I’ve got 3 Yaskawa sigma 7 1.5kw drives and motors to program for the drilling machine. One has a 8:1 reducer driving a rack gear for the X axis. The other two drive ball screws with 5mm pitch for the two Z axis. There is no Y axis. Each Z axis has 7 - 2.2kw spindles and a single 7.5k spindle.
I am currently working only with the servos using SigmaWin 7+ to program and jog them. I used the setup wizard to set up the brakes, encoder, etc. I need to use the function to determine the correct moment of inertia ratio and then do the tuning process. This is my first servo installation but I’ve programmed all kinds of VFDs and PLCs. I can’t get the MOI ratio rountine to work. It seems to work, runs the servo back and forth multiple times then fails saying it can’t calculate the MOI ratio.
The basic problem is that never having done this before I can’t make good guesses for initial numbers to start with. I tried the X axis with only the motor and reducer and it fails there too.
Sugestions on what to do? Trying to decide if I need to bring in a technician and how long it will take to get one here at what cost.
