How can I generate analog output with reference to actual position in Lexium 32 Drive.

How can we help you today?

In Lexium 32 Drive you can get the analog out when you set parameter IOM1_AQ11_func to Actual Position. Now for the scaling, this output can only be generated if the Axis is chosen as Modulo axis then the scale would be MOD_Min equivalent to 0 Volt and MOD_Max will be 10 Volt.

For example in your application you have a pitch of 10 mm and the total travel distance is 1000 mm so you have a total 100 revolutions of the Motor to reach from position 0 to 1000 mm. Thus set your axis to Modulo axis and you need to set MOD_Min at 0 and MOD_Max would be 131072*100=13107200 (resolution in one revolution X rotation to travel). Then you will get the analog out based on the actual position between 0 mm to 1000mm.

For this to work you should always make sure that the Drive always has a valid position between the physical axis and the post important to use the Hardware Limit Switch to not allow movement beyond permissible limits. Setting the axis in Modulo will lead to disabling the Software Limits.
