Operator software
II.4.1
General
This chapter describes the installation of the operator software for the SERVOSTAR™ 600 digital
servo amplifiers.
We offer training and familiarisation courses on request.
II.4.1.1
Use as directed
The operator software is intended to be used for setting up and storing the operating parameters for
the SERVOSTAR™ 600 series of servo amplifiers. The attached servo amplifier is commissioned
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 in Chapter I.1 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.
II.4.1.2
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 operator software. The PC is connected to the servo amplifier by a null-modem cable. The
operator software provides the communication between SERVOSTAR™ 600 and the PC.
You will find the operator software on the accompanying diskette and the CD-ROM.
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 out.
We supply you with motor-specific default sets of data for all the reasonable 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.
