he DGT-IN1,...DGT-IN9 inputs are enabled by giving +24V, while the DGT-INAUX1 and DGT-
IN-AUX2 inputs are enabled by giving +5V.
Attention: it is not possible to enable the DGT-INAUX1 and DGT-IN-AUX2 giving +24V.
The “Hw” led, about digital outputs, visualises the hardware status of the digital outputs, if it is red
the output is closed.
Near the name of each digital input/output there are two fields:
The DGT-IN2...DGT-IN5 and DGT-IN-AUX1...DGT-IN-AUX2 inputs can be set to enable the fol-
lowing functions:
• The function just illustrated are selectable on all the digital inputs, otherwise the
functions: Ref-On, PStop, NStop, Brake, P+N Stop, Homing Sensor, Start Task I/O,
Start Sequence, Star Next, Emergency, Start Homing, Reset Alarm can be set on
one input at a time.
• If the OP MODE "6:Pulse/Dir Mode" is set, the digital inputs DGT-IN-AUX1 and
DGT-IN-AUX2 cannot be utilised as programmable digital inputs.
• Before changing the function on a programmable input make sure that the func-
tion is disabled.
For example:
The “Start Homing” function is not active with a low signal on the dedicated in-
put.The “Pstop” function is not active with a high signal on the dedicated input.
• Remember to save to the EEPROM all settings made on the programmable digital
input in order to make them permanent.
• To set or reset by keypad the digital inputs, see enclosure "Display and Keypad Manual"
available on the CD provided with the drive.
The DGT-IN5...DGT-IN9 are used to select via software one of the 32 pre-set positioning profiles
for the functions: Start Task I/O, Start Sequence, Start Next.
If the DGT-IN5 digital input is set with the “Off” function, it is possible to make the direct addressing
of all the 32 available tasks by using the tables below:

lect the n° 10 profile: apply a high logic signal to the DGT-IN9 and DGT-IN6 inputs and disable the
DGT-IN7 and DGT-IN8 inputs.
In the following table there are the setting functions for the two digital outputs:
Note: to set or reset by keypad the digital outputs, see enclosure "Dispaly and Keypad Manual" avai-
lable on the CD provided with the drive.
This window allows you to set the static and dynamic parameters about “4:Position Mode”, “5:Gear-
ing”, “6:Pulse/Dir Mode”.
With every selection all associated parameters are pre-disposed automatically.
"4:Position Mode"
If the “4:Position Mode” operative mode is set, the “Position” window is the following:
Feed Forward
This improves the sys-
tem’s dynamics.
Suggested value: 100%.
[By keypad: F6 P4]
[ModBus address: 41]

[By keypad: F6 P1]
[ModBus address: 38]
Kp Static
Set as Kp Dynamic.
[By keypad: F6 P2]
[ModBus address: 39]
Position Polarity
Positive or Negative. This parameter enables a complete inversion of axis control.
Selecting the “Negative” choice you have effects on homing and positioning procedures like as fol-
low:
1) The rotation wise of supported homing procedures is inverted referred to the procedures in the
chapter relative to homing procedures.
2) The “Homing Offset” value set is multiplied by -1.
3) All target positions (“Final Position”) are multiplied by -1.
Max_Position_Error = K° * 65536
360°
Example: If the maximum mechanical accepted error is 45° (1/8 mechanical turn), then the value to
insert in the Max Position Error box is 8192, in fact:
Note: You can find more information about Positioner on enclosure "Positioner Manual"
available on the CD provided with the drive.
"5:Gearing"
If the “5:Gearing” operative mode is set, the “Position” window is the following:
The Feedforward, Kp Dynamic, Kp Static and Max.Position Error parameters have the same
functions illustrated in the preceeding page, but may have to be re-set, while adding the new param-
eters for gearing:
Gear Ratio [By keypad: F7 L2 for the numerator, and F7 L3 for the denominator]
[ModBus address: 46 for the numerator, and 47 for the denominator]
Insert into the numerator and denominator, the ratio that allows you to obtain the desired Slave speed
in regards to the Master.
