Setup
The procedure for setup is described as an example. A different method may be appropriate or
necessary, depending on the application of the equipment.
Only specialist personnel with extensive knowledge in the areas of electrical engineering / drive
technology are allowed to commission the drive unit of servo amplifier and motor.
Check that all live connection points (terminal boxes) are safe against accidental contact.
Deadly voltages can occur, up to 900V.
Never undo the electrical connections to the motor when it is live. The residual charge in the
capacitors of the servo amplifier can produce dangerous voltages up to 5 minutes after the
mains supply has been switched off.
The surface temperature of the motor can exceed 100°C in operation.
Check (measure) the temperature of the motor. Wait until the motor has cooled down below
40°C before touching it.
Make sure that, even if the drive starts to move unintentionally, no danger can result for per-
sonnel or machinery.
l
Check the assembly and orientation of the motor.
l
Check the drive components (clutch, gear unit, belt pulley) for the correct seating and
setting (observe the permissible radial and axial forces).
l
Check the wiring and connections to the motor and the servo amplifier. Check that
the earthing is correct.
l
Test the function of the holding brake, if used. (apply 24V, the brake must be relea-
sed).
l
Check whether the rotor of the motor revolves freely (release the brake, if necessary).
Listen out for grinding noises.
l
Check that all the required measures against accidental contact with live and moving
parts have been carried out.
l
Carry out any further tests which are specifically required for your system.
l
Now commission the drive according to the setup instructions for the servo amplifier.
l
In multi-axis systems, individually commission each drive unit (servo amplifier and
motor).
