10.2 Setup software

This chapter describes the installation of the setup software DRIVEGUI.EXE for the S700
digital servo amplifiers.
We offer training and familiarization courses on request.

10.2.1 Use as directed

The setup software is intended to be used for altering and saving the operating parameters for
the S700 series of servo amplifiers. The attached servo amplifier can be set up with the help
of this software, and during this procedure the drive can be controlled directly by the service
functions.
Only professional personnel who have the relevant expertise described on page (➜ # 13) are
permitted to carry out online parameter setting for a drive that is running.
Sets of data that have been stored on data media are not safe against unintended alteration
by other persons. After loading a set of data you must therefore always check all parameters
before enabling the servo amplifier.

10.2.2 Software description

The servo amplifiers must be adapted to the requirements of your machine. 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 (serial, (➜ # 104)). The setup software provides the communication between
the PC and S700.
You can find the setup software on the accompanying CD-ROM and in the download area of
our website.
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. At the same time, important
actual values are read out from the amplifier and displayed on the monitor of the PC (oscil-
loscope functions).
Any expansion cards built into the amplifier are automatically recognized, and the additional
parameters which are required for position control or motion-block definition are made avail-
able.
You can save sets of data on data media or on the memory card (archiving) and load them
again. You can also print out the data sets.
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
you in each situation.
