Setup software

9.2.1

General

This chapter describes the installation of the setup software DRIVEGUI.EXE for the
SERVOSTAR 300 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 altering and saving the operating
parameters for the SERVOSTAR 300 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 7
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.
9.2.1.2

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, see p.75). The setup software provides the com-
munication between the PC and SERVOSTAR 300.
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 (oscilloscope functions).
Any interface modules (expansion cards) which may be built into the amplifier are auto-
matically recognized, and the additional parameters which are required for position con-
trol or motion-block definition are made available.
You can save sets of data on data media (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 online help with integrated description of all variables and functions sup-
ports you in each situation.