Note: the values which you can insert are between the 1/64<|Ratio|<64 range.
You can find more information about gearing on enclosure "Operative Modes Manual" avai-
lable on the CD provided with the drive.
"6:Pulse/Dir Mode"
If the “6:Pulse/Dir Mode” operative mode is set, the “Position” window is the following:
The Feedforward, Kp Dynamic, Kp Static, Max Position Error and Ref-Filter parameters have
the same functions illustrated in the preceding page, but the Pulses per Turn and Gear Ratio win-
dows are significantly different.
Gear Ratio [By keypad: F7 L2 for the numerator, and F7 L3 for the denominator]
[ModBus address: 46 for the numerator, and 47 for the denominator]
If the number of the desired pulses is not present on the Pulses per Turn menu, adjust it by using the
Gear Ratio factor in the 1/64<|ratio|<64 range. Therefore:
It is suggested to use values around 1, especially in systems that requires high precision.
You can find more information about Pulse/Direction mode on enclosure "Operative Modes
Manual" available on the CD provided with the drive.
In the main window of the interface there is an area where you can set the parameters of the Hom-
ing procedure:
The homing procedure uses the signal of the homing sensor and, eventually, the zero signal of
the encoder.
Before start a positioning it is necessary execute a successful homing procedure.
• Homing method 1 (direct): the drive makes the motor turn in a counter-clockwise direction
to search for the homing sensor.
• Homing method 2 (reverse): the drive makes the motor turn in a clockwise direction to search
for the homing sensor.
• Immediate: the current position becomes the home position without moving the motor to search
the homing sensor.
Sensor
It selects the type of sensor used for the homing procedure. The available options are NOpen (nor-
mally open) or NClosed (normally closed).
Zero Encoder
Marking the “Zero Encoder” box the home position is set on the first zero pulse of the motor feed-
back after the interception of the homing sensor. This allows you to execute the homing procedure
with better precision.
Max Search Angle [By keypad: F12 I20] [ModBus address: 108]
It is the maximum mechanical angle (0-359 degrees) that can be made during the search for the
zero encoder signal after the correct interception of the homing sensor. Above this angle the motor
stops, no homing position is saved and alarm 26 (the “Homing Error” alarm) is displayed (this alarm
is cleared after the disabling of the digital input set with the “Reset Fault” function).
This parameter (when used correctly) allows the homing process to be repeated with excellent results
and avoid errors due to sensor signal elasticity or mechanical tolerance.
Where: T_acc_homing = real acceleration time during the homing search process;
Speed_homing = speed set for the homing process ("Speed" parameter);
Speed_motor = motor speed limit set on the interface ("Speed Limit" parameter);
T_acc_set = value inserted in the "Acceleration" parameter.
The acceleration time set in the homing window is the time that the motor should employ to accelerate
from 0 rpm to the maximum speed (in this case 3000rpm).
The real acceleration time from 0 rpm to 1000 rpm is 167ms, in fact:
Homing Offset [By keypad: F12 I4 and I5] [ModBus address: 92 and 93]
This defines the difference between the zero position for the application and the machine's home posi-
tion (which is found during homing process). It is measured in pulses and the allowed values are in
ranges: +/-(232-1). This value is assigned to the home position found at the end of a successful homing
process. The Homing Offset value is obtained by the execution of the following calculation:
Example: suppose we have an application where the distance between the home position and the zero
position of the axis is equal to the distance that the axis can go with a rotation of 4 turns plus an ad-
dition 90° mechanical turn.
The first thing to do is to find the number of turns to insert into the formula. In this example: n° turns
= 4 + 90°/360° = 4.25 to refer to the fraction of turn above 360°. Now it is possible to calculate uti-
lizing the following operation: 4,25 *65536 = 278528. This bold number is the value that must be
inserted in the "Homing Offset" window.
After the setting of the desired homing parameters save the changes using the “Save To
EEPROM” function on the software interface, doing this the drive's setup will become perme-
nent.
