ControlLogix Motion Control
The Logix5550 controller, 1756-M02AE servo module, 1756-M08SE SERCOS interface module, and RSLogix5000 programming software provide integrated motion control support.
The Logix5550 controller contains a high-speed motion task, which executes ladder motion commands and generates position and velocity profile information. The controller sends this profile information to one or more 1756-M02AE servo modules. You can use several Logix5550 controllers in each chassis. Each controller can control up to 16 1756-M02AE servo modules. The 1756-M02AE servo module connects to a servo drive and closes a high-speed position and velocity loop. Each Logix5550 controller can support up to 16 1756-M02AE servo modules. Each 1756-M02AE module can control up to two axes. The 1756-M08SE SERCOS interface module serves as the interface between one ControlLogix processor and 1 to 8 axes operating in either position or velocity mode. The module has a programmable ring Cycle Period of 1ms or 2ms depending on the number of axes and a ring Data Rate of 4 Mbaud. RSLogix5000 programming software provides complete axis configuration and motion programming support.

Application program development The MOTION_INSTRUCTION tag Motion status and configuration parameters Modifying motion configuration parameters Handling motion faults
1-4
Application Program Development

Developing a motion control application program involves the following:
Task Select the master coordinated system time Description Sets one controller as the master controller. Once you complete this step, you can synchronize all the motion modules and Logix5550 controllers in your chassis Adds an axis to your application program Create a program for your motion control application Adds a motion module to your application program Adds additional modules and axes to your application program Completes hookup diagnostics and auto tuning for each axis
Name and Configure an axis Develop a motion application program Add a motion module Assign additional servo modules and axes Run hookup diagnostics and auto tuning
The MOTION_INSTRUCTION Tag

The controller uses the MOTION_INSTRUCTION tag (structure) to store status information during the execution of motion instructions. Every motion instruction has a motion control parameter that requires a MOTION_INSTRUCTION tag to store status information.
The motion control parameter
WARNING
!
Tags used for the motion control parameter of instructions should only be used once. Re-use of the motion control parameter in other instructions can cause unintended operation of the control variables.
1-5
For more information about the MOTION_INSTRUCTION tag, refer to Appendix C - The Motion Control Structures.
Understanding Motion Status and Configuration Parameters

You can read motion status and configuration parameters in your ladder logic program using two methods.
Method Directly accessing the AXIS and MOTION_GROUP structures Using the GSV instruction Example
Axis faults Motion status Servo status Actual position Command position Actual velocity
For more information Refer to Appendix C - The Motion Control Structures

Choose the master message transmit that designates when to send any DF1 master message. Choose from:
Between Station Polls - The master transmits a message before the next station. In Poll Sequence - The master transmits messages only when the station number is encountered in the poll list.
The default is Between Station Polls.
Normal Poll Node Tag

Choose the tag name of the structure that contains the normal poll node list. Use the Tag Browser to select the appropriate tag name.
4-9
The default tag is <none>.
Normal Poll Group Size

Enter the total number of active stations polled from the poll node list. Valid values are 0 to 255; the default value is 0.
Priority Poll Node Tag

Choose the tag name of the structure to store the priority poll node list. Use the Tag Browser to select the appropriate tag name. The default tag is <none>.
Active Station Tag

Choose the tag name of the structure to store the status (active/ non-active) of each node. Use the Tag Browser to select the appropriate tag name. The default tag is <none>.
User Protocol Tab Overview

The Controller Properties dialog displays controller configuration information for the open project and, when online, for the attached controller. The User Protocol tab allows you to configure the controllers serial port for the ASCII protocol.
4-10
Protocol
Choose the ASCII protocol. In future releases, the Unicode protocol will also be supported.
Buffer Size
Enter the maximum size (in bytes) of the data array that you are planning on sending and receiving. Valid values are from 1 to 65536; the default size is 82. When the controller sends out the data, if it detects an array that is larger than this buffer size, a minor fault occurs and the extra data is truncated. When the controller receives data, if it detects data that is larger than the size of the buffer, the extra characters are dropped.
Termination Character 1 and 2

Enter the characters that will be used to define the end of a line. Valid hex range values are from 0 to 255. The default value for Termination Character 1 is $0D, and the default value for Termination Character 2 is $FF. The ARL and ABL instructions use these characters to signal the end of a line. If you do not wish to use these characters, you can either avoid the use of these instructions, or you can define Termination Character
4-11
1 as $FF, where $FF tells the controller not to use any definable termination characters when using the ARL or ABL instructions. If you want to use only one character to signal the end of a line, use Termination Character 1, and define Termination Character 2 as $FF.
Append Character 1 and 2

Enter the characters that are appended to the end of a line. Valid hex range values are from 0 to 255. The default value for Append Character 1 is $0D, and the default value for Append Character 2 is $0A. The AWA instruction appends the specified characters to the end of the messages it sends out. If you do not wish to use these characters, you can either avoid the use of the AWA instruction, or you can define Append Character 1 as $FF, where $FF tells the controller not to append characters when using the AWA instruction. If you want to append only one character, define Termination Character 1 as the desired character, and define Termination Character 2 as 0xFF.
XON/OFF
Check this option to throttle incoming data. For example, when this option is checked and the receive buffer gets to be 80% full, an XOFF (0x13) character is transmitted to tell the sending device to stop sending. When the buffer has been processed so that it is less than 80% full, the XON (0x11) character is sent to tell the device to resume sending. This option is disabled when the Control Line option is configured for Half Duplex.
Echo Mode
Check this option to cause any data received in the ASCII port to be sent right back out to the device that sent it. For example, you could use this option with a dumb terminal that is unable to display what it sends, but can display what is echoed to it. This option is disabled when the Control Line option is configured for Half Duplex.
4-12
Delete Mode
The character received just before the delete character sequence (0x7F) is removed by the serial port driver before it is given to the ladder logic. Choose from:
Ignore - The delete character sequence is treated the same as any other character that is read in. CRT or Printer - The preceding character in the string buffer is removed before being given to the ladder logic. The only difference between CRT and Printer modes is the type of device sending the string to the controller. If Echo mode is disabled, CRT and Printer do exactly the same thing.

Chapter
This chapter describes how to name, configure, and edit your axis properties.
Naming an Axis
Naming an axis adds it to your application. To name an axis: 1. Go to the File pull-down menu, select New Component, and then select Tag.
5-2
2. The New Tag window appears.
Entering Tag Information

A tag allows you to allocate and reference data stored in the controller. A tag can be a simple, single element, or an array, or a structure. There are three types of tags that you can create:
A base tag allows you to create your own internal data storage. An alias tag allows you to assign your own name to an existing tag, structure tag member, or bit. A consumed tag allows you to retrieve data from a tag in another controller.
You must set up only one consumed tag to get data from the same producing tag in another controller. WARNING Setting up more than one consumed tag results in unpredictable controller to controller behavior.
!
Use this dialog to create new tags. The parameters that appear on this dialog depend upon the type of tag you are creating.
5-3
You can create base tags and alias tags while the controller is online or offline, as long as the new tag is verified. You can only create consumed tags while the controller is offline.
Common Parameters
The following parameters appear on the New Tag dialog whether you are creating a base tag, alias tag, or consumed tag.
Name
Enter the name of the tag you want to create.
Description
Enter a description of the tag.
Tag Type
Check the type of tag you are creating:
Base - refers to a normal tag (selected by default) Alias- refers to a tag, which references another tag with the same definition. Special parameters appear on the New Tag dialog that allow you to identify to which base tag the alias refers. Consumed (only available when the controller is offline) - refers to a tag that is produced by another controller whose data you want to use in this controller. Special parameters appear on the New Tag dialog that allow you to identify from where the consumed tag is to come.
Data Type
In the Data Type field you can either enter the type of tag you want to create directly or click on the dotted button to go to the Select Data Type dialog. From this dialog you can select the appropriate data type. Message, Axis, CAM, CAM PROFILES, and PID data types require additional configuration; the Configure button becomes enabled for these data types. Axis, Motion Group, and Message data types can only be used in a controller scope. Also, these three data types do not support arrays. If you are creating an alias tag, the data type definition comes from the base tag, so this field is read-only.

