ONFIGURE THE IMPLE
Regardless of the mode in which you wish to operate, you must first configure the SimpleServo for
your particular motor, mode of operation and additional features if used.
1. Ensure that the control is properly installed and mounted. Refer to "INSTALLATION" section early in
this manual for installation instructions.
2. Perform wiring to the motor and external equipment suitable for desired operating mode and your
system requirements. Refer to system configurations diagram in Section A for various system
configuration examples.
3. Connect drive serial port TB505 to your PC serial port.
4. Make sure that the drive is disabled.
5. Launch MotionView software on your computer.
6. From the MotionView menu, select <Project> <Connection setup> and select "RS-232" radio button
on opened connection dialog. Click <Properties> and select the serial port number to which the drive
is connected. Leave the rest of the settings unchanged. Click <OK> to close dialogs.
7. From menu, click <Node> then <Connect drive>.
8. Set parameters for the drive according to the section "Drive configuration procedure" in MotionView
Help file. (Select <Help> <Help Topics>; expand <Quick Start> book; and select "Drive configuration
procedure").
9. After you configure the drive, proceed to tuning procedure if operating in Velocity or Step &
Direction mode. Torque Mode doesn't require additional tuning or calibration. Refer to MotionView
Help file book "Tuning" for instructions on how to tune for Velocity or Step & Direction mode.
D LED
IAGNOSTIC S
The SimpleServo has five diagnostic LEDs mounted on the front panel (Figure 15). These LEDs are
designed to help you monitor system status and troubleshoot any faults.
READY (Green)
Green LED lights when drive is enabled and there is no fault. If drive gets disabled by means of the
ENABLE input or because any fault occurs, this light will turn off.
USER-DEFINED (Amber)
Amber LED lights when AUX programmable digital output is activated.
OVER-CURRENT (O/C) and OVERHEAT (Red)
Red LED lights when drive current output exceeds the absolute drive current capability limit (not a
current limit level setup for the drive!). This is considered a current overload fault. The LED also lights
when the output stage reaches its maximum allowed temperature.
OVER-VOLTAGE (O/V) (Red)
Red LED lights when the drive bus exceeds threshold limit caused usually by motor regeneration
energy flowing back into drive. If this LED lights frequently, you will need to connect a dumping
resistor.
POWER (Green)
Green LED lights when power is applied to the drive.
OVER-CURRENT (Red) lit together with OVER-VOLTAGE (Red)
This fault indicates that you have not selected a motor (Motor ID = -1) while setting the SimpleServo
up with MotionView (The fault occurs when you try to enable).