You can find more information about homing procedures on enclosure "Positioners Manual"
available on the CD provided with the drive.
This window allows you to setup all the parameters about the 32 positioner trapezoidal profiles.
Final position
It defines the absolute position reference for the selected position profile.
The admitted values are in the range +/-(231-1). Setting the value 0 means "return to zero position"
(the position found during homing only if the Homing Offset was set to zero).
To define the value (approximated at the nearest integer value) that should be inserted, the following
formula will be used:
Example: We want to start from the position 0 after a successful homing procedure, with a Homing
Offset value equal to zero. Suppose that the set task makes a rotation of the motor’s shaft of 20 turns
and 60° mechanical. First thing is to normalise 60° on 360° and add the obtained value to the number
of integer turn: n° of turns = 20 + 60°/360° = 20 + 0,16 = 20,16 after this you must multiply by
65536 the obtained number like as follow: 20,16 * 65536 = 1321642,6 and insert in the Final Position
parameter the integer part of the number found, in this case 1321642.
Acc Time
It sets the acceleration time value for the trapezoidal profile ramp. This parameter admits values in the
range: 10...5000 ms. The time value is refered to the max motor speed, "Speed Limit" parameter set
in the "Speed" window, so the real acceleration time related to the profile speed can be found using
the following expression:
Dec Time
It sets the deceleration time value of the trapezoidal profile ramp. This parameter admits values in the
range: 10...5000 ms. The time value is refered to the max motor speed, "Speed Limit" parameter set
in the "Speed" window, so the real acceleration time related to the profile speed can be found using
the following expression:
Speed
It sets the speed reference of the trapezoidal profile. This parameter is limited by "Max Position
Speed".
Next Profile
It is the number of the following profile to execute after the quote reached of last task. This parameter
is defined for concatenated profiles mode.
Window Pos.
It is the window of position quotes admitted around the sensor position to declare “position reached”.
It is defined in feedback pulses and can be calculated with the following formula:
Window Time
It is the time limit used when the motor is within the position window to set "target reached" indica-
tion. It is declared in "ms" and admits values in the range: 0...65536.
Window Delay
It is the waiting time after the quote reached and after the "Window Time", to declare "position
reached".
Note: The Window Pos, Window Time, and Window Delay parameters are utilised to guarantee
a good positioning; in fact there are some situations (very high inertia, joint elasticity or belt, etc),
where after a positioning there is an oscillation. Setting correctly these parameters it is possible to be
sure that these oscillation is contained in a range (Window Pos) for a time over the time set in "Window
Time" parameter.
PSTOP Software
If the Final Position parameter is greater then the PTSOP Software, the task stops when the PSTOP
target is reached.
NSTOP Software
If the Final Position parameter is greater then the NTSOP Software, the task stops when the NSTOP
target is reached.
First profile
Not used.
Note: Each profile is identified and saved with a number from 1 to 32 (for example "Position Task Nr.
1"), selectable in the dedicated menu on the "Axor Profile Tool" window.
The "Axor Profile Tool" window has 4 icons which helps you during the parameter configuration:
Note: The functions Save Profile File and Open Profile File are very useful if you want to configure
more than a drive with the same setup.
In this case you can configure all parameters on a drive, save in flash and save the setup on a file.
For other drives it is not necessary to configure one by one the parameter of the single task but you
can use the file saved before and load the parameter saved on the file. After this save the parameter
into flash.
You can find more information about positioner on enclosure "Positioner Manual" availa-
ble on the CD provided with the drive.
With drives Magnum400TM, McbNET DigitalTM, Fast BackTM and MiniMagnumTM it is possible to use
the digital oscilloscope implemented into the Axor Speeder One interface.
The oscilloscope functions as a normal two channel digital oscilloscope and it allows visualizing: motor
speed, phase current, position error, etc.
To open the Oscilloscope window (see Fig.1) click on the oscilloscope icon in the main window of
the Speeder One interface:
It starts data acquisition in both modes It resets the window eliminating the
Single or Continuous Acquisition. visualized traces.