Configuring a Motion Axis
Once you have named your axis in the New Tag window, you must then configure it. You make your configuring options in the Axis Properties screen. These have a series of Tabs that access a specific dialog for configuring the axis. Make the appropriate entries for each of the fields. An asterisk appears on the Tab to indicate changes have been made but not implemented. Press the Apply button at the bottom of each dialog to implement your selections. TIP When you configure your axis, some fields may be unavailable (greyed-out) because of choices you made in the New Tag window.
5-5
1. In the New Tag window, select Configure. The Axis Properties General window appears.
General Tab
Use the General tab to associate a module to the axis and establish the intended use of the axis. When RSLogix 5000 software is online and the controller transitions to hard run, or the servo loop is on (active), then all the attributes on this tab transition to a read only state. When any attribute transitions to a read only state, then any pending attribute changes are reverted.
Axis Configuration
Selects and displays the intended use of the axis:
Feedback Only: if the axis is to be used only to display position information from the feedback interface. This selection minimizes the display of axis properties tabs and parameters. Servo: if the axis is to be used for full servo operation. This selection maximizes the display of axis properties tabs and parameters.
Assigned Motion Group

Selects and displays the Motion Group to which the axis is associated. An axis assigned to a Motion Group appears in the Motion Groups branch of the Controller Organizer, under the selected Motion Group
5-6
sub-branch. Selecting <none> terminates the Motion Group association, and moves the axis to the Ungrouped Axes sub-branch of the Motions Groups branch.
Ellipsis () button
Opens the Motion Group Properties dialog box for the Assigned Motion Group, where you can edit the properties of the Assigned Motion Group. If no Motion Group is assigned to this axis, this button is disabled.
New Group button

Opens the New Tag dialog box, where you can create a new Motion Group tag. This button is enabled only if no Motion Group tag has been created.
Module
Selects and displays the name of the motion module to which the axis is associated. Displays <none> if the axis is not associated with any motion module.
Module Type
This read-only field displays the type of motion module, if any, with which the axis is associated. An axis of the AXIS_SERVO data type can be associated only with 1756-M02AE motion modules. Displays <none> if the axis is not associated with any motion module.
Channel
Selects and displays the 1756-M02AE motion module channel - either 0 or 1 - to which the axis is assigned. Disabled when the axis is not associated with any motion module.

If You have already created a motion group for this axis You want to create a new motion group Then Go to step 13. Go to step 4.
4. Press Apply then select the Group tab to access the Axis Properties Group dialog.
New Group Button

Use the Group tab to associate the axis to a group and modify the group attributes. When RSLogix 5000 software is online, all of the attributes on this tab transition to a read-only state. When an attribute
5-8
transitions to a read-only state, all pending attribute changes are reverted.
Assigned Motion Group

Selects and displays the group with which the current axis is associated.
Axes Assigned
This box lists all of the axes associated with the assigned motion group.
Coarse Rate
Selects the periodic rate at which the motion task executes to compute the servo commanded position, velocity, and accelerations to be sent to the 1756-M02AE modules when executing motion instructions. If the coarse rate is too small, the Logix5550 processor may not have time to execute non-motion related ladder logic. As a general rule, one millisecond per axis is needed by the motion task for the Logix5550 processor to have reasonable execution time. As a result, the configuration sets the lower limit on the coarse rate based on the number of axes in the group. See Appendix A in this manual for more information about calculating the Coarse Update rate.
Servo Update Period

In this field enter the periodic rate at which the 1756-M02AE module closes the servo loop for the axis. Currently it is fixed at 200 s.
General Fault Type

Use this field to select the general fault type mechanism for the motion group. The available selections are:
Non Major Fault - Any faults detected by the motion group do not cause the processor to fault. The application programmer needs to handle the fault in the program. Major Fault - Any faults detected by the motion group cause the processor OK light to go blinking red and the fault routine to be invoked. If the fault routine handles the fault and clears it, then the OK light goes green. If the fault routine does not clear the fault, then the OK light becomes solid red and the processor stops executing the program.
5. Select the New Group button if no groups are defined and you

5-12
that dialog.
Units Tab
Use this tab to determine the units you will use to define your motion axis. When RSLogix 5000 software is online and the controller transitions to hard run, or the servo loop is on (i.e., active), then all the attributes on this tab transition to a read only state. When any attribute transitions to a read only state, then any pending attribute changes are reverted. When multiple workstations connect to the same controller using RSLogix 5000 and invoke the Axis Wizard or Axis Properties dialog, the firmware allows only the first workstation to make any changes to axis attributes. The second workstation switches to a Read Only
5-13
mode, indicated in the title bar, so that you may view the changes from that workstation, but not edit them.
Position Units
User-defined engineering units (rather than feedback counts) used for labeling all motion-related values (e.g., position, velocity, etc.) These position units can be different for each axis. Note: Position Units should be chosen for maximum ease of use in your application. For example, linear axes might use position units of Inches, Meters, or mm whereas rotary axes might use units of Revs or Degrees.
Average Velocity Timebase

Specifies the time (in seconds) to be used for calculating the average velocity of the axis. This value is computed by taking the total distance the axis travels in the amount of time specified, and dividing this value by the timebase. The average velocity timebase value should be large enough to filter out the small changes in velocity that would result in a noisy velocity value, but small enough to track significant changes in axis velocity. A value of 0.25 to 0.50 seconds should work well for most applications.
5-14
Conversion Tab
Use this tab to view the Positioning Mode and configure the Feedback Resolution for an axis, of the tag types AXIS_SERVO, AXIS_SERVO_DRIVE and AXIS_VIRTUAL. When a parameter transitions to a read-only state, any pending changes to parameter values are lost, and the parameter reverts to the most recently saved parameter value. When multiple workstations connect to the same controller using RSLogix 5000 and invoke the Axis Wizard or Axis Properties dialog, the firmware allows only the first workstation to make any changes to axis attributes. The second workstation switches to a Read Only mode, indicated in the title bar, so that you may view the changes from that workstation, but not edit them.
Positioning Mode
This parameter is not editable for an axis of the data type AXIS_CONSUMED. Instead, this value is set in and taken from a
5-15
producing axis in a networked Logix processor. The values that can be passed are:
Linear - provides a maximum total linear travel of 1 billion feedback counts. With this mode, the unwind feature is disabled and you can limit the linear travel distance traveled by the axis by specifying the positive and negative travel limits for the axis. Rotary - enables the rotary unwind capability of the axis. This feature provides infinite position range by unwinding the axis position whenever the axis moves through a complete unwind distance. The number of encoder counts per unwind of the axis is specified by the Position Unwind parameter.
Conversion Constant
Type the number of feedback counts per position unit. This conversion or K constant allows axis position to be displayed, and motion to be programmed, in the position units set in the Units tab. The conversion constant is used to convert axis position units into feedback counts and vice versa. Note: For axes of the type AXIS_SERVO_DRIVE, the label will indicate the number of counts per motor revolution, as set in the Drive Resolution field of the Drive tab.
Position Unwind
This parameter is not editable for an axis of the data type AXIS_CONSUMED. Instead, this value is set in and taken from a producing axis in a networked Logix processor. For a Rotary axis, this value represents the distance (in feedback counts) used to perform automatic electronic unwind. Electronic unwind allows infinite position range for rotary axes by subtracting the unwind distance from both the actual and command position, every time the axis travels the unwind distance. Note: For axes of the type AXIS_SERVO_DRIVE:
when you save an edited Conversion Constant or a Drive Resolution value, a message box appears, asking you if you want the controller to automatically recalculate certain attribute settings. (Refer to Conversion Constant and Drive Resolution Attributes.) the label will indicate the number of counts per motor revolution, as set in the Drive Resolution field of the Drive tab.
5-16
Servo Tab
For an axis of the tag type AXIS_SERVO, configured for Servo operation in the General tab of this dialog box, use this tab to:
configure an external drive configure the drive fault input select up to two axis attributes whose status can be monitored
When a parameter transitions to a read-only state, any pending changes to parameter values are lost, and the parameter reverts to the most recently saved parameter value. When multiple workstations connect to the same controller using RSLogix 5000 and invoke the Axis Wizard or Axis Properties dialog, the firmware allows only the first workstation to make any changes to axis attributes. The second workstation switches to a Read Only mode, indicated in the title bar, so that you may view the changes from that workstation, but not edit them.
5-17
External Drive Configuration

