Connecting PC
There is a built-in RS232 port in each easy servo drive for communication and configuration. Connect
this port to the PC
’
s serial port. Then you can rotate the motor in the setup software. This setup
software - ProTuner, is designed to configure the easy servo drive. You can define the control mode,
microstep resolution, current rate, active level of inputs/outputs in ProTuner.
The ProTuner can be downloaded from our website:
or you may also get it
from our CD. It is recommended to get it from the website because software from the website is
always the latest. Install it in your PC and make it ready for use later.
Connect ES-D808 / ES-D1008 to PC
A RS232 cable is needed for the communication between the drives and the ProTuner. It will be
shipped with the kit if you include it in the order. It is also possible to make this cable by yourself. One
end of this cable is a RJ-11 header and the other end of cable is a 9 pin D-Sub female connector. If
your PC does not have a serial port, a USB-to-232 converter is required.
Note: The power should be turned off when you perform any connections!
When you open ProTuner, a
