Measuring functions (manual tuning)

Explanation of the measuring functions

A range of measuring functions allows the time and frequency response of drives and controls

to be displayed in graphical form on the screen. For this purpose, test signals with an adjustable

interval are connected to the drives.

The measuring functions are located under "Commissioning" → "Optimization/Test". The current

controller, speed controller, and position controller horizontal softkeys provide access to the

dialogs for each corresponding control loop. The screen navigation, screen layout, and general

logic are identical in each of the three areas. The difference between the areas is that each area

on the relevant control loop offers tailored measurements.

Measurement parameters and signal parameters

The test setpoints are adapted to the application in question by means of measurement or signal

parameters, the units of which are determined by the relevant measuring function or operating

mode. The default setting for all parameters is 0.

The measurement or signal parameter units are subject to the following conditions:

10.4 Measuring functions (manual tuning)

Preconditions for starting measuring functions

To ensure that no erroneous traversing movements due to part programs can be carried out, the

measuring functions have to be started in <JOG> mode.

NOTICE

Avoiding collisions

When traversing movements are carried out within the framework of measuring functions, no

software limit switches and working area limitations are monitored, since these are carried out

in follow-up mode.

Prior to starting traversing movements, the user must therefore ensure that the axes are

positioned such that the traversing limits specified within the framework of the measuring

functions are sufficient to prevent collision with the machine.

Starting measuring functions

Measuring functions initiating a traversing movement are only selected using the specific

softkey. The actual start of the measuring function and thus of the traversing movement is

always carried out with <NC-START> on the machine control panel.

If the main screen of the measuring function is exited without the traversing movement being

initiated, the selection of the traversing function is canceled.

Once the traversing function has been started, the main screen can be exited without any affect

on the traversing movement.

Note

<JOG> mode must be selected when measuring functions are started.

Further safety notices

When using the measuring functions, it must be ensured:

• There are no obstacles in the traversing range.

• The Emergency Stop button is always within reach.

Canceling measuring functions

The following events will cancel active measuring functions:

• Hardware limit switch reached

• Traversing range limits exceeded

• Emergency Stop

• Reset (mode group, channel)

• NC STOP

10.4.1

Measurement of current control loop

Function

The current control loop only needs to be measured for diagnostic purposes if there is a fault or

if there is no standard data for the motor / power unit combination (third-party motor).

For SINAMICS S120, it is possible to measure the input/output behavior of the current control

loop directly in the speed controller without needing to open it. For this reason, measurements

in the speed controller are preferable. The user is made aware of this advantage as red text in the

center of the "Measurement selection" dialog.

The preferred method for measuring the dynamic response of the current controller is the

"Reference frequency response with active speed controller" measuring type. The other

measuring types are only for experts or for comparison measurements of motors not decoupled

from the mechanical components.

NOTICE

Safety measures for hanging/suspended axes

For hanging/suspended axes, measuring the current control loop requires that users apply

special safety measures, for instance:

• Perform the measurement using external weight compensation.

• Perform the measurement without external weight compensation, e.g. by safely and

reliably clamping/locking the drive.

Measurement parameters:

- Amplitude: Magnitude of the test signal amplitude.

Given in percent of the peak torque. Values from 1 % to 5 % are suitable.

- Bandwidth: The frequency range analyzed with the measurement.

The bandwidth depends on the current controller sampling time.

Example: Sample time: 125 μs, bandwidth: 4000 Hz

Speed control loop measurement

Function

The response characteristics for the motor measurement system are analyzed when measuring

the speed control loop. Various measurement parameter lists are available depending on the

basic measurement setting which has been selected.

The predefined processes for the speed control loop are listed below. As in the current controller

range, the excitation and measurement signals in the speed controller range refer to the

SINAMICS S120 drive. The speed controller measurements differ in terms of the excitation,

which can either be a disturbing torque, a speed setpoint before the filter or a speed setpoint

after the filter. This is comparable with parameter p0480 for values 2, 3 or 5.

A distinction is made in the table between the input node and the excitation point. The input

node only determines which signal is considered as the input for the subordinate system to be

measured.