Select the drive type for the servo loop:
Velocity - disables the servo modules internal digital velocity loop. Torque - the servo modules internal digital velocity loop is active, which is the required configuration for interfacing the servo axis to a torque loop servo drive.
Loop Configuration Select the configuration of the servo loop. For this release, only Position Servo is available.
Enable Drive Fault Input

Check this box if you wish to enable the Drive Fault detection. When the drive fault is detected, appropriate action is taken based on the Drive Fault Action specified in the Fault Actions tab of this dialog box.
Drive Fault Input

Open Closed
Real Time Axis Information

Attribute 1/Attribute 2 Select up to two axis attributes whose status will be transmitted along with the actual position data to the Logix processor. The values of the selected attributes can be accessed via the standard GSV or Get Attribute List service. Note: The servo status data update time is precisely the coarse update period.
If a GSV is done to one of these servo status attributes without having selected this attribute via the Drive Info Select attribute, the attribute value will be static and will not reflect the true value in the servo module. For an axis of the tag type AXIS_SERVO, configured for Servo operation in the General tab of this dialog box, use this tab to:
5-18
Homing Tab
Use this tab to configure the attributes related to homing an axis of the type AXIS_SERVO or AXIS_SERVO_DRIVE. When a parameter transitions to a read-only state, any pending changes to parameter values are lost, and the parameter reverts to the most recently saved parameter value. When multiple workstations connect to the same controller using RSLogix 5000 and invoke the Axis Wizard or Axis Properties dialog, the firmware allows only the first workstation to make any changes to axis attributes. The second workstation switches to a Read Only mode, indicated in the title bar, so that you may view the changes from that workstation, but not edit them.
5-19
Mode
Select the homing mode:
Active: In this mode, the desired homing sequence is selected by specifying whether a home limit switch and/or the encoder marker is used for this axis. Active homing sequences always use the trapezoidal velocity profile. Passive: In this mode, homing redefines the absolute position of the axis on the occurrence of a home switch or encoder marker event. Passive homing is most commonly used to calibrate uncontrolled axes, although it can also be used with controlled axes to create a custom homing sequence. Passive homing, for a given home sequence, works similar to the corresponding active homing sequence, except that no motion is commanded; the controller just waits for the switch and marker events to occur. Absolute: (AXIS_SERVO_DRIVE only) In this mode, the absolute homing process establishes the true absolute position of the axis by applying the configured Home Position to the reported position of the absolute feedback device. The only valid Home Sequence for an absolute Homing Mode is immediate.
Position
Type the desired absolute position, in position units, for the axis after the specified homing sequence has been completed. In most cases, this position will be set to zero, although any value within the software travel limits can be used. After the homing sequence is complete, the axis is left in this position. If the Positioning Mode (set in the Conversion tab) of the axis is Linear, then the home position should be within the travel limits, if enabled. If the Positioning Mode is Rotary, then the home position should be less than the unwind distance in position units.
Offset
Type the desired offset (if any) in position units the axis is to move, upon completion of the homing sequence, to reach the home position. In most cases, this value will be zero.
Sequence
Select the event that will cause the Home Position to be set:
5-20
Sequence Type: Immediate Switch Marker Switch-Marker
Description: Sets the Home Position to the present actual position, without motion. Sets the Home Position when axis motion encounters a home limit switch. Sets the Home Position when axis encounters an encoder marker. Sets the Home Position when axis first encounters a home limit switch, then encounters an encoder marker.
Note: See the section Homing Configurations, below, for a detailed description of each combination of homing mode, sequence and direction.
Limit Switch
If a limit switch is used, indicate the normal state of that switch (i.e., before being engaged by the axis during the homing sequence):
Normally Open Normally Closed
Direction
For active homing sequences, except for the Immediate Sequence type, select the desired homing direction: Direction Forward Uni-directional Description The axis jogs in the positive axial direction until a homing event (switch or marker) is encountered, then continues in the same direction until axis motion stops (after decelerating or moving the Offset distance).
5-21
Direction Forward Bi-directional
Description The axis jogs in the positive axial direction until a homing event (switch or marker) is encountered, then reverses direction until motion stops (after decelerating or moving the Offset distance). The axis jogs in the negative axial direction until a homing event (switch or marker) is encountered, then continues in the same direction until axis motion stops (after decelerating or moving the Offset distance). The axis jogs in the negative axial direction until a homing event (switch or marker) is encountered, then reverses direction until motion stops (after decelerating or moving the Offset distance).
Reverse Uni-directional
Reverse Bi-directional
Speed
Type the speed of the jog profile used in the first leg of an active homing sequence. The homing speed specified should be less than the maximum speed and greater than zero.
Return Speed
The speed of the jog profile used in the return leg(s) of an active homing sequence. The home return speed specified should be less than the maximum speed and greater than zero.

Homing Tab
Use this tab to configure the attributes related to homing the axis. When RSLogix 5000 software is online and the controller transitions to hard run or the servo loop is on (active), then all the attributes on this tab transition to a read only state. When any attribute transitions to a read only state, then any pending attribute changes are reverted.
Home Position
Specify the desired absolute position for the axis after the specified homing sequence has been completed. In most cases, this position is set to zero, although any value within the software travel limits can be used. After the homing sequence is complete, the axis is left at this position. If the positioning mode for the axis is Linear, then the home position should be within the travel limits, if enabled. If the positioning mode is Rotary, then the home position should be less than the unwind distance in position units.
5-23
Mode
Select the homing mode. Choose from:
Active - In this mode, the desired homing sequence is selected by specifying whether a home limit switch and/or the encoder marker is used for this axis. Active homing sequences always use the trapezoidal velocity profile. Passive - In this mode, homing redefines the absolute position of the axis on the next occurrence of the encoder marker. Passive homing is most commonly used to calibrate a Position Only axis type to its encoder marker, although it can be used on Servo axis types as well. Passive homing is identical to active homing to an encoder marker sequence type except that no motion is commanded. That is, the controller simply waits for the marker to occur.
Sequence
When the homing mode is Active, select the homing sequence type to specify whether a home limit switch and/or the encoder marker is to be used. Active homing sequences, with the exception of the Immediate type, use trapezoidal jog velocity profiles to move the axis, while monitoring for the homing event to occur. Choose from:
Immediate - When this sequence is performed, the controller immediately assigns the home position to the current axis position. This homing sequence produces no axis motion. Switch - This sequence is useful for multi-turn rotary and linear applications, where there are multiple encoder markers over full axis travel, or when an encoder marker is not available. When using this sequence, the axis moves in the specified homing direction, at the specified homing speed, until the home limit switch is detected. The axis then decelerates to a stop and moves in the opposite direction at the specified home return speed until the home limit switch is cleared. The home position is assigned to the axis position at the moment the limit switch is cleared, and the axis decelerates to a stop. The axis then moves back to the home position at the specified home return speed. The motions for this sequence can be shown as follows:
The accuracy of this homing sequence depends on the time uncertainty in detecting the home limit switch transitions. The position uncertainty of the home position is the product of the
5-24
maximum time for the control to detect the home limit switch and the specified home return speed.
Marker - This sequence is useful for single-turn rotary and linear encoder applications since these have only one encoder marker for full axis travel. Using this sequence, the axis moves in the specified home direction at the specified homing speed until the marker is detected. The home position is assigned to the corresponding axis position.
The accuracy of this homing sequence depends on the time delay in detecting the marker transition. The position uncertainty of the home position is the product of the maximum delay for the control to detect the marker pulse and the specified home speed. The axis behavior for this sequence can be shown as follows:
Switch-Marker - This is the most precise homing sequence. Using this sequence, the axis moves in the specified home direction, at the specified home speed, until the home limit switch is detected. The axis then decelerates to a stop and moves in the opposite direction at the specified home return speed until the home limit switch is cleared. After clearing the home limit switch, the axis continues in the same direction at the home return speed until the first encoder marker is detected. The home position is assigned to the axis position at the moment the marker is detected, and the axis then decelerates to a stop. The axis then moves back to the home position at the home return speed. The axis behavior for this sequence can be shown as follows:
Homing Direction
Select the homing direction: either Positive or Negative. This determines the initial direction of the homing sequence initiated by a Motion Axis Home (MAH) instruction. Positive indicates a forward direction; Negative indicates a reverse direction.
Homing Speed

