Hello all,
I'm currently working on a servo motor linear positioning system (ball screw). I'm all set up regarding communication between my HMI and servo drive (RS-232), I can write and read parameters through the HMI to the drive.
Right now I'm setting the positioning command via PUUs, but I want to make the operators life easier by allowing him to input the positioning command in inches. I was thinking on using a macro command that can do this conversion but I'm not really sure how to accomplish this. So my main goal is to input the length to move in inches but make the HMI write the parameter to the servo drive in PUUs.
Any ideas/recommendations would be much appreciated!
System's equipment used:
HMI: Delta-DOP107EG
Servo Drive: ASDA2 0721 M
Servo motor: ECMA-C10807ES
PLC: DVP28SV11R2
