9.2 Setup software
9.2.1 General
This chapter describes the installation of the setup software DRIVE.EXE for the SERVOSTAR 600
digital servo amplifiers.
We offer training and familiarization courses on request.
9.2.1.1 Use as directed
The setup software is intended to be used for setting up and storing the operating parameters for
the SERVOSTAR 600 series of servo amplifiers. The attached servo amplifier can be setup with the
assistance of the software - during this process the drive can be controlled directly by the service
functions.
Only professional personnel who have the relevant expertise described on page 7
are permitted to carry out online parameter setting for a drive which is running.
Sets of data which are stored on data media are not safe against unintended
alteration by other persons. After loading a set of data you must therefore check all
parameters
thoroughly before enabling the servo amplifier.
9.2.1.2 Software description
The servo amplifiers must be adapted to the requirements of your installation. Usually you will not
have to carry out this parameter setting yourself on the amplifier, but on a PC, with the assistance of
the setup software. The PC is connected to the servo amplifier by a null-modem cable (see p.69) .
The setup software provides the communication between SERVOSTAR 600 and the PC.
You will find the setup software on the accompanying CD-ROM and at our web site.
With very little effort you can alter parameters and instantly observe the effect on the drive, since
there is a continuous (online) connection to the amplifier.
Simultaneously, important actual values are read out from the amplifier and displayed on the PC
monitor (oscilloscope function).
Any interface modules (expansion cards) which may be built into the amplifier are automatically rec
-
ognized, and the additional parameters which are required for position control or motion-block defi
-
nition are made available.
Sets of data can be stored on data media (archived) and loaded again. Sets of data which are
stored on data media can be printed.
We supply you with motor-specific default sets of data for the most common combinations of servo
amplifier and motor. In most applications you will be able to use these default values to get your
drive running without any problems.
An extensive online help with integrated description of all variables and functions supports you in
each situation.
