Conversion<br />

Example<br />

Using a Parker 406-LXR-M-D15-E2 linear motor, the electrical pitch is 42mm<br />

(DMEPIT42) <strong>and</strong> the encoder is 1 micron. Here, we will convert an acceleration of<br />

10 inches/sec 2 , a velocity of 5 inches/sec, <strong>and</strong> a distance of 20 inches:<br />

1. Calculate ERES in counts/rev (result is ERES42000):<br />

1000 000 counts 1 ( m)<br />

42 ( mm)<br />

2. Convert an acceleration of 10 inches/sec 2 to its rotary equivalent in revs/sec 2 :<br />

1 25.4 ( mm)<br />

Accel rotary ( rpss)<br />

= × × 10 ( in / s<br />

2 ) = 6. 0476 rpss<br />

3. Convert a velocity of 5 inches/sec to its rotary equivalent in revs/sec:<br />

1 25.4 ( mm)<br />

Velocity rotary ( rps)<br />

= × × 5 ( in / s)<br />

= 3. 0238 rps<br />

The program values resulting from these conversions are:<br />

ERES42000 ; Set encoder resolution to 42000 counts/rev<br />

A6.0476 ; Set acceleration to 6.0476 revs/sec/sec<br />

; (10 inches/sec/sec)<br />

V3.0238 ; Set velocity to 3.0238 revs/sec (5 inches/sec)<br />

D508000 ; Set distance to 508,000 counts (20 inches)<br />
