Dear Sir I made Program with .pmc file which will have I variable , M variable and PLC program. After downloading this in PMAC through PEWIN32PRO software, I have given following command through TERMINAL WINDOW, Motor #1 started rotating in closed loop (motor #2 is in open loop ---motor #1 and motor #2 coupled through big wheel). #1o0 #2o0 (motor #1 , #2 amplifier enbled) i122=10 (jog speed) #1j+ ( closing axis #1 by giving jog command) After these commands I have given SAVE command. But I am able to save only I variable, M variable and PLC program , Not commands. For example power goes and comes back, Variables will be there in PMAC EEPROM, but not commands. Again i have to repeat same commands after power comes. Is there any way for Saving COMMANDS(#1o0 #2o0 i122=10 #1j+) ????????????????????????? or any altenative method ??? Thanks and regards Srinivasarao B

[quote='Sina' pid='1102' dateline='1295285247'] Srinivas, This method may work, however, keep in mind that PMAC is designed to do a complete position and velocity PID loop and disabling fatal following error, is considered very dangerous. If you do have true feedback from the motor, I would suggest using it for both position and velocity of motor 1. Tune the motor 1 in position mode. Once you integrate your analog input in ECT and bring in the result as master position for motor 1, it would act as if it was velocity control, but with much better safety. Regards, [/quote] Dear sina Thanks for your valuable feedback........ Can you tell me what is the difference between Ixx67 and Ixx11 (and/or Ixx12) ? In Turbo PMAC SRM manual Ixx67 tells "If pure velocity control is desired for the motor, Ixx67 can be set to 0, effectively disabling the position loop " If I am putting this Zero and using Ixx11 and/or Ixx12 , loop is not working properly. Thanks and regards Srinivasa rao

Dear sina ........ Below process of making PMAC PID in velocity mode is right or wrong?Please give your valuable feedback on same. I am connecting PMAC #1 axis to Motor #1 through Servostar. 1. i7106 = $1FFFFF (ADC strobe word) I8009=$178115 2. i100=1 i103=$350D (position feedback address is assigned to 12 line of ECT) i104=$3501 (velocity feedback address motor #1 resolver feedbac) i105=$350A (master position address) i106=1 (master position enable) i107=1 (master position scale factor) i108=96 ( position loop scaling factor) i109=96 (velocity loop scaling factor) i111=0 ( fatal folowing error putting zero for making PIDas poor velocity control) i112=0 (warning following error zero) i130=XXXXXXXX ( proportional gain) i131=128 ( derivative gain i am using as scaling factor for velocity feedback) i132=0 i133=0 i134=0 3. After downloading this in PMAC2 through PEwin32 pro. In terimal window following command i am giving ......... #1o0(enabling #1 axis) #1j/(clsong loop) 4. After closing #1 loop , resolver feedback will go to i104 and positon feedback will go to ECT line 12. So position loop wont close and only velocity loop will close. 5. When analog input will change motor #1 speed will change. Thanks and regards Srinivas.

So what you need to do is to get the analog input from the ADC in the encoder conversion table, integrate it and then feed it as a master position to the motors 1 and 2. Motors 1 and 2 are setup purely in position mode and since we are integrating the velocity command, we'll end up with position command which is sent to the motors. Regards, [/quote] Dear Sina I wish you a happy new year in advance. According your last reply, I am taking analog input from ADC in the encoder conversion table , integrating it and taking as a master position as follows..... I7106=$1FFFFF (ADC strobe word) I8009 = $578115 ( ADC value taking line no 10 in ECT which address is $350A) I505=$350A I506 = 1 (master position enable) i507 = 96 (master position scaling factor) I am taking M567 as present master position. Please reply , the above method is right or wrong. Thanks and regards Srinivas

Regards, [/quote] HI Sina, Thanks for your prompt reply.I would like to clarify the following : The external +/- 10 volt is actually coming out of a position loop (digitally implemented by a 8086 CPU based system) closed using a Load encoder mounted on the 1:1 shaft. Therefore we already have a position loop which is a PI controller. We are using PMAC for Velocity loop to drive the amplifiers and brushless motors as we want to implement standard 3 loop servo system of position, velocity and current. The position loop output varies from a few millivolts to a maximum of 10 volt depending on how big the position command is ? regards srinivas

[attachment=1416:name][quote='Sina' pid='917' dateline='1291828087'] Can you give a little bit more information on the system? [/quote] Thank you for your reply I am herewith attaching block diagram of test set up. I am giving 0 to +/- 10 V analog input from external supply. I am reading this analog input value in Turbo PMAC through M5063-> y:$78115,8,16. After getting this value how to close velocity loop through PMAC PID according to my block diagram?

I am new to turbo PMAC2. Can anyone help how to configure PMAC2 as velocity loop using PMAC PID. I am giving +/- 10V analog voltage from external supply as a velocity command signal.
