How to use TAM System Explorer
Topology Tree
Only the prepare field is editable. If the prepare value has a gray background, the register is read only. A
changed value gets an orange background. This state remains until it gets committed.
Parameter handling buttons:
Commit
Updates the drive with the values of the prepare fields.
Revert
Reverts the prepare fields with the values from the actual fields.
Setting a parameter value:
1. Enter the desired value into the prepare field of the appropriate register
2. Press Enter or click into another register. The background of the edited field gets orange.
3. Click the
Commit
button to transmit the value to the drive. After a successful commit, the back-
ground of the prepare field turns back to white.
A star (
*
) in front of a tree item indicates an uncompleted commit.
3.1.2 Commands
Commands are used to change the state of the device, e.g. to set a digital output or to execute a move.
The state of a command can not be stored and will be reset after a restart of the device.
In the tab panel commands are listed with the following columns:
Register → the name of the register, corresponding to the name of the tree view
Value
→ the actual value of the command
Unit
→ physical unit of the value
Description
→ short description of the command
Command values can be edited directly, no commit command is required to execute the command:
1. Enter the desired value into the value field of the appropriate register.
2. Press Enter or click into another register to execute the command.
3.1.3 Signals
Signals allow real time observation of the state of the drive.
In the tab panel signals are listed with the following columns:
Register → the name of the register, corresponding to the name of the tree view
Value
→ the actual value of the signal
Unit
→ physical unit of the value
Description
→ short description of the register
All signals are read only.
3.1.4 Information
Information registers can be used to document the properties of an axis. They do not affect the behav-
ior of the drive in any way. Information registers are also stored with the TAM configuration file on the
PC or persisted on the drive (see sections 3.5).
