, accelerate the drive to a position (set in settings), at that position keeping the velocity constant turn on an output, until a input (end of print) comes back from the printer, then accelerate back to the home position. Z axis My task is to go to a home position and stay there until the above end of print input, then move the Z axis up a position, again variable (set in settings) This will occur 6 times, then both Axis should go to the home positions ie bottom left hand corner. Does anyone have a good starting point for me or suggestions (apart from drink) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start by getting one step at a time to work. You can program a sequencer to call the steps once you've got them figured out. Joe T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