10.4.5

Examples for the measuring methods (position control loop)

Measuring type: Reference frequency response

The reference frequency response measurement determines the transfer behavior of the

position controller in the frequency range. The position actual value is taken from the active

measuring system. The setpoint filters, control loop gain and feedforward control must be

parameterized so that resonance is avoided wherever possible over the entire frequency range.

Measurement parameters:

• Amplitude

This parameter determines the magnitude of the test signal amplitude. It should be set to the

smallest possible value, e.g. 0.01 mm

• Bandwidth

The bandwidth parameter is used to set the analyzed frequency range. The larger this value,

the finer the frequency resolution and the longer the measurement time. The maximum

value is specified by the position controller cycle (T_{position controller}):

Bandwidth_max [Hz] = 1 / (2 * T_{position controller} [s])

Example:

- Position controller cycle: 2 ms

- Bandwidth_max = 1 / (2 * 2*10^-3) = 250 Hz

• Averaging

The accuracy of the measurement and in turn the measurement duration increase with this

value. A value of 4 is normally adequate.

• Settling time

This value represents the delay between recording of the measured data and injection of the

test setpoint and offset. A value of between 0.2 s and 1 s is recommended. Do not set too low

a value for the settling times or the frequency response and phase diagrams will be distorted.

• Offset

The measurement requires a speed offset of a few motor revolutions per minute. The offset

must be set such that no speed zero crossings occur at the set amplitude, and that the axis

continually moves in one direction.

Measuring type: Setpoint step and setpoint ramp

The transient and the positioning response of the position control in the time domain, and in

particular the effect of setpoint filters, can be assessed with the step and ramp excitation

functions.

Setpoint step:

To avoid overloading the machine mechanical system, for the "Setpoint step" measuring type,

the step amplitude is limited to the following value:

MD32000 $MA_MAX_AX_VELO (maximum axis velocity)

Setpoint ramp:

processes.

Figure 10-6

Signal characteristic for position control

With measuring type "Setpoint ramp", the following machine data influences the measurement

result:

• MD32000 $MA_MAX_AX_VELO (maximum axis velocity)

The maximum axis velocity limits the ramp gradient (velocity limitation). The drive does not

reach the programmed end position (amplitude).

• MD32300 $MA_MAX_AX_ACCEL (maximum axis acceleration)

The maximum axis acceleration limits the velocity change (acceleration limitation).

CAUTION

Protection of the machine

In normal cases the machine data corresponds exactly with the load capacity of the machine

kinematics and should not be changed (increased) as part of the measurements:

• MD32000 $MA_MAX_AX_VELO (maximum axis velocity)

• MD32300 $MA_MAX_AX_ACCEL (maximum axis acceleration)

Measurement parameters: Setpoint step and setpoint ramp

The transient and the positioning response of the position control in the time domain, and in

particular the effect of setpoint filters, can be assessed with the step and ramp excitation

functions.

Measurement parameters:

• Amplitude

Determines the amplitude of the specified setpoint step or setpoint ramp.

• Rise time

This parameter determines the period of time to be recorded (maximum 2048 position

controller cycles).

10.4 Measuring functions (manual tuning)

• Settling time

This value represents the delay between measured data recording / test setpoint output and

the injection of the offset.

• Rise time

The position setpoint is specified with the "Setpoint ramp" basic setting according to the

selected ramp duration.

• Offset

The step is stimulated from standstill or starting from the constant traverse speed set in this

parameter. If an offset value other than zero is input, the test excitation takes place during the

traverse. For the sake of clarity, the displayed position actual value does not include this

constant component.

Function generator

Function description

The function generator can be used, for example, to perform the following tasks:

• Measuring and optimizing closed-loop control circuits

• Comparing the dynamic properties of coupled drives

• Specifying a straightforward traversing profile without traversing program

The function generator can be used to generate various signal forms.

In the Servo mode, the setpoint can additionally be supplied into the control structure in

accordance with the currently selected mode, for example, as a current setpoint, disturbing

torque or speed setpoint. Any influence of overlaid closed-loop control circuits is suppressed

automatically.

Circularity test

10.6.1

Circularity test: Function

Benefits

The circularity test serves to set and assess the dynamic response for interpolating axes and to

analyze the contour accuracy on the quadrant transitions (circular contours) achieved by means

of friction compensation. The circularity test is used to check the interpolation of the axes which

work together. This function measures a circle with reference to the motor or to the direct

measuring system. Alignment of the machine-mechanical equipment is not taken into account

in the result. This gives the commissioning engineer the option of separating problems with the

controller tuning from mechanical problems.