Hookup Tab
Use this tab to configure and initiate axis hookup and marker test sequences for an axis of the type AXIS_SERVO. When a parameter transitions to a read-only state, any pending changes to parameter values are lost, and the parameter reverts to the most recently saved parameter value. When multiple workstations connect to the same controller using RSLogix 5000 and invoke the Axis Wizard or Axis Properties dialog, the firmware allows only the first workstation to make any changes to axis attributes. The second workstation switches to a Read Only mode, indicated in the title bar, so that you may view the changes from that workstation, but not edit them.
Test Increment
Specifies the amount of distance traversed by the axis when executing the Output & Feedback test. The default value is set to approximately a quarter of a revolution of the motor in position units.
5-27
Feedback Polarity
The polarity of the encoder feedback, this field is automatically set by executing either the Feedback Test or the Output & Feedback Test:
Positive Negative
Note: When properly configured, this setting insures that axis Actual Position value increases when the axis is moved in the user defined positive direction. This bit can be configured automatically using the MRHD and MAHD motion instructions.
WARNING
!
Output Polarity
Positive Negative
Modifying automatically input polarity values by running the Feedback or Output & Feedback Tests can cause a runaway condition.
The polarity of the servo output to the drive, this field is automatically set by executing the Output & Feedback Test:
Note: When properly configured, this setting and the Feedback Polarity setting insure that, when the axis servo loop is closed, it is closed as a negative feedback system and not an unstable positive feedback system. This bit can be configured automatically using the MRHD and MAHD motion instructions.
WARNING
Modifying automatically input polarity values by running the Feedback or Output & Feedback Tests can cause a runaway condition.
5-28
Test Marker
Runs the Marker test, which ensures that the encoder A, B, and Z channels are connected correctly and phased properly for marker detection. When the test is initiated, you must manually move the axis one revolution for the system to detect the marker. If the marker is not detected, check the encoder wiring and try again.
Test Feedback
Runs the Feedback Test, which checks and, if necessary, reconfigures the Feedback Polarity setting. When the test is initiated, you must manually move the axis one revolution for the system to detect the marker. If the marker is not detected, check the encoder wiring and try again.
Test Output & Feedback

Runs the Output & Feedback Test, which checks and, if necessary, reconfigures both the polarity of encoder feedback (the Feedback Polarity setting) and the polarity of the servo output to the drive (the Output Polarity setting), for an axis configured for Servo operation in the General tab of this dialog box. Note: Executing any test operation automatically saves all changes to axis properties.
5-29
Tune Tab
Use this tab to configure and initiate axis tuning sequence for the axis. When RSLogix 5000 software is online and the controller transitions to hard run, or the servo loop is on (active), then all the attributes on this tab transition to a read only state. When any attribute transitions to a read only state, then any pending attribute changes are reverted.
Tuning Travel Limit

Specifies a limit to the excursion of the axis during the tune test. If the servo module determines that the axis is not able to complete the tuning process before exceeding the tuning travel limit, it terminates the tuning profile and reports that this limit was exceeded.
Tuning Speed
Determines the maximum speed for the tune process. This value should be set to the desired maximum operating speed of the motor (in engineering units) prior to running the tune test.
Tuning Direction
The direction of the tuning motion profile. Negative indicates the reverse direction; positive indicates the forward direction.
5-30
Damping Factor
Specifies the dynamic response of the servo axis. The default is set to 0.8. When gains are tuned using a small damping factor, a step response test performed on the axis may generate uncontrolled oscillation. The gains generated using a larger damping factor would produce a system step response that has no overshoot and is stable, but may be sluggish in response to changes.
Tune
Specifies the gains to be determined by the tune process.
Start Tuning
Click on this button to begin the tuning test. If the tuning process completes successfully, then it determines the selected gains and all the attributes on the Dynamics tab. WARNING
This test may cause axis motion with the controller in program mode.

Tune Bandwidth Dialog
Use this dialog to modify the bandwidth determined by the tune process.
Bandwidth
The tune bandwidth is determined by the tune process. The value for the Position Servo Bandwidth represents the unity gain. The unity gain bandwidth is the frequency beyond which the position servo is unable to provide any significant position disturbance correction. Computing gains based on this maximum results in dynamic response in keeping with the current value of the Damping Factor. IMPORTANT Exceeding this value could result in an unstable system.

IMPORTANT
The parameters on this tab can be edited in either of two ways:
edit on this tab by typing your parameter changes and then clicking on OK or Apply to save your edits edit in the Manual Tune dialog: click on the Manual Tune button to open the Manual Tune dialog to this tab and use the spin controls to edit parameter settings. Your changes are saved the moment a spin control changes any parameter value.
Note: The parameters on this tab become read-only and cannot be edited when the controller is online if the controller is set to Hard Run mode, or if a Feedback On condition exists. When RSLogix 5000 is offline, the following parameters can be edited and the program saved to disk using either the Save command or by clicking on the Apply button. You must re-download the edited program to the controller before it can be run.
Maximum Velocity
The steady-state speed of the axis, it is initially set to Tuning Speed by the tuning process. This value is typically set to about 90% of the maximum speed rating of the motor. This provides sufficient head-room for the axis to operate at all times within the speed limitations of the motor. Any change in value, caused by manually changing the spin control, is instantaneously sent to the controller.
Maximum Acceleration
The maximum acceleration rate of the axis, in Position Units/second, it is initially set to about 85% of the measured tuning acceleration rate by the tuning process. If set manually, this value should typically be set to about 85% of the maximum acceleration rate of the axis. This provides sufficient head-room for the axis to operate at all times within the acceleration limits of the drive and motor. Any change in value, caused by manually changing the spin control, is instantaneously sent to the controller.
5-34
Maximum Deceleration
The maximum deceleration rate of the axis, in Position Units/second, it is initially set to about 85% of the measured tuning deceleration rate by the tuning process. If set manually, this value should typically be set to about 85% of the maximum deceleration rate of the axis. This provides sufficient head-room for the axis to operate at all times within the deceleration limits of the drive and motor. Any change in value, caused by manually changing the spin control, is instantaneously sent to the controller.
Program Stop Action

Select how a specific axis will stop when the processor undergoes a mode change, or when an explicit Motion Group Programmed Stop (MGPS) instruction is executed:
Fast Disable: The axis is decelerated to a stop using the current configured value for maximum deceleration. Servo action is maintained until the axis motion has stopped at which time the axis is disabled (i.e., Drive Enable is disabled, and Servo Action is disabled). Fast Shutdown: The axis is decelerated to a stop using the current configured value for maximum deceleration. Once the axis motion is stopped, the axis is placed in the shutdown state (i.e., Drive Enable is disabled, Servo Action is disabled, and the OK contact is opened). To recover from this state, a reset instruction must be executed. Fast Stop: The axis is decelerated to a stop using the current configured value for maximum deceleration. Servo action is maintained after the axis motion has stopped. This mode is useful for gravity or loaded systems, where servo control is needed at all times. Hard Disable: The axis is immediately disabled (i.e. Drive Enable is disabled, Servo Action is disabled, but the OK contact is left closed). Unless the drive is configured to provide some form of dynamic breaking, this results in the axis coasting to a stop. Hard Shutdown: The axis is immediately placed in the shutdown state. Unless the drive is configured to provide some form of dynamic breaking, this results in the axis coasting to a stop. To recover from this state, a reset instruction must be executed.

