9.2 Setup software9.2.1 GeneralThis chapter describes the installation of the setup software DRIVE.EXE for the SERVOSTAR 600digital servo amplifiers.We offer training and familiarization courses on request.9.2.1.1 Use as directedThe setup software is intended to be used for setting up and storing the operating parameters forthe SERVOSTAR 600 series of servo amplifiers. The attached servo amplifier can be setup with theassistance of the software - during this process the drive can be controlled directly by the servicefunctions.Only professional personnel who have the relevant expertise described on page 7are 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 unintendedalteration by other persons. After loading a set of data you must therefore check allparametersthoroughly before enabling the servo amplifier.9.2.1.2 Software descriptionThe servo amplifiers must be adapted to the requirements of your installation. Usually you will nothave to carry out this parameter setting yourself on the amplifier, but on a PC, with the assistance ofthe setup software. The PC is connected to the servo amplifier by a null-modem cable (see p.69) .The setup software provides the communication between SERVOSTAR 600 and the PC.You will find the setup software on the accompanying CD-ROM and at our web site.With very little effort you can alter parameters and instantly observe the effect on the drive, sincethere is a continuous (online) connection to the amplifier.Simultaneously, important actual values are read out from the amplifier and displayed on the PCmonitor (oscilloscope function).Any interface modules (expansion cards) which may be built into the amplifier are automatically rec-ognized, and the additional parameters which are required for position control or motion-block defi-nition are made available.Sets of data can be stored on data media (archived) and loaded again. Sets of data which arestored on data media can be printed.We supply you with motor-specific default sets of data for the most common combinations of servoamplifier and motor. In most applications you will be able to use these default values to get yourdrive running without any problems.An extensive online help with integrated description of all variables and functions supports you ineach situation.72 SERVOSTAR ® 601...620 Product ManualSetup 07/2007 Danaher Motion
