Getting started with VSD-E & VSD-XE 160
Evolution
1.
Introduction
Thank you for choosing Granite Devices VSD-E / XE drive!
This practical guide will introduce to quick deployment of VSD-E/XE drives. In this guide drives are configured for a
typical position mode PC CNC application. However similar approaches can be used for other uses/modes as well.
Before proceeding
with this guide, make sure you have read and understood the following manuals:
●
VSD-E/XE 160 manual
●
GDtool 2.5 manual
All manuals and program & configuration files are available from our web site (see product page side box).
Figure 1: Test setup for GDtool tuning (we'll return to this in the next chapter). Note: it is
recommended to mechanically fix larger motors to be safe from unexpected motor
“jumping”. Also higher than 40VDC supply may be used, but it is recommended to use
reduced voltage for first tests.
Warning! Never operate this drive with non-isolated power supply (I.e. rectified AC
mains voltage or with autotransformer).
Doing so may be
lethal
especially due to non-
isolated logic circuity and very high earth currents of this product.
VSD-E/XE has been designed only for electrically isolated power supply.
Granite Devices can't be held responsible for possible damages caused by unsafe use of our
products or literature. See VSD-E manual for more information.
