Connect
l Connect the interface cable to a serial interface on your PC and to the serial in-
terface X6 of the servo amplifier. USB to serial converter can be used optionally.
l Switch on the 24 V logic power supply for the servo amplifier.
l Wait about 30 seconds, until the front display of the servo amplifier displays the
current rating (e.g. for 3 amps). If the mains power supply voltage is
switched on, too, a leading P is displayed (e.g. for Power, 3 amps).
If a fault code ( ) or a warning ( ) or a status message ("." or "_"
or "E" or "S") appears in the display, you will find the description and hints for
trouble shooting in the instructions manual. If there is fault, fix the problem.

The software tries to communicate with the drive and to upload the parameters. If it's
not successful, you receive this error message:
Frequent causes:
- wrong interface chosen
- wrong connector chosen at the servo amplifier
- interface is used by another software
- 24 V auxiliary voltage for the servo amplifier not working
- interface cable broken or wrong wiring
Click OK to remove the error message. The software starts in the offline mode now,
that requires the manual selection of the amplifier's type. Quit this selection by clo-
sing the window.
Fix the communication problem. Restart the software in Online mode.
If communication works, you see the start screen.

Important Screen Elements
Help Function
The Online-Help gives detailed information to all parameters the servo amplifier can
work with.
Tool Bar
Save to EEPROM,
required if you changed parameters.
Reset,
required if you changed important configuration parameters.
Status Bar
The status bar shows a green Online symbol, indicating that the communication
works.
6
Setup Wizard
The Setup Wizard leads you through the necessary steps for configuring your servo
amplifier. Depending on the selected application, only the active screen pages are
necessary.
For a quick setup select the setup type "Quick Motor/Drive Setup".
7
Basic Setup
Click NEXT.
8
Units/Mechanical
The user units for all input fields in the setup software can be preselected here.
Position, Velocity, Acceleration
Select usable units for your application referring to the moved load.
Mechanical Conversion
The relationship between motor shaft revolution (pole pair pitch with linear motors)
and motion distance of the load is specified here. Gear ratio can be calculated here
as well. Detailed information can be found in the online help. Use the calculation tool
based on sample applications for calculating the resolution value (press "Calculate
PGEARI/PGEARO..." button). Select the application and enter the required values.
Click "Calculate Conversion Factors..." button. Resolution is calculated now.
Click NEXT.

Save Parameters and Restart
You are going to finish the Setup Wizard and you have changed several basic para-
meters. Depending on the parameters you changed, two possible reactions will
occure now:
Configuration parameters changed
A warning appears, that you have to restart the amplifier, this is called "coldstart".
Click "YES". The parameters are saved to the amplifier's EEPROM automatically
and a reset command restarts the amplifier (takes a few seconds).
12
Motion Service (Jog Mode)
Be aware that the actual position of the load permits the subsequent moving
operations. The axis could move to the hardware limit-switch or the mechanical
stop. Make sure that a jerk or a fast acceleration of the load cannot cause any
damage.
l Switch on the power supply for the drive.
l STO1/2-Enable: Apply +24 V to the inputs STO1/2-Enable [X4B/6 & X4A/3]
l Hardware-Enable: Apply +24 V to the input Enable [X3A/1]. If one STO-Enable
is missed or the sequence was wrong, the front display shows .
l Software-Enable: Click the symbol EN in the tool bar. Now, the front display
shows an E and the current rating (e.g. for Enable, 3amps). Click the
symbol DIS to switch off the output stage (disable).
Jog (Digital Velocity Mode):
You can move the drive with
constant speed. Enter a safe
speed.
Observe the "safe reduced
speed" requirements for your
application!
The drive moves with the preset
speed when the + or – button is
pressed. It stops when the but-
ton is released.
Actual errors and warnings are listed on the screen Status. A description of
errors/warnings can be found in the online help.
Now you have setup and tested the basic functions of the drive successfully.
13
Additional Setup Screens
Observe the safety instructions in the manuals when you change parameters
in the additional setup screens.
For all setup functions detailed information can be found in the Online Help system
and the integrated command reference. Select "Complete Setup" in the
Setup-Wizard. Now you have access to:
l Feedback: Adjust the used feedback unit
l Motor: Adjust the used motor
l Control Loops: Current-, Velocity- and Position-Loops can be optimized
l Position Data: Adjust the position control for the requirements of your machine.
l Position Registers: up to 16 position values in the track can be monitored.
l Electronic Gearing: If the servo amplifier will follow a setpoint as a slave with a
gear ratio, you can select the gearing source here and define the gear ratio.
l Encoder Emulation: select the encoder emulation (position output)
l Analog I/O: setup the analog inputs
l Digital I/O: setup the digital inputs and outputs
l Status: displays amplifiers data with history, actual faults and warnings
l Monitor: displays the drive data (actual values)
l Homing: definition and start of homing
l Motion task: definition and start of motion task
l Oscilloscope: 4 channel oscilloscope with multiple functionality
l Bode Plot: tool for optimizing the drive
l Terminal: setup the servo amplifier with ASCII commands
l Autotuning: fast velocity loop optimizing
