Installation Test; Testing The Pd Drive - Parker P Series User Manual

3.9 Installation Test

Once you have made the necessary mechanical and electrical connections, you can test
the drive. The PD drives Support Tool contains the easy configuration, which exercises
basic functions of the PD drives.
You must do the following before testing the drive:
• Configure the drive for the motor to which it is connected. Resolve any configuration
errors before proceeding with the test.
• Enable the drive.
• If the PD drive is connected to a controller, disable the controller's servo loop.
• If the motor is connected to a load, disconnect the motor so that it is free to turn
unimpeded.
Warning
High-performance motion control equipment is capable of producing rapid movement and
very high forces. Unexpected motion may occur especially during the development of
controller programs. KEEP WELL CLEAR of any machinery driven by stepper or servo
motors. Never touch any part of the equipment while it is in operation.

3.9.1 Testing the PD Drive

If the PD drive has been installed correctly, the motor will spin at one
revolution per second. If the motor does not spin, a wiring or configuration
error possibly exists.
