Implementing Spindle Homing for DELTA C2000 Plus (In)correctly?

Category: EtherCAT

the origin switch is probably what your after, but you might want to make sure it consistently repeats to within a few encoder counts every time or it's useless for things like threading etc.

You should never get a runaway, but you will get oscillations with a too high PID value

To avoid a runaway around 0 speed where a negative PID output may occur might require
some hal magic, say using the PID output sign to run the VFD direction signal or forcing the
PWM value to 0 when the PID output is negative.

"uspace" in this context means using a Preempt-RT kernel.

Thanks. Yeah I think the main problem was that I have set the P value too high (above 2 is too much --> runaway). So the system seems to be working now.
  • I set a non-zero value to the DEADBAND setting (10)
  • I am using a low pass filter on the encoder feedback signal before feeding it to the PID loop
  • I use a low P value to stop the system "from running away"

Normally this is just done with normal PID,
with FF0 set to 1 and PWM scale set to RPM at 10V

PID would mainly be for Keeping constant RPM vs load.
If you have major non-linearities, these can be corrected with
the lincurve component.

Mesa 7i96s PID Spindle Setup

Category: Basic Configuration

Hi all,

I am working on a weiler cnc lathe retrofit. So far it works well, the only thing left ist the PID tuning of the spindle speed. 
The spindle also works without PID but the offset to the actual speed varies quite a bit (not linear), I was hoping to correct this with a PID loop.

VFD: Huanyang with analog voltage input (0-10V).

Currently I am trying to figure out how to implenent the PID setup for this.

How can I scale the PID output to 0-10V (or 0-4600 rpm) ? Currently my PID output can be negative and so the pwmgen.value of the Mesa7i96s spindle is negative which does not work for my setup. I feed the PID ouput to the scaled pwmgen input.

I think the system has to adjust the current value sent to the pwmgen.value just below and above the current setpoint in order to adjust for velocity offset. I was thinking of using the sum function (which kind of works but also does not really correct the non-linearity) but I think there must be an easier way...

Cheers,
David

Nvm i got it working. I forgot to actualy update the .var file itself so it startet at number 5xxx and not 3xxx.

So new parameters couldnt be stored.

I did update the subroutines folder for the latest Version of probe basic.

So do i have to manually go and edit the probe_basic.var?

I'm sorry I am not as familiar with iocontrol v2, and missed that. I'm not sure what exactly the lube related pins do other than exactly what it says in the man page. As far as I know the pins will only be true if the machine is out of estop and the halui pin "halui.lube.on" is true. So it might be a rather toothless addition that doesn't really do much of anything, and you will still need to create appropriate logic to control it. I could be completely wrong, but I'm not seeing documentation to say otherwise.

I'm not sure I understand what your trying to do with the fipflop component. I don't think it is necessary. (A hal input pin remembers the value it is given with a setp if it isn't connected to a signal and hal commands like setp in the hal file are only executed once when the hal file is loaded at start up.)

I would probably use a couple of custom M-codes to enable/disable the 2nd probe. In your hal file add a line to setp the value of the and2.0.in0. and remove all other hal file references to that pin. Then in the two M-code files setp the value of and2.0.in0 to true or false to enable and disable the input.

# Load logic components
loadrt and2 count=1
loadrt or2 count=1

addf and2.0 servo-thread
addf or2.0 servo-thread

setp and2.0.in0 false #Set probe2's input state to disabled at startup.

# Define probe inputs (Pin 0 and Pin 2)
net probe1-in <= hm2_7i96s.0.inm.00.input-00-not # Tool Touch-off probe (Pin 0)
net probe2-in <= hm2_7i96s.0.inm.00.input-02-not  =>  and2.0.in1 # Edge Finder probe (Pin 2)

# Enable Edge Finder only when connected
net probe2-final <= and2.0.out # Final state of Edge Finder # Allow probe2 (Edge Finder) if connected

# Send final signal to motion.probe-input
net probe1-in => or2.0.in0 #Combine probe 1 and 2 inputs
net probe2-final => or2.0.in1 #Combine probe 2 input (when enabled)
net probe_comb or2.0.out => motion.probe-input

Then to create an M101 M-code create a file containing the following, called M101 save it to your config dir and save as an executable file.
#!/bin/bash
# file to enable Probe2
halcmd setp and2.0.in0 True
exit 0

Then you can make another one to disable the probe called M102
#!/bin/bash
# file to disnable Probe2
halcmd setp and2.0.in0 False
exit 0

Category: EtherCAT

Thanks for the overview.

I don't think that will work for me, as my encoder doesn't have a Z pulse. Just an A, B and R one. The motor itself has an origin switch that gives a digital output. The idea is to have that serve as the homing point, probably by using Homing Method 4 for Homing Mode (an operation mode in EtherCAT). I'm going to look into whether or not something like this has been discussed here, but for now it seems I'm the only one with this sort of setup, I think.

Spindle PID RPM oscillates under load

You may be able to reduce the overshoot by using
the PID components maxerror pin. This should allow
higher P (and I) terms.

Also anything in the VFD setup that slows response
will limit the highest stable P term.

Spindle PID RPM oscillates under load

Category: Advanced Configuration

Hello guys,

i just started taking heavier cuts on my machine (Deckel FP2A) and i noticed that the rpm drops down, sometimes up to 150 rpm. The machine uses a 2.2 kW motor with a huanyang vfd. Between the motor and spindle is a belt drive as well as an gearbox (similar to the MAHO machines). Up until now i ran the spindle open loop. But since i added a encoder directly to the spindle i thought i could close the loop and use pid to counteract the rpm drops. I ran a couple of tests today but i was not able to keep the rpm steady under load. With all PID values at 0, except FF0 that was 1 during all the tests, i was already getting a good response (see halscope below). At around P=2 the over and undershoots started. So i tried P=0.5 and ran a test cut in mild steel (cut conditions below, machine should be more than capable for that). At the halscope you could see how to rpm drops and then oscillates. And the end of the cut the rpm came back up to the commanded speed. You can actually hear the rpm drop and accelerate.

I don't know how to continue from here, so i wish to get help from you guys! The pid with all values at 0 gives the best response but also makes it kind of useless. I attached a couple halscope diagrams of different tests below. They are always three: spindle startup, idling and under load. I also tired higher P values just to see if the pid is working. My spindle hal section is pretty much the default pncconf, only added the gearbox and vfd stuff (gear selection etc.). This might as well be a vfd issue, so i included my parameters that i have changed after a factory reset.

Thank you!
