From here, the machine user is able to manually jog the prime movers that power the actions of this machine. This screen also contains the status of the selected servo drive, including Actual Position, Max Position Error, Max Torque and State – Enabled, Disabled, or Faulted. All Jogging functions are made in a manual mode, which means that no automatic functions govern their movements.

To manually move a component that is driven by a servo motor, the user must define which servo axis they want to jog and select it from the servo axis drop down list. Once the machine is started and in the ready state and manual mode, the user may jog the servo axis in the desired direction. The State and Mode is displayed in the bottom left hand corner next to the Drive Status Display. Other servo jogging features include velocity, Go To Position (which sends the axis to that position), and an alternating jog function. Unlike non servo controlled motors and solenoid valves, a servo axis will only travel while the button is depressed. Once the button is released the axis will stop.

Warning: Jogging should be done very carefully and at a low velocity. This will eliminate damage to any obstructed machine parts. Use the jog velocity sliding bar to adjust velocity.

To manually move a component that is driven by a Solenoid Valve, the user must find which solenoid valve controls the component and select it from the solenoid valve drop down list. Once the machine is started and in the ready state and manual mode, the user may jog the solenoid valve in the desired direction. The State and Mode is displayed in the bottom left hand corner next to the Drive Status Display. Once a solenoid valve jog button is depressed, the valve will move in that direction until another direction button or a stop button is depressed.

To manually move a component that is driven by a non servo motor, the user must define which motor they want to jog and select it from the motor drop down list. Once the machine is started and in the ready state and manual mode, the user may jog the motor in the desired direction. The State and Mode is displayed in the bottom left hand corner next to the Drive Status Display. Once a motor jog button is depressed, the motor will continue to run in that direction until the “Stop” button is depressed or the machine is externally stopped (Cycle Stop or Emergency Stop).