Gains Tab
Use this tab to perform the following offline functions:

adjust, or tweak gain values that have been automatically set by the tuning process (in the Tune tab of this dialog) manually configure gains for the velocity and position loops
for an axis of the type AXIS_SERVO, which has been configured for Servo operations (set in the General tab of this dialog box), with Position Loop Configuration (set in the Servo tab of this dialog box).
5-36
The drive module uses a nested digital servo control loop consisting of a position loop with proportional, integral and feed-forward gains around an optional digitally synthesized inner velocity loop, as described in the following diagram: IMPORTANT The parameters on this tab can be edited in either of two ways:
Velocity Feedforward
Velocity Feedforward Gain scales the current Command Velocity by the Velocity Feedforward Gain and adds it as an offset to the Velocity Command. Hence, the Velocity Feedforward Gain allows the following error of the servo system to be reduced to nearly zero when running at a constant speed. This is important in applications such as electronic gearing, position camming, and synchronization applications, where it is necessary that the actual axis position not significantly lag behind the commanded position at any time. The optimal value for Velocity Feedforward Gain is 100%, theoretically. In reality, however, the value may need to be tweaked to accommodate velocity loops with non-infinite loop gain and other application considerations.
Acceleration Feedforward
Acceleration Feedforward Gain scales the current Command Acceleration by the Acceleration Feedforward Gain and adds it as an offset to the Servo Output generated by the servo loop. With this done, the servo loops do not need to generate much of a contribution to the Servo Output, hence the Position and/or Velocity Error values are significantly reduced. Hence, when used in conjunction with the
5-37
Velocity Feedforward Gain, the Acceleration Feedforward Gain allows the following error of the servo system during the acceleration and deceleration phases of motion to be reduced to nearly zero. This is important in applications such as electronic gearing, position camming, and synchronization applications, where it is necessary that the actual axis position not significantly lag behind the commanded position at any time. The optimal value for Acceleration Feedforward is 100%, theoretically. In reality, however, the value may need to be tweaked to accommodate velocity loops with non-infinite loop gain and other application considerations. Note: Acceleration Feedforward Gain is not applicable for applications employing velocity loop servo drives. Such systems would require the acceleration feedforward functionality to be located in the drive itself.
Proportional (Position) Gain

Position Error is multiplied by the Position Loop Proportional Gain, or Pos P Gain, to produce a component to the Velocity Command that ultimately attempts to correct for the position error. Too little Pos P Gain results in excessively compliant, or mushy, axis behavior. Too large a Pos P Gain, on the other hand, can result in axis oscillation due to classical servo instability. To set the gain manually, you must first set the appropriate output scaling factor (either the Velocity Scaling factor or Torque Scaling factor) in the Output tab of this dialog. Your selection of External Drive Configuration type either Torque or Velocity in the Servo tab of this dialog will determine which scaling factor you must configure before manually setting gains. If you know the desired loop gain in inches per minute per mil or millimeters per minute per mil, use the following formula to calculate the corresponding P gain: Pos P Gain = 16.667 * Desired Loop Gain (IPM/mil) If you know the desired unity gain bandwidth of the position servo in Hertz, use the following formula to calculate the corresponding P gain: Pos P Gain = Bandwidth (Hertz) / 6.28 The typical value for the Position Proportional Gain is ~100 Sec-1.
5-38
Integral (Position) Gain

The Integral (i.e., summation) of Position Error is multiplied by the Position Loop Integral Gain, or Pos I Gain, to produce a component to the Velocity Command that ultimately attempts to correct for the position error. Pos I Gain improves the steady-state positioning performance of the system. Increasing the integral gain generally increases the ultimate positioning accuracy of the system. Excessive integral gain, however, results in system instability. In certain cases, Pos I Gain control is disabled. One such case is when the servo output to the axis drive is saturated. Continuing integral control behavior in this case would only exacerbate the situation. When the Integrator Hold parameter is set to Enabled, the servo loop automatically disables the integrator during commanded motion. While the Pos I Gain, if employed, is typically established by the automatic servo tuning procedure (in the Tuning tab of this dialog), the Pos I Gain value may also be set manually. Before doing this it must be stressed that the Output Scaling factor for the axis must be established for the drive system. Once this is done, the Pos I Gain can be computed based on the current or computed value for the Pos P Gain using the following formula: Pos I Gain = .025 * 0.001 Sec/mSec * (Pos P Gain)2 Assuming a Pos P Gain value of 100 Sec-1 this results in a Pos I Gain value of 2.5 ~0.1 mSec-1 - Sec-1.
Proportional (Velocity) Gain

Note: This parameter is enabled only for external drives configured for Torque loop operation in the Servo tab of this dialog box. Velocity Error is multiplied by the Velocity Proportional Gain to produce a component to the Servo Output or Torque Command that ultimately attempts to correct for the velocity error, creating a damping effect. Thus, increasing the Velocity Proportional Gain results in smoother motion, enhanced acceleration, reduced overshoot, and greater system stability. However, too much Velocity Proportional Gain leads to high frequency instability and resonance effects. The typical value for the Velocity Proportional Gain is ~250 mSec-1.
5-39
Integral (Velocity) Gain

Note: This parameter is enabled only for external drives configured for Torque loop operation in the Servo tab of this dialog box. At every servo update the current Velocity Error is accumulated in a variable called the Velocity Integral Error. This value is multiplied by the Velocity Integral Gain to produce a component to the Servo Output or Torque Command that attempts to correct for the velocity error. The higher the Vel I Gain value, the faster the axis is driven to the zero Velocity Error condition. Unfortunately, I Gain control is intrinsically unstable. Too much I Gain results in axis oscillation and servo instability. In certain cases, Vel I Gain control is disabled. One such case is when the servo output to the axis drive is saturated. Continuing integral control behavior in this case would only exacerbate the situation. When the Integrator Hold parameter is set to Enabled, the servo loop automatically disables the integrator during commanded motion. Due to the destabilizing nature of Integral Gain, it is recommended that Position Integral Gain and Velocity Integral Gain be considered mutually exclusive. If Integral Gain is needed for the application, use one or the other, but not both. In general, where static positioning accuracy is required, Position Integral Gain is the better choice. The typical value for the Velocity Proportional Gain is ~15 mSec-2.
Integrator Hold
If the Integrator Hold parameter is set to:
Enabled, the servo loop temporarily disables any enabled position or velocity integrators while the command position is changing. This feature is used by point-to-point moves to minimize the integrator wind-up during motion. Disabled, all active position or velocity integrators are always enabled.
Manual Tune...
Click on this button to access the Gains tab of the Manual Tune dialog for online editing. Note: The Manual Tune button is disabled when RSLogix 5000 is in Wizard mode, and when you have not yet saved or applied your offline edits to the above parameters.