The following axis machine data and parameters are checked with this procedure:

• MD32200, MD32400, MD32402, MD32410, MD32490, MD32500, MD32510, MD32520,

MD32540 MD32620, MD32640, MD32810, MD32900, MD32910, MD32930, MD32940

• p1421 bis p1426, p1400, p1433, p1434

The following compensations should be disabled if this procedure is carried out:

• MD32450 backlash compensation

• MD32500 friction compensation

• MD32700 leadscrew error compensation

• MD32710 Enable sag compensation

• MD32750 Temperature compensation type

Note

MD32450 $MA_BACKLASH: Backlash compensation must be adjusted using an external device,

such as a circularity test or gauge.

10.6 Circularity test

Result

The best contour results are achieved when the circular form test results are in the correct actual

size, shape and minimum p/p deviation between a combined interpolation of the axes (X-Y, X-Z,

Y-Z).

An NC program in the MDA operating mode and the circularity test function are used to measure

and evaluate these results. The "worst case" of a circle radius and the path velocity must lead to

a realistic radial acceleration of which the machine is capable.

Circularity tests of machine manufacturers usually use a radius of 100 mm or 150 mm with

feedrate speeds that are determined by the machine manufacturer. The machine manufacturer

determines the specifications for an acceptable result.

High-speed processes generally have higher requirements for testing circles with high-speed

milling machines and can range from circle radii of 10 - 25 mm and feedrates of 5 - 10 m/min.

For high-speed milling machines, the results are generally acceptable if the P/P deviation

≤ 0.010 mm and the actual size of the circle is equal to the programmed radius - or in the worst-

case scenario - to the path velocity.

10.6 Circularity test

Enter the following parameters to carry out a measurement:

• "Measurement": Selection of the two axes that are intended to be measured and selection

of the measurement system. Parked encoders are not displayed for selection.

• "Parameter": The parameter settings in the "Radius" and "Feed" input fields must correspond

to the values from the part program that controls the circular motion of the axes, taking

account of the feed override switch setting.

• "Representation": Parameters for displaying the graphics

- "Resolution" (scaling) of the diagram axes in [mm/scaled]

- "Display" via the mean radius or programmed radius

Perform measurement

Procedure:

1. In the "Commissioning" operating area select the "Optim./test" softkey → "Circularity test"

softkey.

2. Select the axes that are intended to be measured with the <SELECT> key or with the "Axis

+"/"Axis -" softkeys.

3. Set the parameters for the measurement: "Radius" and "Feed"

The "Measurement time" display field shows the measurement time calculated from the

"Radius" and "Feed" values for recording the actual position values during the circular

movement:

If the measurement time is not sufficient then only parts of the circle are portrayed. The

measurement time can be increased by reducing the feed value. This also applies if the

circularity test is started from the stationary condition.

4. Set the parameters for displaying the graphic:

If the measurement time calculated from this exceeds the time range that can be displayed

(maximum measurement time = position controller cycle frequency * 2048), an appropriate

sample time is calculated for recording (n * position controller cycle frequency), so that a

complete circle can be displayed.

5. To automatically generate a program, with which you traverse the selected axes, press

softkey "Generate circle program". The program is displayed for checking purposes and must

be confirmed. Ensure that the axes can be traversed according to the program and that the

traversing paths are free.

6. To start the measurement, press the "Start" softkey. The softkeys cannot be used while the

measurement is being performed - with the exception of the "Stop" softkey.

Machine data for setpoint filter:

• MD32402 $MC_AX_JERK_MODE = Type 2 is recommended, type 1 is preset for compatibility

reasons. Parameterizing a pure band-stop filter is expressly not recommended.

• MD32402 $MA_AX_JERK_MODE (filter type) and MD32410 $MA_AX_JERK_TIME > 0 is

effective only if MD32400 $MA_AX_JERK_ENABLE = 1 is set.

10.7 Decision-making support for APC and APC ECO

10.7

Decision-making support for APC and APC ECO

Conditions for Advanced Position Control

There is a vibration on the load side of the axis (carriage, table) in the axis direction:

• The vibration is excited by the axis motion.

