4.1 Using the MacTalk software
4.1.1 MacTalk introduction
The MacTalk software is the main interface for setting up the MIS motor for a specific
application.
The program offers the following features:
- Selection of operating mode of the MIS motor.
- Changing main parameters such as speed, motor current, zero search type, etc.
- Monitoring in real time the actual motor parameters, such as supply voltage, input
status, etc.
- Changing protection limits such as position limits.
- Saving all current parameters to disc.
- Restoring all parameters from disc.
- Saving all parameters permanently in the motor.
- Updating the motor firmware or MacTalk software from the internet or a file.
The main window of the program changes according to the selected mode, thus only
showing the relevant parameters for operation in the selected mode.
The following pages describe the actual window for each mode and how the parameters
affect MIS motor operation.