Output Tab
Use this dialog for offline configuration of:

scaling values, which are used to generate gains, and the servos low-pass digital output filter
for an axis of the type AXIS_SERVO configured as a Servo drive in the General tab of this dialog.
5-41
IMPORTANT
Velocity Scaling
The Velocity Scaling attribute is used to convert the output of the servo loop into equivalent voltage to an external velocity servo drive. This has the effect of normalizing the units of the servo loop gain parameters so that their values are not affected by variations in feedback resolution, drive scaling, or mechanical gear ratios. The Velocity Scaling value is typically established by servos automatic tuning procedure but these values can be calculated, if necessary, using the following guidelines. If the axis is configured for a velocity external servo drive (in the Servo tab of this dialog), the software velocity loop in the servo module is disabled. In this case the Velocity Scaling value can be calculated by the following formula: Velocity Scaling = 100% / (Speed @ 100%) For example, if this axis is using position units of motor revolutions (revs), and the servo drive is scaled such that with an input of 100% (e.g. 10 Volts) the motor goes 5,000 RPM (or 83.3 RPS), the Velocity Scaling attribute value would be calculated as: Velocity Scaling = 100% / (83.3 RPS) = 1.2% / Revs Per Second
5-42
Torque Scaling
The Torque Scaling attribute is used to convert the acceleration of the servo loop into equivalent % rated torque to the motor. This has the effect of normalizing the units of the servo loops gain parameters so that their values are not affected by variations in feedback resolution, drive scaling, motor and load inertia, and mechanical gear ratios. The Torque Scaling value is typically established by the controllers automatic tuning procedure but the value can be manually calculated, if necessary, using the following guidelines: Torque Scaling = 100% Rated Torque / (Acceleration @ 100% Rated Torque) For example, if this axis is using position units of motor revolutions (revs), with 100% rated torque applied to the motor, if the motor accelerates at a rate of 3000 Revs/Sec2, the Torque Scaling attribute value would be calculated as shown below: Torque Scaling = 100% Rated / (3000 RPS2) = 0.0333% Rated/ Revs Per Second2 Note: If the Torque Scaling value does not reflect the true torque to acceleration characteristic of the system, the gains will also not reflect the true performance of the system.
Enable Filter Bandwidth

Select this to enable the servos low-pass digital output filter. De-select this to disable this filter. Note: During tuning, if the controller detects a high degree of tuning inertia, it enables the Low Pass Output Filter and calculates and sets a value for Low Pass Output Filter Bandwidth.
Filter Bandwidth
With Enable Filter Bandwidth selected, this value sets the bandwidth, in Hertz, of the servos low-pass digital output filter. Use this output filter to filter out high frequency variation of the servo module output to the drive. All output from the servo module greater than the Filter Bandwidth setting will be filtered-out, and not sent to the drive. If the Filter Bandwidth value is set to zero, the low-pass output filter is disabled. The lower the Filter Bandwidth value, the greater the attenuation of these high frequency components of the output signal. Because the low-pass filter adds lag to the servo loop, which pushes the system towards instability, decreasing the Filter Bandwidth value
5-43
usually requires lowering the Position or Velocity Proportional Gain settings to maintain stability. The output filter is particularly useful in high inertia applications where resonance behavior can severely restrict the maximum bandwidth capability of the servo loop.
Manual Tune...
Click on this button to access the Gains tab of the Manual Tune dialog for online editing. Note: The Manual Tune button is disabled when RSLogix 5000 is in Wizard mode, and when you have not yet saved or applied your offline edits to the above parameters.
Limits Tab
Use this tab to make the following offline configurations:

enable and set maximum positive and negative software travel limits, and configure both Position Error Tolerance and Position Lock Tolerance, and set the servo drives Output Limit
5-44
IMPORTANT
Soft Travel Limits

Enables software overtravel checking for an axis when Positioning Mode is set to Linear (in the Conversion tab of this dialog). If an axis is configured for software overtravel limits and if that axis passes beyond these maximum travel limits (positive or negative), a software overtravel fault is issued. The response to this fault is specified by the Soft Overtravel setting (in the Fault Actions tab of this dialog). Software overtravel limits are disabled during the tuning process.
Maximum Positive
Type the maximum positive position to be used for software overtravel checking, in position units. Note: The Maximum Positive limit must always be greater than the Maximum Negative limit.
5-45
Maximum Negative
Type the maximum negative position to be used for software overtravel checking, in position units. Note: The Maximum Negative limit must always be less than the Maximum Positive limit.
Position Error Tolerance

Specifies how much position error the servo will tolerate before issuing a position error fault. This value is interpreted as a +/quantity. For example, setting Position Error Tolerance to 0.75 position units means that a position error fault will be generated whenever the position error of the axis is greater than 0.75 or less than -0.75 position units, as shown here: Note: This value is set to twice the following error at maximum speed based on the measured response of the axis, during the autotuning process. In most applications, this value provides reasonable protection in case of an axis fault or stall condition without nuisance faults during normal operation. If you need to change the calculated position error tolerance value, the recommended setting is 150% to 200% of the position error while the axis is running at its maximum speed.
Position Lock Tolerance

Specifies the maximum position error the servo module will accept in order to indicate the Position Lock status bit is set. This is useful in determining when the desired end position is reached for position moves. This value is interpreted as a +/- quantity. For example, specifying a lock tolerance of 0.01 provides a minimum positioning accuracy of +/- 0.01 position units, as shown here:
Output Limit
Provides a method of limiting the maximum servo output voltage of a physical axis to a specified level. The servo output for the axis as a function of position servo error, both with and without servo output limiting, is shown below. The servo output limit may be used as a software current or torque limit if you are using a servo drive in torque loop mode. The percentage of the drives maximum current that the servo controller will ever command is equal to the specified servo output limit. For
5-46
example, if the drive is capable of 30 Amps of current for a 10 Volt input, setting the servo output limit to 5V limits the maximum drive current to 15 Amps. The servo output limit may also be used if the drive cannot accept the full 10 Volt range of the servo output. In this case, the servo output limit value effectively limits the maximum command sent to the amplifier. For example, if the drive can only accept command signals up to 7.5 Volts, set the servo output limit value to 7.5 volts.
Manual Tune...
Offset Tab
5-47
Use this tab to make offline adjustments to the following Servo Output values:
Friction Compensation Velocity Offset Torque Offset Output Offset
IMPORTANT
Friction Compensation
The percentage of output level added to a positive current Servo Output value, or subtracted from a negative current Servo Output value, for the purpose of moving an axis that is stuck in place due to static friction. It is not unusual for an axis to have enough static friction called sticktion that, even with a significant position error, the axis refuses to budge. Friction Compensation is used to break
5-48
sticktion in the presence of a non-zero position error. This is done by adding, or subtracting, a percentage output level), called Friction Compensation to the Servo Output value. The Friction Compensation value should be just less than the value that would break the sticktion A larger value will cause the axis to dither, i.e. move rapidly back and forth about the commanded position.
Velocity Offset
Provides a dynamic velocity correction to the output of the position servo loop, in position units per second. Because the position servo loop output value is updated synchronously every Coarse Update Period, the Velocity Offset can be tied into custom outer control loop algorithms using Function Block programming.
Torque Offset
Provides a dynamic torque command correction to the output of the velocity servo loop, as a percentage of velocity servo loop output. Because velocity servo loop output is updated synchronously every Coarse Update Period, the Torque Offset can be tied into custom outer control loop algorithms using Function Block programming.
Output Offset
Corrects the problem of axis drift, by adding a fixed voltage value (not to exceed 10 Volts) to the Servo Output value. Input a value to achieve near zero drive velocity when the uncompensated Servo Output value is zero. When interfacing an external Servo Drive especially for velocity servo drives, it is necessary to compensate for the effect of drive offset. Cumulative offsets of the servo modules DAC output and the Servo Drive Input result in a situation where a zero commanded Servo Output value causes the axis to drift. If the drift is excessive, it can play havoc on the Hookup Diagnostic and Tuning procedures, as well as result in a steady-state non-zero position error when the servo loop is closed.

Fault Actions Tab
Use this tab to specify the actions that will be taken in response to the following faults:
Drive Fault Feedback Noise Fault Feedback Loss Fault Position Error Fault Soft Overtravel Fault
for an axis of the type AXIS_SERVO.

