How to use the Online Help 


The Online Help can be used like an Internet website with links, navigation frame and back/forward buttons. Clicking on an ASCII parameter name in the text (blue, underlined) opens the corresponding description of the ASCII Object Reference 

helpscreen


Navigation 

All frames are visible only, if you started the Online Help from the menu bar of the setup software. If you use function key F1, the fulltext search frame and the text frame are visible only. In this case you can restart the help system by clicking the symbol "Home". 


Full text search 

The button ON/OFF activates/deactivates the full text search frame.

If, despite the SHOW button being pressed, the window in which you enter a search term does not open the first time the help system is called, the search-window column width is preset to “0” by the operating system. In this case, modify the column width by dragging the gray column separator at the left edge of the window, a process with which you should be familiar from WINDOWS.

Setup Software 

The setup software is intended to be used for altering or storing the operational parameters for the digital servo amplifiers. The servo amplifier that is connected is commissioned with the aid of the software - whereby the drive can be directly controlled by the setup and service functions. 

The characteristic nature of a PC mean that these functions are not functionally safe without further measures. A PC-program might be unexpectedly disturbed or stopped, so that in the event of a malfunction any movements that have already been initiated cannot be stopped from the PC. 

warning_r_general  

The manufacturer of the machine must carry out a risk assessment for the machine, and is responsible for the functional, mechanical and personnel safety aspects of the machine. This applies especially to the initiation of movements with the aid of functions in the commissioning software.
Only personnel who have extensive knowledge in the fields of drive technology and control technology are permitted to carry out online parameter setting of a drive that is running.
Sets of data that are stored on data media are not safe from undesirable alteration by third parties. So after you have loaded a set of data, you must check all the parameters before enabling the servo amplifier.
