Advanced Servo Motion Mastery 1 (Servo PLC Programming)

Learn how to convert downloaded timing cam ACD files to usable form by removing the trailing .tt extension with a rename. Do not edit the raw data; re-download if needed.

Learn to use the RS logic emulators (5000 and 5000 studio), match emulator versions, and configure startup, memory size, and processor slots to run servo PLC programs.

Learn to create an emulation file from scratch using RSA Logic 5000 or Studio 5000, configure a processor in a chassis and slot, and download to run an emulated program.

Compare Studio 5000 emulation with RSLogix 5000 emulation in version 28, set up memory and modules, and download a sample program while addressing version alignment issues.

Learn hands-on procedures to configure a servo ring in a Kinetic 6000 system, wire IO, set dip switch nodes, and troubleshoot communication and state transitions from 0 to 4.

Inhibit the kinetic 6000 servo drive and its module through code by setting the mode with a changeable tag, and compare axis versus drive inhibition for troubleshooting.

Explore timing fundamentals for servo motion, focusing on the course rate update, virtual axes, motion attributes updating first, and how hardware and processors affect scan times across axes.

Explore periodic versus continuous tasks to master servo timing, set the course rate update, and monitor processor health for reliable motion control in servo PLC systems.

Perform a hook up test for a servo using a trend, axis, and marker and feedback tests to verify encoder pulses and motor polarity, including home and direction checks.

Apply auto tune on a motor to obtain default parameters, then adjust travel, speed, and damping factors while inspecting gains, velocity, and torque scaling for precise servo tuning.

Set up an S-curve trend to tune motion by plotting position, average velocity, and torque feedback to visualize smooth ramping and inertia effects.

Compare motion profiles and clarify how trapezoid profiles ignore acceleration and deceleration jerk, while S-curve profiles apply them. Demonstrate how Excel and DSL settings shape start and stop ramps.

Discover how to compute counts per box from motor rev counts using conversion constants, a 3 to 1 gearbox, pulleys, and sprockets.

Explore the differences between linear and cubic cam profiles and cam depth. See how a data array controls motion, with 40 points and zero-based indexing in a cam editor.

Master the servo cam editor to build cam segments, adjust slave position, velocity, acceleration, and jerk, and switch between linear and cubic profiles for smooth motion.

Explore the motion axis time cam instruction, create a cam profile, and configure distance, time, and execution mode on a virtual axis using a time driven approach.

Learn how to implement rolling time changes in the MATC time cam instruction, linking machine speed, time scaling, and move commands to control velocity and acceleration in servo motion.
