TC54 - Sysmac Motion Control

The course discusses simple motion types (Position, Speed and Torque) and how to use Sysmac and the PLCopen library for motion to achieve this.

Course details:

The course is primarily hands-on using dedicated training equipment incorporating our NJ Sysmac controller and 1S Servo drive and motor.

Introduction to Motion:

An explanation of motion types (Linear and rotary). An explanation of control types (Position, Speed and Torque control). Discussion of the types of hardware axes in Sysmac (Servo, Encoder and Pulse).

Sysmac Motion:

• Explanation of deterministic motion over EtherCAT.
• Configuration of the hardware axis (servo).
• Configuration and use of the Sysmac axis object for rotary and linear motion types.

PLCopen Library:

• Practical hands on experience of the simple motion commands.
• Enabling and homing an axis.
• Axis Jogging.
• Single axis motion (Position, Velocity and Torque control).
• Axis positional latches.
• Feed control.

PLCopen Library:

• Detecting EtherCAT and Motion errors, and how to handle them.
• Servo safety principles – Wired and FSoE (Safety over EtherCAT).

The primary objective of the course is to provide a comprehensive introduction to Omron Sysmac motion, for singular axis motion.

The course is suitable for engineers and technicians who have attended the Sysmac Control Basic course TC51.
