Encoder Counter Reset

Hi,

Is it possible to reset the encoder counter without resetting the power? I am using an older version of FBL2360.

Thanks,

Send the command for loading a value in the counter

!c 1 0 for counter 1
!c 2 0 for counter 2

I am running my motor in closed loop count position mode with encoder as a feedback. Suppose my encode reading was 10000 and as soon as I gave that command, my motor started to vibrate and drew heavy current causing an over current fault in the power supply.

I should rephrase my question: Can I reset the encoder reading while I am operating in closed loop count position mode?

In Open loop mode, it is working fine. I am finding it difficult to reset the encoder count in closed loop mode only.

Also, while operating in closed loop count position mode with encoder as a feedback, when the encoder count equals the command count, motor is stopping abruptly. I have tried to change acceleration and deceleration values but it did not help. I have tried with different set of PID values but in every case the motor was stopping abruptly.

I want the motor to stop smoothly.

Command given to FBL 2360 was

!P 1 1000000

I did used very little I. I already explained that I did tried with different set of PID values without any success. As suggested, I shall reset the integrator limit.

Does changing the acceleration and deceleration values not affect the outcome?

Thanks,

Rajeshwar

I tried resetting the integrator limit to different values. With all the tuning, I am only able to start the motor smoothly but it is stopping abruptly each time, no matter what PID parameters I have selected. What else I can do?

It looks like you are using a speed that is faster than which at the motor can physically move.

In the position count mode, a destination count is computed every 1ms and the PID serves to make he motor go to that instant position. You can vew it in the Tracking channel in the chart.

What happens then, if you have the loop error detection disabled, is that the target destination grows higher than the one that the motor is at a given time. The slow down occurs in the Tracking but the motor is so fr behind that it is still trying to catch up. Eventually, the destination is reached and the motor stops abruptly.

Try using a slower speed.