DATA ACQUISITION:
Single Acquisition
Selecting the Single Acquisition option, the oscilloscope's behaviour is dependant upon enable-
ment/disablement of a trigger event:
CASE 1: If the trigger event is enabled on rising edge or falling one of signal in Channel 1, the
oscilloscope waits for the first trigger event. At trigger arrival the trace is visualized and data
acquisition is stopped. To capture a new trigger event it is necessary to start a new acquisition
by clicking on the icon .
CASE 2: If trigger event is disabled, the oscilloscope acquires new data, it visualizes it, then it
stops. To upgrade the trace it is necessary to start a new acquisition by clicking on the icon .
Continuous Acquisition
Selecting the Continuous Acquisition option, the oscilloscope's behaviour depends upon enable-
ment/disablement of trigger event:
CASE 1: If trigger event is enabled on the rising or falling edge of a signal in Channel 1, os-
cilloscope waits until the first trigger event. At trigger's arrival the trace is visualized and it is
updated at each trigger event.
CASE 2: If trigger is disabled, oscilloscope continually acquires new data and updates traces.
TRIGGER EVENT:
Enabling trigger event it is possible to acquire and visualize the traces only at the occurrence of a
definite signal in Channel 1; that signal is characterized by a ring edge or a falling one and by a
level (or amplitude). To enabled a trigger event it is necessary:
1° to set the rising or falling edge (Edge icons);
2° to set the desired level (Level parameter).
Clicking the Auto button it is possible to disabled the trigger event ⇒ the oscilloscope will continue
to acquire new data and update the traces.
You should use the Auto trigger function:
• during first acquisition, in order the know the scale of input signals;
• in presence of low repetitive rate signals;
• in presence of dc signals.
TIME BASE:
Delay
If the trigger event is enabled the value set in Delay fixes the point, in the horizontal axis, where
the trigger event will be visualized; on the contrary, if the trigger event is disabled the value set in
Delay is ignored.
The default value set for the Delay parameter is in the middle window.
SIGNAL SETTING:
Using the Axor's Speeder One software you can select some standard configuration files to allow the
drive to be setup for SuperSAX series brushless servomotors.
4) Save the values loaded using the "Save Data To EEPROM" button.
• "Motor" window: sets for 6 motor pole, with or without brake, encoder (2048 ppr) or resolver
(2 pole) feedback.
• "Current" window: gains and currents (rated and peak) are set to work with a specific motor,
while I2t value ("I2t Message" parameter) is set reference to the drive.
• "Speed" window: gains are set for a motor without load (free).
The Acc and Dec ramp are set at 0ms; while the Emergency ramp is set at 100ms.
The Speed Limit is set equal to the max speed supported by the motor.
Others parameters are set at 0.
• "Encoder Out" window: The pulses per turn of the simulated encoder are set equal to those of
the motor's encoder.
• "Digital Speed" window (operative modes: "Digital Speed", "Square Wave"): the speed refe-
rence is set to 0 RPM.
• "Square Wave Period" operative mode: the semi-period of the square wave is set to 500 ms.
• Homing settings: the "No homing" method is set while all others homing parameters are set at
0.
• “Position” window (operative modes: “Position Mode”, “Gearing” and “Pulse/Dir Mode”): all gains
are set at 100, while the max position error is set at 8192.
In the "Pulses per Turn" parameter the number of pulses/rev of the encoder is set, while the Gear
Ratio is set equal to 1/1.
• “Digital I/O” window: all inputs and outputs are set with "0:Off" function.
• “Analog I/O” window: the filter times, the offsets and the deadband are set to 0.
Notes:
• The loading of a file and the parameter variation should be done only by qualified techni-
cal personnel.
• The standard configuration files are not protected against accidental changing, so after loading a new
file it is necessary to control all the parameter, in particular:
- Main voltage (Main Voltage menu in the main window)
- Number of motor pole (Motor window)
- Feedback (Motor window)
- Irms (Current window)
- Ipk (Current window)
- Rated speed (Speed window)
