Configuring Your System
This chapter presents a straight forward,intuitive procedure for Configuring Your
System to your specific equipment and application requirements.The following
configuration section contains detailed,step-by-step directions for customizing the
B8961 and B8962 to your specific application and mechanical requirements.IDC
recommends that even experienced users follow this procedure in its entirety.
Following all the SETUP steps will insure that no critical parameters are
overlooked.
The task of configuring your B8961 or B8962 Smart Drive system to a specific
application consists of customizing a number of software parameters to match the
mechanics of the system.These parameters include distance,acceleration and
velocity scaling as well as I/O configuration.Other than plugging in the
motor/encoder cable and connecting your I/O wiring,there are no hardware
settings on a B8961 or B8962 Smart Drive system.
All of the software configuration can be done via the keypad,or via RS232 using
Application De veloper .The Configuring Your System description presented here is
from a keypad user’s perspective,via the keypad menu structure and step-by-step
keypad instructions.
Application De veloper and RS-232C users will want to refer to this chapter for
detailed explanations of configuration parameters.Details on how to use IDC’s
Application De veloper can be found in the Chapter 7. For RS-232C terminal users,
non-Windows ™ PC users,or PLC users,the equivalent 2-character ASCII
configuration commands are detailed in the RS-232 Command Reference section
Chapter 7,but the examples presented here are valid for all users.The 2-character
ASCII command appears in brackets next to the appropriate keypad menu choice
in this chapter.
Application De veloper users will find that the Windows dialog
boxes under the
Setup
menu follow the keypad menu structure very closely.
Users who plan to create and download their own ASCII setup file will also find
this section useful.The RS-232 command that relates to the parameter being set is
in brackets below the keypad menu structure.RS-232 command syntax details are
in the
RS-232 Command Reference section of Chapter 7.
Each SETUP step follows the format of the example below:
