5 Setup
5.1 Important notes
Only professional personnel with extensive knowledge in the fields of electrical
engineering and drive technology are allowed to setup the servo amplifier.
The procedure for commissioning is described as an example. Depending on the applica-
tion, a different procedure may be appropriate or necessary. In multi-axis systems, com-
mission each servo amplifier individually.
Before setting up, the manufacturer of the machine must produce a hazard
analysis for the machine and take appropriate measures to ensure that unforeseen
movements do not result in personal injury or material damage.
Check that all connection components that are live in operation are safely
protected against bodily contact. The equipment produces potentially lethal
voltages up to 800V.
Never undo the electrical connections to the servo amplifier while it is live.
Capacitors can still have dangerous residual charges up to 300 seconds after
switching off the supply voltage.
The heat sink and front panel of the amplifier can reach temperatures up to 80°C in
operation. Check the heat sink temperature. Wait until the heat sink has cooled
down to 40°C before touching it
If the servo amplifier has been stored for longer than 1 year, then the DC Bus link
capacitors will have to be re-formed.
To do this, disconnect all the electrical connections.
Supply the servo amplifier for about 30 min. from single-phase 230V AC to the
terminals L1 / L2. This will re-form the capacitors.
Further information on commissioning:
The adaptation of parameters and their effects on the control loop behaviour are
described in the online help of the setup software.
The commissioning of the fieldbus interface is described in the corresponding
manual.
We can provide further know-how through training courses (on request).
