In order to operate the iPOS360x drives, you need to pass through 3 steps:
 Step 1 Hardware installation
 Step 2 Drive setup using Technosoft EasySetUp software for drive commissioning
 Step 3 Motion programming using one of the options:

A CANopen master

The drives built-in motion controller executing a Technosoft Motion Language (TML) program
developed using Technosoft EasyMotion Studio software

A TML_LIB motion library for PCs (Windows or Linux)

A TML_LIB motion library for PLCs

A distributed control approach which combines the above options, like for example a host calling motion
functions programmed on the drives in TML
This manual covers Step 1 in detail. It describes the iPOS360x hardware including the technical data, the connectors
and the wiring diagrams needed for installation.
For Step 2 and 3, please consult the document iPOS Single Loop drives Software reference
( 091.028.SL.Software.xxxx). It also includes the scaling factors between the real SI units and the drive internal units.
For detailed information regarding the next steps, refer to the related documentation.