5-50
When a parameter transitions to a read-only state, any pending changes to parameter values are lost, and the parameter reverts to the most recently saved parameter value. When multiple workstations connect to the same controller using RSLogix 5000 and invoke the Axis Wizard or Axis Properties dialog, the firmware allows only the first workstation to make any changes to axis attributes. The second workstation switches to a Read Only mode, indicated in the title bar, so that you may view the changes from that workstation, but not edit them. Select one of the following fault actions for each fault type:
Shutdown - If a fault action is set to Shutdown, then when the associated fault occurs, axis servo action is immediately disabled, the servo amplifier output is zeroed, and the appropriate drive enable output is deactivated. Furthermore, this fault action opens the OK contact associated with the servo module which can be used to open the E-stop string to the drive power supply. Shutdown is the most severe action to a fault and it is usually reserved for faults that could endanger the machine or the operator if power is not removed as quickly and completely as possible. Disable Drive - If a fault action is set to Disable Drive, then when the associated fault occurs, axis servo action is immediately disabled, the servo amplifier output is zeroed, and the appropriate drive enable output is deactivated. Stop Motion - If a fault action is set to Stop Motion, then when the associated fault occurs, the axis immediately starts decelerating the axis command position to a stop at the configured Maximum Deceleration Rate without disabling servo action or the servo modules Drive Enable output. This is the gentlest stopping mechanism in response to a fault. It is usually used for less severe faults. After the stop command fault action has stopped the axis, no further motion can be generated until the fault is first cleared. Status Only - If a fault action is set to Status Only, then when the associated fault occurs, no action is taken. The application program must handle any motion faults. In general, this setting should only be used in applications where the standard fault actions are not appropriate.

Assigning Additional Motion Axes
You can assign additional axes by repeating the preceding sections. To name and assign another axis, refer to the Naming an Axis section. You can assign up to 16 1756-M02AE modules to each Logix5550 controller. Each module uses a maximum of two axes.
Developing a Motion Application Program
To write a motion application program, you can insert motion instructions directly into the ladder diagram application program. The motion instruction set consists of five groups of motion instructions:
Motion state instructions Motion move instructions Motion group instructions Motion event instructions Motion configuration instructions
For more information about these instructions, refer to the Logix5550 Controller Motion Instruction Set Reference Manual publication 1756-6.4.3.

Understanding Coarse Update Period Calculations

2* Baseline task time
To calculate the coarse update period for the number axes in your application, you can use the following formula:
(Actions for axis 1)
(Actions for axis 2)
....
(Actions for axis n)
Coarse Update Period
The result of the above calculation must be divided by 1000 rounded up to the nearest milliseconds. You can use the sample calculation worksheet in this section to determine your coarse update period. To determine the values for your equation, refer to the following table. The coarse update period can have a significant bearing on the quality of motion control for a given application. If an application requires commanded acceleration or deceleration times that are comparable to the coarse update period, significant velocity and position overshoot can occur as the axis attempts to follow the command profile. The amount of velocity overshoot can be calculated as the product of the acceleration or deceleration rate and the coarse update period. As a general rule of thumb the acceleration and deceleration times for a motion application should be at least 10 times the coarse update period to avoid significant velocity or position overshoot. For example, an application that requires an axis to accelerate and decelerate to full speed in 100 milliseconds is best handled by choosing a coarse update period of 10 milliseconds or shorter. Be sure to check what the minimum coarse update period is for the associated controller before selecting the coarse update period. The minimum coarse update period can be determined based on the number of axes and the worst case motion activity according to the execution time tables provided.
Understanding Action Timing

Every action performed by an axis requires an amount of motion task time. For example to perform a trapezoidal move requires 310 s.
A-4
The following table shows execution times for common motion actions.
State/Action ( = per axis) Typical Execution Time (in s) 190 205 175 900* 40 310 435 210 340 290 105 125 110 495 550 295 380 260 320

* The task time of a consumed axis can be lowered to approximately 650 s by using a consumer coarse update period that is an integer multiple of the producer coarse update period. The value of 900 s reported above is the worst case (producer/consumer update ratio = 2/3). Using 2/4 would yield ~ 650s.

Output Cam Timing For 1756 Controller
The impact on the coarse update period is primarily dependent on three factors:
total number of output cam array entries total number of output compensation array entries number of outputs compensation array entries with non-zero latch/unlatch time delay values
A-9
The following formulas ballpark additional coarse update time required for each unique Output Cam execution target being used. In the following formulas:
A = number of Output Cam array elements B = number of Output Compensation array elements C = number of Output Compensation array elements with Latch/ Unlatch non-zero delay values
All values are expressed in micro-seconds.

Wiring Registration Sensors

The registration inputs to the servo module can support 24V or 5V registration sensors. These inputs should be wired to receive source current from the sensor. Current sinking sensor configurations are not allowed because the registration input common (IN_COM) is shared with the other 24V servo module inputs.

Appendix
This appendix shows the structures for the AXIS, MOTION_GROUP, MOTION_INSTRUCTION, CAM, and CAM_PROFILE data tags.
The AXIS Structure
The AXIS structure contains status and configuration information for your motion axis. You can directly access this information in your application program. For example, if you want to use the AccelStatus attribute for Axis_X, you would use Axis_X.AccelStatus to gain access to the attribute.
Variable .AccelStatus
Data Type BOOL
Description You can use this bit to determine if the axis has been commanded to accelerate. If neither this bit nor the .DecelStatus bit is set, the axis is running at the steady-state velocity or is at rest. You can use this bit to determine the status of asynchronous communication. When the controller detects that one of the servo module parameters failed to update because of an asynchronous communication failure, this bit sets. When you reestablish the connection, the bit clears. You can use this bit to determine the status of synchronous communication. When the controller detects that the servo module has missed several position updates in a row because of a synchronous communication failure, this bit sets. When you reestablish the connection, the bit clears. You can use this bit to determine the status of a homing sequence. During power-up or reconnection, the controller clears this bit. The Motion Axis Home (MAH) instruction sets this bit when a homing sequence completes successfully. After this bit sets, If the axis enters the shutdown state, the controller clears this bit. You can use this bit to determine if the axis has been commanded to decelerate. If neither this bit nor the .AccelStatus bit is set, the axis is running at the steady-state velocity or is at rest. You can use this bit to determine the status of the drive enable output. If this bit is set, you have activated the drive enable output for your axis. This bit is clear if you have deactivated the drive enable output for your axis. You can use this bit to determine the status of the external drive. If this bit is set, the external drive detected a fault. This bit clears when the controller executes a Motion Axis Fault Reset (MAFR) instruction. You can use this bit to determine the status of the encoder channel A. This bit sets if both of the differential signals are at the same level or if the servo module or encoder loses encoder power or common.

If the magnitude of the servo loop output reaches or exceeds the OutputLimit value, this bit sets. This bit is clear when the magnitude of the servo loop output is within the OutputLimit value. You can use this bit to determine the start status of the current Position Cam Profile. This bit is set when the master axis satisfies the starting condition of the currently active Position Cam Profile. The starting condition is established by the Start Control and the Start Position parameters of the MAPC instruction. This bit is cleared when the current position cam profile completes or is superseded by another motion operation. You can use this bit to see if a position cam motion profile is currently waiting for the completion of an executing cam profile. This bit is set when a Position Cam motion profile is waiting the completion of an executing cam profile. It is initiated by executing an MAPC instruction with Pending execution selected. As soon as the current position cam profile completes, the pending cam profile is started, and the bit is cleared. This bit is also cleared when the position cam profile completes, or is superseded by some other motion operation.

Servo Configuration Update Status Bits attributes

You can use the servo configuration update status bits attributes to monitor the progress of servo configuration attribute updates, which are initiated by an SSV instruction in your application program. When the SSV instruction initiates an update, the controller sets the update status bit associated with the attribute. The update status bit remains set until the servo module indicates that the data update was successful. For example, if you use an SSV instruction to change the PositionProportionalGain attribute of an axis and follow it with logic based on the completion of the SSV instruction, you can check for the resetting of the .PosPGainStatus bit to ensure that the servo module attribute is updated. The following is a list of the servo configuration update status bits attributes.

