Introduction

This documentation explains the use of the setup software DRIVEGUI.exe for setting parameters and configuring servo amplifiers. Detailed descriptions of functions and parameters are located in the Object Reference Guide (part of the software's Online Help system).

The setup software must be installed on a personal computer (PC). The PC is connected to the servo amplifier by a communication cable. The setup software initiates the communication between PC and servo amplifier.

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. At the same time, important actual values are read out from the amplifier and displayed on the monitor of the PC (oscilloscope functions).

Any interface modules (expansion cards), which may be built into the amplifier, are automatically recognized and the additional parameters required for position control or motion-block definition are made available.

You can save sets of data on data media (archiving), and load them again. You can also print out the data sets.

The Online-Help can be used like an Internet website with links, navigation frame and back/forward buttons.
