in order to send the project file to the drive and probe the motor.
• Click on Config. Comm Port (#1) and select the Port to which you are connecting the
Impulse. Next, select a Unit Number (from 1 - 99) for the Impulse being configured. To test
communication using the current setup, click on Test Connection. Click OK.
• Click on Send All (#2) to send the project setup parameters to the drive.
• Click on Probe Motor (#3) . Pressing this button tells the drive to execute an electronic
probe of the motor to determine a host of proprietary, internal settings for use in the anti-
resonance/stall detect features. Any time the drive is connected to a different type of motor,
or if a new motor file is selected, the motor must be re-probed. When the drive is probing
the attached motor, a 1 kHz tone will be heard emanating from the motor. Depending on
motor type, this tone may persist for up to 15 seconds. Motor probe is not required each
time the Impulse is powered on. .
• Click on Set Tuning Values (#4) and enter the values from your IDC motor label.
• The project file has been sent to the drive and your application can now be fine-tuned using
the
Axis Setup menu (starting on the next page).
