How should Positioning Modules be evaluated?
A positioning module is specified from travel, resolution, homing method, pulse or network interface and PLC compatibility. The field boundary defined by PLC platform and axis interface is tested during Cut-to-length feeding with measured field values; Pulse-to-distance scaling records that selection test.
No final part number is proposed for Cut-to-length feeding until Target resolution and maximum frequency is verified with measured field values and Pulse-to-distance scaling is prepared.
Target resolution and maximum frequency, Home, limit and registration inputs and PLC platform and axis interface are compared with measured field values through Cut-to-length feeding, Dosing and indexing tables and Simple linear transfer axes respectively.
