Step 1: Connect the wires first
Connect the motor to a Siemens drive, such as SINAMICS, SIMODRIVE. Connect the power cable to U/V/W and plug the encoder cable into the corresponding connector.
⚠️ Be sure to connect according to the original wiring diagram, don't try to fast messy connection, or interference, damage are possible.
Step 2: Open the debugging software
Use Siemens debugging tools, such as STARTER, SINAMICS SIZER or TIA Portal, and record the motor parameters into it.
* Some drivers can automatically recognize the motor model and read the parameters directly.
* If there is no automatic recognition, fill in the data manually according to the motor nameplate: rated current, speed, encoder type, etc.
* Then select the control mode you want: speed control, position control or torque control.
Step 3: Tune the encoder
Most of the Siemens motors come with built-in encoders, some with Heidenhain. To make the motor turn accurately, the encoder signal must be clear and correct.
* Calibrate the zero point: make the zero of the encoder align with the mechanical zero.
* Set the signal type right (TTL, EnDat, SSI, those).
* Run the encoder test function to see if the signal is stable and correct.
This step is skipped, the back of the accuracy of the problem basically can not get rid of.
Step 4: No-load test rotation
After powering up, do not hang the load first, run a circle of no load.
* Look at the direction of motor rotation is not correct.
* Temperature, current is not a normal range.
* There is no alarm, such as F0001 overcurrent, F3001 encoder failure.
No problem and then continue, out of the alarm quickly check.
Step 5: Add load to adjust the details
No load is no problem, you can slowly hang the load to try.
* First, run a light load, and then add it gradually.
* At the same time, adjust the PID parameters of the control loop, so that the motor can keep up and not shake.
* Acceleration and deceleration time do not forget to adjust, too fierce will be rushed, too slow the machine efficiency is low.
We have a special
test bench, can simulate the actual working conditions, adjusted in advance, the customer can use on hand.
