7.3 CTSoft software commissioning tool
CTSoft can be used for commissioning and monitoring, drive parameters
can be uploaded, downloaded and compared, and simple or custom
menu listings can be created. Drive menus can be displayed in standard
list format or as live block diagrams. CTSoft includes a migration wizard
that allows Mentor II parameters to be migrated to the Quantum MP.
CTSoft is able to communicate with a single drive or a network.
CT Soft can be found on the CD which is supplied with the drive and is
also available for download from the website
www.controltechniques.com (file size approximately 100MB).
7.3.1 CTSoft system requirements:
1.
Pentium IV 1000 MHz or better recommended.
2.
Windows Vista, Windows XP or Windows 2000 (Including the latest
Service Packs) only.
3.
Internet Explorer V5 or later should also be installed.
4.
Microsoft.Net Framework 2.0 must also be installed.
5.
Absolute minimum of 800x600 screen resolution. A resolution of
1024x768 or above is recommended.
6.
Adobe Acrobat 5.05 or later (for parameter help).
7.
256MB RAM
You must have administration rights under Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista
to install.
7.3.2 To install CTSoft from the CD
1.
Ensure that any previous copies of CTSoft have been uninstalled
before proceeding with the installation (existing projects will not be
lost).
2.
Insert the CD. The auto-run software should start up the front-end
screen from which CTSoft can be selected. User guides for the
supported drive models are included with CTSoft application. When
help is requested, CTSoft links to the parameter in the
Advanced
User Guide.
7.4 Setting up a feedback device
This section shows more detailed information on parameter settings that
must be made to each of the compatible encoder types with Quantum
MP. For more information on the parameters listed here please refer to
