Screen page "Communication" 



COM1...10 

If one of these interfaces (ports) is available for communication with a servo amplifier, which means that it is not used by other equipment or drivers, then the text label appears in full black and can be selected. Use this interface for the connection to the servo amplifier.
Select the interface that you are using. In a multi-axis system with several (up to 4) servo amplifiers linked by the special cable -SR6Y- and connected to a PC (see Product manual), you can select the servo amplifier you want by selecting its station address in a list. In this case it is also possible to display several servo amplifiers at the same time by repeating the interface selection.
In the status bar you can see information about the status of the communication with the servo amplifier. If the communication is functioning correctly, the parameters that are stored in the servo amplifier are read into the PC. A dialogue window keeps you up to date.
 


Offline 

Even when no servo amplifier is connected, you can still work with the setup software. You can load a set of data from the hard disk (diskette), work on it, and save it again. If you don’t load a set of data, the manufacturer’s default settings (basic setup) will be applied. Software functions and screen pages that only have a use in the online mode will not be selectable.
You can open more than one data set for editing, by clicking on OFFLINE again. The individual data sets are identified in the title bar by the designations "AMPLIFIER 1001", "AMPLIFIER 1002" and so on.
Not the station address is displayed, but a sequential number above 1000. If you have loaded an existing data set from the hard disk or diskette, then the folder name, data set name and amplifier name will also be displayed.
 


Disconnect interfaces 

Deactivates the access to the setup software via the interfaces COM1 to COM10. This function is important if, for instance, the servo amplifier is to be accessed from an external program without closing the setup software.
