Software description
Each drive must be adapted to the requirements of your machine. For most applications, you can
use a PC and PACMotion Workbench (the drive setup software) to set up the operating conditions
and parameters for your drive. The PC is connected to the drive by an Ethernet cable (
The setup software provides the communication between the PC and PSD. You can find the setup
software on the accompanying DVD and in the download area of the Emerson website.
With very little effort you can alter parameters and instantly observe the effect on the drive, since
there is a continuous (online) connection to the drive. You can also read important actual values
from the drive, which are displayed on the monitor of the PC (oscilloscope functions).
You can save sets of data on data media (archiving) and load them into other drives or use them for
backup. You can also print out the data sets.
Most standard feedbacks (SFD3, BiSS, and HIPERFACE DSL) are plug-and-play compatible. Motor
nameplate data is stored in the feedback device and read by the drive automatically at startup.
Non-plug and play Emerson motors are stored in PACMotion Workbench and can be loaded with
one-click using the Motor screen in the PACMotion Workbench software.
An extensive online help with integrated description of all variables and functions supports you in
each situation.
