Motors On signal

riskomt

Hi, I would like to ask, how long has to be the system input signal from PLC for motors on. From the manual its not really understandable. Theres just the scheme but what does it mean ? Does it mean that the signal has to end before the motors go on ? And how long shall the signal be ? I need the time, what could be the shortest signal time for it to accept and turn on the motors. For example, the signal should be 50ms for the robot to accept it. Or the signal should be on until it turns the motors on... I just cant figure it out from the manual and I cant test it.

In our application we have set the motors on signal high for 3 seconds. I don't know why the signal has to be high that long, but it works.

Hi, 
usually the signal of the "MotorsOn" it has to be to 1 up to when the exit "MotorOnState" some robot assumes the value 1. You can also try him/it turning on the motors in manual, you will see that from the moment in which you Reward the Dead man, first it will climb the exit "RunChainOk" and immediately after the exit "MotorOnState." 
I hope for Good Day to have been useful.

Well, I decided that the safest way to do the communication, is to set the signal on, until the robot gives feedback that he has the motors on, but for logic aplications I would recommend to use a signal for about 1 second, and then try it a few times until the robot says he has the motors on, and when not, write an error. Also the error could be done by setting the signal and waiting a specific amount of time, and if no motors on signal from irc comes back, write the error.
