Setup software

9.2.1

General

This chapter describes the installation of the setup software for the SERVOSTAR 640/670 digital
servo amplifiers.
We offer training and familiarisation courses on request.
9.2.1.1

Use as directed

The setup software is intended to be used for setting up and storing the operating parameters for
the SERVOSTAR 640/670 series of servo amplifiers. The attached servo amplifier can be setup
with the assistance of the software - during this process 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 which is running.
Sets of data which are stored on data media are not safe against unintended
alteration by other persons. After loading a set of data you must therefore check all
parameters thoroughly before enabling the servo amplifier.
9.2.1.2

Software description

The servo amplifiers must be adapted to the requirements of your installation. 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 (ð p. 68).
The setup software provides the communication between SERVOSTAR 640/670 and the PC.
You will find the setup software on the accompanying CD-ROM and at our web site in the download
area.
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.
Simultaneously, important actual values are read out from the amplifier and displayed on the PC
monitor (oscilloscope function).
Any interface modules (expansion cards) which may be built into the amplifier are automatically
recognized, and the additional parameters which are required for position control or motion-block
definition are made available.
Sets of data can be stored on data media (archived) and loaded again. Sets of data which are
stored on data media can be printed.
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