• The vibration is excited by the machining process (e.g. milling, first cut).

Software option

In order to use this function a license is required for the following option:

"Advanced Position Control" (6FC5800-0AM13-0YB0)

Criteria for Advanced Position Control

The vibration could also be reduced by a weaker speed controller:

p1460 Speed controller P gain adaptation speed, lower

Increase P gain

p1462 Speed controller integral time adaptation speed, lower Reduce integral time Tn

The noise suppression and dynamic behavior of the closed-loop controller worsens with a weak

speed controller. Disturbance variables, such as friction, then occur more often, especially with

reversing behavior (the quadrant on the circle worsens), and marks become visible on the

workpiece. Use the Advanced Position Control to find a compromise between noise suppression

and oscillation damping.

Conditions for Advanced Position Control ECO

The vibration could also be reduced by a weaker speed controller:

p1460 Speed controller P gain adaptation speed, lower

Increase P gain

p1462 Speed controller integral time adaptation speed, lower Reduce integral time Tn

This is, for example, possible if the gear factor is small or the spindle pitch is at least 10 mm.

Software option

In order to use this function a license is required for the following option:

"Advanced Position Control ECO" (6FC5800-0AM12-0YB0)

Criteria for Advanced Position Control ECO

If the above-mentioned conditions are fulfilled, perform the following steps:

1. Configure Advanced Position Control ECO to identify the frequency of the vibration: Approx.

30% accuracy is adequate.

2. Oscillation damping: Enter frequency, activate Advanced Position Control ECO and then

check the vibration response on the load side.

Drive tuning

10.7 Decision-making support for APC and APC ECO

If the oscillation reduction is not effective, another mode can be activated which can specifically

compensate machine base-related oscillation.

It is recommended first to deactivate the oscillation damping of junction ② and to activate the

APC filter for the machine base-related oscillation.

If the filters for the machine base-related oscillation are also ineffective, the causes may be:

1. The vibration does not occur in the axis direction.

2. The vibration cannot be measured on the motor.

3. The vibration is not measured with Advanced Position Control ECO.

For a machine equipped with SINUMERIK 840D sl and a second measuring system for the axis,

it is recommended to install the Advanced Position Control function module with two encoders.

Decision-making support

When is Advanced Position Control needed with a second encoder?

• If the damping achieved by "Advanced Position Control ECO" is inadequate.

• If the motor cannot attenuate the vibration - even with a weak speed controller.

Possible reasons:

• The leadscrew pitch is too small, e.g. 5 mm

• The Gear factor motor/load revolutions is very high, e.g. p0433 ≥ 30

• The drive train has too much self-locking.

• The Tool Center Point is so far from the motor that the vibrations can only be measured by

a nearby direct measuring system.

11.1.1

Backup of PLC data

PLC operating state

When creating a commissioning archive with PLC data, the PLC image that is saved during this

process depends on the operating state of the PLC at the time of creation:

• Original image

• Instantaneous image

• Inconsistent image

The operating state of the PLC can be changed in the following ways:

• With SIMATIC STEP 7 Manager

• With the PLC mode selector on the NCU:

Position " 2" → STOP, position " 0" → RUN

Operating sequence for original image

The original image of the PLC is represented by the PLC-data state immediately after loading the

S7 project into the PLC.

1. Set the PLC to the STOP operating state.

2. Load the appropriate S7 project into the PLC using SIMATIC Manager STEP 7.

3. Create a commissioning archive with PLC data.

4. Set the PLC to the RUN operating state.

319

Saving and managing data

11.1 Saving data

Operating sequence for instantaneous image

If you cannot create an original image, you can save an instantaneous image as an alternative.

1. Set the PLC to the STOP operating state.

2. Archive the PLC data.

3. Set the PLC to the RUN operating state.

Operating sequence for inconsistent image

An inconsistent image results if a commissioning file with PLC data is created and the PLC is in

the RUN state (cyclic operation). The data blocks of the PLC are saved at different times with

contents that have changed in the meanwhile. This may result in a data inconsistency that, once

the data backup has been copied back to the PLC, may under certain circumstances result in a

PLC stop in the PLC program.