The MOTION_GROUP Structure
The MOTION_GROUP structure contains status and configuration information for your motion group. You can directly access this information in your motion control program. For example, if you want to use the DriveFault attribute for Motion_Group, you would use Motion_Group.DriveFault to gain access to the attribute. The bits in the MOTION_GROUP structure are set when any axis in the group experiences the conditions required to set the bit. For example, if one axis in a group of ten axes developed the conditions to set the .POtrvlFault bit, the controller would set the .POtrvlFault bit in the MOTION_GROUP structure.

Execution status (.STATE)

The execution status is always set to 0 when the controller sets the .EN bit for a motion instruction. Other execution states depend on the motion instruction.
Profile Segment (.SEGMENT)

A segment is the distance from one point up to but, not including the next point. A .SEGMENT instruction gives the relative position by segment number as the Cam is executing.
CAM Structure
The Cam data type consists of slave and master point pairs as well as an interpolation type. Since there is no association with a specific axis position or time, the point values are unit-less. The interpolation type
C-14
can be specified for each segment as either linear or cubic. The format of the cam array element is shown in the following table.
Mnemonic: Data Type: Description: MASTER SLAVE Segment Type REAL REAL DINT The x value of the point. The y value of the point. The type of interpolation. Value: Description 0 linear. 1 cubic.
CAM_PROFILE Structure
The CAM_PROFILE data type is an array of coefficients representing a calculated cam profile that can be used as input to a time cam or position cam instruction. The only element available to the user is Status which is defined in the following table.
Mnemonic: Data Type: Description: Status DINT The status parameter is used to indicate that the Cam Profile array element has been calculated. If execution of a camming instruction is attempted using an uncalculated element in a Cam Profile, the instruction produces an error. Value: Description 0 Cam profile element has not been calculated. 1 Cam profile element is being calculated. 2 Cam profile element has been calculated. n Cam profile element has been calculated and is currently being used by (n-2) MAPC and MATC instructions.
Appendix
This appendix describes the motion attributes, their data types, and their access rules. The Logix5550 controller stores motion status and configuration information in the AXIS and MOTION_GROUP objects. To directly access this information, you can select the object (AXIS or MOTION_GROUP) and select the attribute. You can also use the GSV and SSV instructions to access these objects. See Input/Output Instructions in the Logix5550 Controller Instruction Set Reference Manual, publication 1756-6.4.1 for more information about the GSV and SSV instructions.
Motion Instance Variables
To use the motion instance variables, choose AXIS from the object list of the GSV and SSV instructions. When an attribute is marked with an asterisk (*), it means that the attribute is located in both the ControlLogix controller and in the motion module. When you use an SSV instruction to write one of these values, the controller will automatically update the copy in the module. However, this process is not immediate. To be sure that the new value has been updated in the module, use an interlock mechanism using the boolean bits in the Servo Configuration Update Status Bits of the AXIS structure. For example, if you perform an SSV instruction on the PositionLockTolerance, the PositionLockTolStatus of the Axis tag will be set until an update to the module is successful. Therefore, the logic following the SSV could wait on this bit resetting before continuing in the program.

Appendix
Instruction Timing
This appendix describes motion instruction timing types. Motion instructions use three types of timing sequences
Timing type Immediate Message Process Description The instruction completes in one scan. The instruction completes over several scans because the instruction sends messages to the servo module. The instruction could take an indefinite amount of time to complete.
Understanding Immediate Type Instructions
Immediate type motion instructions execute to completion in one scan. If the controller detects an error during the execution of these instructions, the error status bit sets and the operation ends. Examples of immediate type instructions include the:
Motion Change Dynamics (MCD) instruction Motion Group Strobe Position (MGSP) instruction
Immediate instructions work as follows: 1. When the rung that contains the motion instruction becomes true, the controller:
Sets the enable (EN) bit. Clears the done (DN) bit. Clears the error (ER) bit.
2. The controller executes the instruction completely. 3.

If the controller Does not detect an error when the instruction executes Detects an error when the instruction executes Then The controller sets the .DN bit. The controller sets the .ER bit and stores an error code in the control structure.

.ER Scan rung true Scan rung true Scan Scan rung false rung true
Understanding Message Type Instructions
Message type motion instructions send one or more messages to the servo module. Examples of message type instructions include the:
Motion Direct Drive On (MDO) instruction Motion Redefine Position (MRP) instruction
Message type instructions work as follows: 1. When the rung that contains the motion instruction becomes true, the controller:
Sets the enable (EN) bit. Clears the done (DN) bit. Clears the error (ER) bit.
2. The controller begins to execute the instruction by setting up a message request to the servo module. The remainder of the instruction executes in parallel to the program scan. 3. The controller checks if the servo module is ready to receive a new message. 4. The controller places the results of the check in the message status word of the control structure.
Instruction Timing
E-3
5. When the module is ready, the controller constructs and transmits the message to the module. This process may repeat several times if the instruction requires multiple messages. 6.
If the controller Does not detect an error when the instruction executes Detects an error when the instruction executes Then The controller sets the .DN bit. The controller sets the .ER bit and stores an error code in the control structure.
7. The next time the rung becomes false after either the .DN or .ER bit sets, the controller clears the .EN bit. 8. When the rung becomes true, the controller can execute the instruction again.
.EN
.DN
.ER Scan rung true Scan rung false Execution complete Scan Scan rung false rung true
Understanding Process Type Instructions
Process type motion instructions initiate motion processes that can take an indefinite amount of time to complete. Examples of process type instructions include the:
Motion Arm Watch Position (MAW) instruction Motion Axis Move (MAM) instruction
E-4
Instruction Timing
Process type instructions work as follows: 1. When the rung that contains the motion instruction becomes true, the controller:

Sets the enable (.EN) bit. Clears the done (.DN) bit. Clears the error (.ER) bit. Clears the process complete (.PC) bit.
2. The controller initiates the motion process. 3.

If The controller does not detect an error when the instruction executes The controller detects an error when the instruction executes Then the controller
Sets the .DN bit. Sets the in process (.IP) bit. Sets the .ER bit. Stores an error code in the control structure. Does not change the .IP and .PC bits.
The controller detects another instance of the motion instruction The motion process reaches the point where the instruction can be executed again
Clears the .IP bit for that instance.
Sets the .DN bit. For some process type instructions, like MAM, this will occur on the first scan. For others, like MAH, the .DN bit will not be set until the entire homing process is complete.
Sets the .DN bit. Sets the .PC bit. Clears the .IP bit.
One of the following occurs during the motion process: The motion process completes Another instance of the instruction executes Another instruction stops the motion process A motion fault stops the motion process
4. Once the initiation of the motion process completes, the program scan can continue. The remainder of the instruction and the control process continue in parallel with the program scan.
Instruction Timing

5. The next time the rung becomes false after either the .DN bit or the .ER bit sets, the controller clears the .EN bit. 6. When the rung becomes true, the instruction can execute again.

Appendix
Fault Handling
This appendix describes motion errors and faults.
Handling Motion Faults
Two types of motion faults exist.

Type Errors Description
Do not impact controller operation Should be corrected to optimize execution time and ensure program accuracy Caused by a problem with the servo loop Can shutdown the controller if you do not correct the fault condition
Example A Motion Axis Move (MAM) instruction with a parameter out of range
Minor/ Major
The application exceeded the PositionErrorTolerance value
Understanding Errors
Executing a motion instruction within an application program can generate errors. The MOTION_INSTRUCTION tag has a field that contains the error code. For more information on error codes for individual instructions, refer to the motion instruction chapters in the Logix5550 Controller Instruction Set Reference Manual.
Understanding Minor/ Major Faults
Several faults can occur that are not caused by motion instructions. For example, a loss of encoder feedback or actual position exceeding an overtravel limit will cause faults. The motion faults are considered Type 11 faults with error codes from 1 to 32. For more information about motion error codes, refer to Handling Controller Faults in the Logix5550 Controller User Manual. TIP You can configure a fault as either minor (non major) or major by using the Axis Wizard-Group window.
