Picture 4 –24V inputs for Miniaction 300 and 500
Miniaction 300 and 500 need an external 24V power supply to power their logic control
board, so you must provide it. In the above picture you can see an example of the
cabling. There is also the cabling for an analog input.
After all the power and feedback cabling are done, you need to connect the control
inputs.
Miniactions 200 and 400, to start spinning the motor, need the Enable command high,
which means that the digital input 1 must be connected to a 24V.
Miniactions 300 and 500, to start spinning, need the T_Enable and V_Enable command
enabled, which means that the digital input 8 and 9 needs to be connected to a 24V.
First Set UP Brushless Motor –Miniaction 200 and 300
The Miniaction controller doesn’t know what motor is connected to it. So, when
connected for the first time, it needs to be initialized with the right variables.
Conceptually the steps needed are the following:
1. Set Motor Type
2. Set Gains
3. Calibrate Resolver
You can do it in 2 different ways: using the optional HDMI unit, or by using the software
Minime connecting the Miniaction to a computer using a RS485 to USB converter. See
the manuals to how to create the connection.
With the PC software the setup is easy and the software offers also opportunity to test
the system thoroughly.
