3.2.6 Step #4: Initialize Commutation
This step of the axis setup wizard is used to select the commutation parameters. If the commutation mode is
set to sinusoidal, then the initialize phase button should be clicked after all the parameters have been
correctly set and before any motion is attempted or the open loop start button is pressed. Please see chapter
12 in the Navigator Motion Processor User’s Guide for further information on phase initialization.
3.2.7 Step #4a: Check Commutation
The commutation may be verified by running the motor in open loop mode. Set the motor command
parameter to a low value between 1% and 15%, keeping in mind that the motor may start to move at a rate
proportional to the motor command setting. Click the open loop start button. If the motor is commutat-
ing properly, motion should occur in a single direction. Click the stop button to stop motion.
