commissioning, troubleshooting, diagnostics and service activities.
Precondition
● Online operation of the STARTER commissioning tool.
Diagnostic functions
The following diagnostic functions are available in the STARTER commissioning tool:

● Analyzing the control response with the measuring function
● Outputting voltage signals for external measuring devices via test sockets
4.2.1

Function generator

The function generator is part of the STARTER commissioning tool.
The ramp-function generator can be used, for example, for the following tasks:
● To measure and optimize control loops.
● To compare the dynamic response of coupled drives.
● To specify a simple traversing profile without a traversing program.
The ramp-function generator can be used to generate different signal shapes.
In the "Connector output" operating mode (r4818), the output signal can be injected into the
control loop via the BICO interconnection.
For vector control, corresponding to the selected operating mode, this setpoint can also be
fed into the control structure as, for example, a current setpoint, disturbing torque, or current
setpoint. The impact of superimposed control loops is automatically suppressed.
