5.2.2. Installing EasyMotion Studio

EasyMotion Studio is an integrated development environment for the setup and motion

programming of Technosoft intelligent drives. It comes with an Update via Internet tool through

which you can check if your software version is up-to-date, and when necessary download and

install the latest updates.

A demo version of EasyMotion Studio including the fully functional version of EasySetUp

can be downloaded free of charge from Technosoft web page.

EasyMotion Studio is delivered on a CD. Once you have started the installation package, follow

its indications. After installation, use the update via internet tool to check for the latest updates.

Alternately, you can first install the demo version and then purchase a license. By introducing the

license serial number in the menu command Help | Enter registration info..., you can transform

the demo version into a fully functional version.

Using EasyMotion Studio you can quickly do the setup and the motion programming of a

Technosoft a drive according with your application needs. The drive can be:

directly connected with your PC via a serial RS 232 link

any drive from a CANbus network where the PC is serially linked with one of the other drives.

The output of the EasyMotion Studio is a set of setup data and a motion program, which can be

downloaded to the drive/motor EEPROM or saved on your PC for later use.

EasyMotion Studio includes a set of evaluation tools like the Data Logger, the Control Panel and

the Command Interpreter which help you to quickly develop, test, measure and analyze your

motion application.

EasyMotion Studio works with projects. A project contains one or several Applications.

Each application describes a motion system for one axis. It has 2 components: the Setup data

and the Motion program and an associated axis number: an integer value between 1 and 255. An

application may be used either to describe:

1. One axis in a multiple-axis system

2. An alternate configuration (set of parameters) for the same axis.

In the first case, each application has a different axis number corresponding to the axis ID of the

drives/motors from the network. All data exchanges are done with the drive/motor having the

same address as the selected application. In the second case, all the applications have the same

axis number.

The setup component contains all the information needed to configure and parameterize a

Technosoft drive. This information is preserved in the drive/motor EEPROM in the setup table.

The setup table is copied at power-on into the RAM memory of the drive/motor and is used during

runtime.
