Personality Module for CD-LITE
The Personality Module is used to easily configure multiple CD-Lite servo drives. After one servo drive
has been configured and tuned, the parameters of that drive are uploaded into the module. In order to
configure additonal servo drives with the same parameters, the module is plugged into those drives and
the parameters downloaded into the drives.
The same parameters that are stored in an SSV file, are stored in the Personality Module. In addition,
when downloading the parameters, CONFIG and SAVE commands are included.
Preparation
The CD-LITE should have firmware version 0.1.3 or higher.
Description and Operation
The Personality Module has a female D-9 connector to plug into the serial connector (C1) on the front
panel of the CD-Lite. The Personality Module has two switches and one green LED on it:
A recessed switch is used for UPLOADING parameters from the drive into the Personality Module. The
tip of a pen or some similar instrument is needed to access the switch. The switch needs to be pressed for
a minimum of 2 seconds in order to activate the upload procedure. During the upload, the display will
show 3 bars flashing, first the lower, then the middle, and then the upper.
An easy access switch is used for DOWNLOADING parameters from the Personality Module to the
drive. Pushing this button downloads the values from the Personality Module to the drive. During the
download, the CD-Lite display shows 3 bars flashing, first the upper, then the middle, and then the lower.
This action takes a few seconds.
The Green LED is lit to indicate that the system is powered on.
