The parameters for a Control Techniques UNI2402 Unidrive Servo can be input using the on-board keypad, a remote keypad, or through UniSoft, a Windows-based configuration software tool. The drive has logically organized menus where parameters can be set.
To input parameters: 1. Use the keypad to navigate through the menus. 2. Select the required function from the logically organized menus. 3. Adjust the parameter values as needed. 4. Save the changes to apply the new settings.
For a Rover 346, specific motor and operational parameters should be set according to the motor’s requirements, such as speed limits, acceleration/deceleration times, braking mode, and PID control settings. If using UniSoft, connect the drive to a PC and configure it through the software interface.
