Setup software PDRIVE
This chapter describes the installation of the setup software PDrive for the PMCprimo Drive2.

The programming is described in the PMCprimo programming manual.
Both manuals can be found on the CD-ROM PMCprimo Motion Control Tools.
10.2.1
Use as directed
The setup software PDRIVE is intended to be used for setting up and storing the operational
parameters for the PMCprimo Drive2.
Only professional personnel who have the relevant expertise described on page 11 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 PMCprimo Drive2.
10.2.2
Software description
The parameters of the PMCprimo Drive2 must be adapted to the requirements of the installation.
This parametrization is done with the setup software PDrive which provides the communication
between PC and PMCprimo Drive2.
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 drive.
With the tool PSCOPE you can easily watch the drive's current, the speed and the position error.
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 all the reasonable combinations of
PMCprimo Drive2 and motor. In most applications you will be able to use these default values to
get your drive running without any problems.

The PC interface (X6, RS232) of the PMCprimo Drive2 is connected to the serial interface of the