NOTICE

Ensure data consistency

The creation of a commissioning file with PLC data while the PLC is in RUN state (cyclic

operation) may result in an inconsistent PLC image in the commissioning archive. After this

commissioning archive has been copied back, the data inconsistency in the PLC program may

under certain circumstances result in a PLC stop.

11.1.2

Creating a commissioning archive

Requirement

The following access levels are required:

• In order to create a commissioning archive, at least access level 4 (key-operated switch 3) is

required.

• In order to import a commissioning archive, at least access level 2 (service) is required.

It is not permissible that the default setting in MD11230 $MN_MD_FILE_STYLE is changed in

order to guarantee that a commissioning file with access level 2 (service) can be read in:

Generate line checksum and MD numbers.

To prevent a topology error, Control Unit parameter p9906 (topology comparison level of all

components) should be set to "Medium" in order to import a commissioning archive.

Creating a commissioning archive

Series commissioning means bringing a series of control systems to the same initial state as

regards their data. A commissioning archive contains NC, PLC, drive and HMI data.

Compensation data of the NC can also be optionally saved. For a data backup, the drive data is

saved as binary data that cannot be read.

11.2

Managing data

Application

The "Manage data" function is used to support and simplify the commissioning and provides

functions for backup, load and comparison of machine, setting, compensation and drive data.

In contrast to a commissioning archive, only a single control object (axis, channel, servo, infeed,

etc.) is saved in ASCII format (*.TEA). This file can be edited and transferred to other control

objects of the same type. The "Manage data" function is also the basis for copying DO for

SINAMICS drives.

Managing data

The "Manage data" function offers the following options:

• Transfer data within the controller

• Save data to a file

• Load data in a file

• Compare data

The function is called from "Commissioning" → "Machine data" → "Manage data".

Example of "Transfer data within the controller":

The following data can be saved and stored under the following absolute path on the

CompactFlash card:

• user/sinumerik/hmi/data/backup/ec for compensation data

• user/sinumerik/hmi/data/backup/md for machine data

• user/sinumerik/hmi/data/backup/sd for setting data

• user/sinumerik/hmi/data/backup/snx for SINAMICS parameters

Upgrading

Upgrade options

You have the following options of upgrading the CNC software:

• Automatic upgrade using USB-FlashDrive

• Upgrade using USB-FlashDrive

• Upgrade using WinSCP on PG/PC

• Upgrade using VNC Viewer on PG/PC

Note

An upgrade is possible as of CNC software 2.xx. An upgrade from other software versions is

not permitted. In this case, a new installation is required.

Before the upgrade, you can backup the complete CompactFlash card. Using Restore, you can

write back this backup to the CompactFlash card.

Data backup before upgrades

Carry out a data backup before each upgrade:

• Commissioning archive of NC/PLC/drive data

• Load the PLC project into the PC/PG (STEP 7)

• License key

When the software is upgraded, all user data is kept on the CompactFlash card in the directories /

user, /addon, /oem. The license key is kept as well.

Prior to overwriting a licensed CompactFlash card, a backup of the license key is absolutely

necessary. The key is available in file ‘keys.txt’ and is stored under the path keys/sinumerik. The

backup of the key can be performed, for example, with WinSCP, from the PG/PC.

Note

The licenses are permanently assigned to the CompactFlash card (card ID) and can only be used

on this card.

The license key can be read back via Web License Manager (Page 41) using the card number.

Automatic upgrading

For an automatic upgrade with autoexec.sh from the USB-FlashDrive, the CompactFlash card is

first backed up.

The backup file "card_img.tgz" is saved under the following directory:

/machines/[machine name+serial number of the CompactflashCard]

12.2

With the help of the "Create MyConfig" software

Precondition

The "Create MyConfig" software on PG/PC is the precondition to configure a package.

Basic procedure

The descriptions for automatically reinstalling/upgrading using Create MyConfig include the

basic steps for configuring and subsequent automatic execution at the control system. The

"Create MyConfig" software has integrated online help.

12.2.1

Reinstallation with Create MyConfig

Preconditions

The following preconditions must be met for the CompactFlash card of the NCU:

• The CompactFlash card of the NCU is empty or contains executable NCU software.

If any CNC software and possibly irrelevant user data are on the CompactFlash card, then

these are lost when the software is newly installed.

• You have a <name>.tgz file (cnc-sw.tgz ) with the actual software.

