Standstill monitoring

Standstill monitoring

Function

Standstill monitoring represents one of the most comprehensive mechanisms for monitoring axes. This monitoring function checks to see whether the following error has reached the standstill tolerance limit after a parameterizable time has elapsed. After positioning has been completed, standstill monitoring takes over from position monitoring, and checks to see whether the axis moves further from its position than specified in the machine data's standstill tolerance field.

The standstill monitoring function is always active following expiration of the zero speed delay time or when reaching the fine exact stop limit as long as no new traversing command is pending. When the monitoring function responds, an alarm is generated and the relevant axis/spindle brought to standstill with rapid stop along a speed setpoint ramp.

Standstill monitoring is effective for linear and rotary axes as well as for position-controlled spindles. Standstill monitoring is inactive in the follow-up mode.
