9. Adjustment of the DC spindle drive unit.
All necessary adjustments of the drive unit are implemented by the
manufacturer. Readjustment may be done when it is needed. For this purpose
variable resistors are employed and test points are implaned to facilitate
observation of the most important signals.
Table 4 shows the designation of the variable resistors.
Table 5 shows the designation of the test points.
The location of the variable resistors and test points is shown in fig.9.

9.1. Test equipment.
Test equipment required for setting and adjustment of the DC spindle servo
unit is as follows:
1. DC voltmeter.
2. Variable DC voltage generator with range ±10V and output impedance up
to 2 kΩ.

9.2. Adjusment method.

When the DC spindle drive unit is installed and the power and interface
cables are connected the following steps have to be performed for it proper
adjustment:
1. Short jumpers J202 and J203 .
This makes the velocity and armature current regulators proportional.
2. Disable the TG tacho loss protection turning OFF the coresponding switch
located at the DS801 DIP switches.
3. Disconnect the Utg1 signal. This disables the speed feedback.
4. Turn ON the power.
Check the rotation of the fan motor. If it is not correct, turn OFF the power
and exchange two of fan motor power supply phases.
Then turn ON the power again.
5. The RD (Ready) LED has to light.
If it is not, there is some trouble or wrong connection.
Turn OFF the power and check all connections again.
6. After the RD (Ready) LED is lighted give the ON (firing control) signal.
The ON LED is lighted and the thyristors are fired.
7. Give Uref1 (velocity command) signal. The motor begins to rotate.
Change the polarity of the Uref1 signal. The direction of the motor rotation
has to be changed.
8. Check the polarities of the voltages at the CP204 test point and of the
Utg1 signal. They has to be opposite. If they are not, exchange the
connections of the tachogenerator.
9. Turn OFF the power supply.
Connect the Utg1 signal to the X2-5 pin.
Open the J202 and J203 jumpers.
10. Turn ON the power supply.
Use the P203 variable resistor to adjust the speed controler gain and the P202
variable resistor to adjust the ramp generator according the mechanical load.