• You want to initiate a new installation of the NCU via a USB FlashDrive.

• If the CompactFlash card is empty or does not contain executable CNC software, you need a

USB FlashDrive with installed "NCU Service System".

Operating sequence

In order to configure a package for the reinstallation of the CNC software with "Create MyConfig

Expert":

1. Start the "Create MyConfig Expert" software.

With this software you configure an Installer package that initiates a reinstallation from the

USB Flashdrive to the CompactFlash card of the NCU.

2. Create a new project via the menu "Project" > "New".

5. In the context menu, select > right mouse button > "Edit mode for all dialog boxes" >

"Automatic".

6. In the "CNC software" window under "Installation", select the "New installation" mode.

7. For the file "<name>.tgz" you have the following options:

- The file is embedded in the project or linked to the project.

For the automatic reinstallation, insert the "<name>.tgz" file in the project under "CNC

software (*.tgz)". To do this, enter the name of the tgz file in the "Preselection" area.

- Copy the file to the USB FlashDrive in the root directory in which the package is stored

subsequently. The file is automatically selected while the package is running.

Enter the name with the prefix "./" <name>.tgz in the "Preselection" field under "CNC

software (*.tgz)":

New installation / upgrading

12.2 With the help of the "Create MyConfig" software

8. Create a package "<name>.usz" via the menu "File" > "Transfer" > "Linux package (NCU) and

select as target path the root directory of the USB FlashDrive.

Create MyConfig Expert saves the project, performs a validation run, creates and saves the

package under the specified target path.

A "<name>.usz" package is then located in the root directory of the USB FlashDrive.

Depending on the configuration in the previous step, the "<name>.tgz" file is also located

next to the package.

Note

The USB FlashDrive must only be bootable if the CompactFlash card of the NCU does not

contain executable CNC system software.

9. Insert the USB FlashDrive into a USB socket (X125 or X135) of the NCU.

10.Switch the control system off and on again.

Provided that when configuring you configured the "Edit mode of all dialogs" > "Automatic",

then the package is automatically executed when the control system boots-up. The dialogs

are displayed, but require no operator actions.

The CNC software has been installed once the package has been completed.

A logbook about the activities that have been performed can be saved. The logbook

documents all activities performed during the new installation.

11.Switch-off the control system.

12.Remove the USB FlashDrive.

13.Commissioning work can continue after the control system has been switched on.

Optional additional functions for the installation of the CNC software

In the same package - after the CNC software has been installed - the following actions can be

optionally configured, which can either run completely automatically or conditionally at the

machine:

• Loading an SDB Archive

• SINAMICS device configuration

• Renaming DO, SINAMICS components and DO numbers

• Assignment of the drives to NC axes

• Manipulation of display machine data

• Manipulation of individual NC and drive data

• Loading the PLC program or from individual blocks

• Installing software

• Copying, deleting and manipulating files on the CompactFlash card

• Conditional execution of actions, executing, deleting, copying and manipulating

• Messages and interactions to the operator

Upgrade with Create MyConfig

Introduction

Note

For details on upgrading the CNC software versions, read the "siemensd.rtf" (German) or

"siemense.rtf" (English) file on the product CD of Create MyConfig.

When the software is upgraded, all user data is kept on the CompactFlash card and in the control

areas NC, PLC, and drives. The NC and drive data is automatically transferred into the new CNC

software version. Archives neither have to be created nor imported again.

The "NCK commissioning switch" and "PLC mode selector switch" remain during the upgrade in

position "0".

In conjunction with an upgrade, using the same package, the automatic generation of a backup

can be configured, which is then stored on the USB FlashDrive. It is not necessary to first generate

an archive.

Note

After the CNC software has been upgraded, adaptations may be required. Using the Create

MyConfig Expert, these adaptations can also be configured and therefore automatically

executed.

For information about the necessary adaptations, please refer to the upgrade instructions of the

respective CNC software versions.

Operating sequence

In order to configure a package for the upgrade of the CNC software with "Create MyConfig

Expert":

1. You have started the "Create MyConfig Expert" software.

Using this software, you configure a package that initiates an upgrade of the CNC software

on the CompactFlash card of the NCU.

2. You have created a new project via the menu "Project" > "New".
