Short Description Systemwide Definition of Velocity / Speed

Description

VUNIT gives the systemwide definition of velocity / speed resolution. This parameter effects all parameters that are related to the velocity and the position controller.

VUNIT = 0 the speed controller uses RPM and the position controller uses µm/sec.
This setting was standard for firmware < 4.00.

VUNIT = 1 Unit = RPM
VUNIT = 2 Unit = Rad/Sec
VUNIT = 3 Unit = Degree/Sec
VUNIT = 4 Unit = internal Counts/250 µsec
VUNIT = 5 Unit = PUNIT / Sec
VUNIT = 6 Unit = PUNIT / Min
VUNIT = 7 Unit = 1000 * PUNIT / Sec
VUNIT = 8 Unit = 1000 * PUNIT / Min

Remark:
1. All parameters that are related to velocity controller have a fixed format of 32 Bit with 3 fractional digits. This causes a problem with some of the VUNIT settings (especially VUNIT=6), related to the resolution of the position controller (PGEARI), that not the full range of speed can be used. Under this condition, a different setting of VUNIT is necessary.

2. All parameters that are related to speed controller have a fixed format of 32 Bit with no fractional digits. This causes a problem with some of the VUNIT settings (especially VUNIT=3) to give fractional digits. Under this condition, a different setting of VUNIT is necessary.

Definition of the Calculation factors

VUNIT=1 1 RPM = 1048576*32/(4000*60) =~ 139.8 Counts
VUNIT=2 1 Rad/sec = 1048576*32/(4000*2*PI) =~ 1335 Counts
VUNIT=3 1 Deg/sec = 1048576*32/(4000*360) =~ 23.3 Counts
VUNIT=4 1 internal Counts/250µs = 32 Counts
VUNIT=5 1 PUNIT / sec = PGEARO / (125 * PGEARI)
VUNIT=6 1 PUNIT / min = (PGEARO * 60) / (125 * PGEARI)
VUNIT=7 1000 PUNIT / sec = PGEARO / (125 * PGEARI * 1000)
VUNIT=8 1000 PUNIT / min = (PGEARO * 60) / (125 * PGEARI * 1000)
