4 Drive Configuration
SSM Quick Tuner is the PC based software application used to configure, and perform servo
tuning, drive testing and evaluation of the SSM. System servo control gains, drive functionality,
and I/O configuration are set with Quick Tuner. It also contains an oscilloscope function to help set
the servo control gains.
4.1 Quick Tuner Toolbar
4.1.1 Open, Save, and Print
In addition to exchanging settings with a drive, the SSM Quick Tuner software can also save &
load settings using the PC’s hard drive.
The
Open
button brings up a dialog box showing all the SSM Quick Tuner files on the hard drive.
When a large number of identical machines are being built it is useful to be able to exactly
duplicate each set-up. When development of one machine is completed and the motion control is
working correctly, it can be saved to a file. When the next machine is built, the set-up file may be
opened and downloaded to that drive. One of the advantages of programmable, digital control is
this easy duplication of system settings.
With the
Save
button a set-up can be saved to the hard drive. Long file names may be used just
as with other 32 bit Windows programs, such as Microsoft Word or Excel.
The
button allows a hard copy of a program to be printed on any system printer. The
standard Windows printer dialog is used, allowing the choice of typical printer settings.
4.1.2 Restore
The
Restore
button will reset all parameters in the drive to the ones set by the factory (defaults).
Note - as this will erase all parameters that have been changed, it may be desired to save them to
a file first.
4.1.3 Alarm History
The SSM stores a log of previous alarm conditions viewable in the
Alarm History
. When an alarm
occurs, the drive stores the information on which alarm conditions were triggered. As a fault may
trigger more than one alarm condition, the drive stores all of them for reference. This information
can then be viewed in the Alarm History dialog to help with drive and system problem solving. The
