Today, ZMotion shares how to debug through ZDevelop program software. | Intelligent Equipment Between LabVIEW And ECI2828 EtherCAT Motion Control Card.

Let's begin, learn together !

④  The origin signal mapping interface and origin point interface are described as follows.

(1) Connect ZDevelop to controller through net port.

In the top "menu bar", click "Controller" -- "Connect", then, below window will appear. Enter controller IP address (default: 192.168.0.11). At last, click "connect" button to achieve communication with controller.

(2) Check basic axis parameters information

After connecting to controller successfully, there is one "axis parameter" window in the right part. You can watch whether axis parameters of upper computer are set through data here.

In addition, one important information can be checked here. When axis acts abnormally, we can analysis through the parameter "AxisStatus"

If we find there is alarm for axis 0 (red 200h), we can check "AxisStatus" parameter in ZBasic Program Manual, usually, 200h means axis exceeds positive software position limit.

(3) Manual motion debug window

Also, in the top "menu bar", click "View" -- "Manual". We can do point control for axis in this window, then check whether hardware wiring of each axis are correct.

(4) Inputs and outputs watch window

In the menu bar, click "View" -- "In" / "Op" to open below two windows. Then, input and output information of controller can be watched through these windows.

(5) Oscilloscope function

The oscilloscope function in ZDevelop can capture the waveform of some parameters, such as, axis position (DPOS), axis speed (Mspeed), inputs & outputs (IN / OP), analog inputs & outputs (AIN / AOUT), etc.

In menu bar, "View" -- "Scope".

Channel numbers and others all can be set through "Config" button.

Next, according to above oscilloscope configuration, we capture the position and speed waveform in the axis X homing process of LabVIEW single-axis homing routine.

→ The result:

(6) Analog input and output watch window

In menu bar, "View" -- "AD / DA", analog input and output information can be watched.

(7) Check remote IO expansion information

In menu bar. "Controller" -- "State the controller", controller status and information of expansion equipment can be checked.

(8) Quickly diagnose and debug EtherCAT servo

Enter "?*ethercat" in "command and output" to check each EtherCAT servo status.

→ EtherCAT servo status description:

What's more, connect bus diagnosis tool of ZDevelop to controller to check and judge current connection status.

(9) ZDevelop software debug video.
