Hookup Tests

Use

Hookup Tests

to verify proper hookup of the feedback device and to determine motor and feedback polarity.

All tests that appear on

Hookup Tests

have

Start

,

Stop

,

Information

and

Accept Test Result

controls. Most tests display test results that are output from test execution. Axis configuration and feedback configuration affect which tests are applicable and the specific test results returned.The controls on this dialog box are enabled in online mode and when the axis is Servo Off.All controls on this page appear dimmed under these conditions:

If the project is offline.
If the project is online and the drive associated to the axis does not support the attribute or Hookup Test.

If you execute a Hookup test and the controller is then taken offline, the test results are cleared the next time this page is enabled online. The test results data is monitored only in the software.

To access

Hookup Tests,

select

Hookup Tests

in the tree view. Or, select

Test

(Test Polarity and Test Marker) on the

Polarity

and

Homing

pages, respectively.

The default test selection depends on the Feedback configuration selected. If a test is not applicable for a configuration, the tab for that test does not display on

Hookup Tests

.

Only parameters specific to the hookup test appear.

Parameter	Description
Test Type Tab	Select the type of test you wish to perform by clicking the applicable tab.
Test Distance	Enter the value that specifies the amount of position units the motor moves to perform the selected test. The default value is 1. Test Distance appears dimmed in offline mode and in online mode when the axis is Servo On.
Test Speed	Enter the Test Speed.
Test Time	Enter the value in seconds to change the test time used when performing a Hookup Test. The default value is 10. Test Distance and Test Time are mutually exclusive. The appropriate control displays depending on the Axis Configuration and Feedback Configuration.
Start	Select Start to initiate the test operation. Selecting Start issues a Motion Direct Command to the controller and validates any parameters used by the Motion Direct Command before starting (for example, Test Time, Test Distance). If the Motion Direct Command does not execute due to an error condition, an error message appears. You must tune the axis in order for the test to complete. Select Yes on the page. Upon test completion, a confirmation appears asking to confirm the direction the axis moved. Select Yes , No , or Cancel . If you select: Yes - performs a set of calculations as part of the test. No - performs calculations not related to the test. Cancel - stops the test execution. Start appears dimmed in: offline mode online mode when the axis is Servo On online mode when the test is executing
Stop	Ends a test operation. Stop appears dimmed: in offline mode in online mode when the axis is Servo On in online mode when the test is in the Ready, Error, or Complete states when a test has not started executing
Warning Message	Displays warning messages, for example, DANGER: Starting this test may initiate axis motion with the controller in program mode. The warning message appears dimmed in offline mode or in online mode when the axis is Servo On.
Test State	Indicates the status of the testing operation. Valid test states include: Ready Executing Failed Passed The default state is Ready. The test state appears dimmed in offline mode and in online mode when the axis is Servo On.
Message Text	Displays informational and error messages applicable to the test state. If the test failed, an error occurred during the test execution. The message appears dimmed in offline mode and in online mode when the axis is Servo On.
Test Results	Two columns of information that display the current state of the attribute and the test results after the test is run. The test results appear dimmed in offline mode and in online mode when the axis is Servo On.
Accept Test Results	Select to commit the values from the Tests Results column to the attribute, causing the Current Values column to update. The Test Result values are copied into the applicable attributes. Accept Test Results appears dimmed in offline mode and in online mode when the axis is Servo On.
Axis State	Displays the current state of the axis. Available values include: Unconnected Precharge Stopped Starting Running Testing Stopping Aborting Faulted Start Inhibited Shutdown Axis Inhibited Not Grouped No Module
Safety State	Displays the current state of the CIP safety drive. Available values include: Unknown (no motion connection) Self-Testing Configured (No Safety Connection) Self-Testing Failed Running Not Running Recoverable Fault Unrecoverable Fault Configuring Not Configured (Torque Permitted) Not Running (Torque Permitted)
Safe Torque Off Bypassed	This warning displays when the drive is a CIP Safety drive and Safety State is Not Configured (Torque Permitted) or Not Running (Torque Permitted).
Manual Tune	Opens Manual Tune to perform the manual tune function and run the drive.
