The Smart Terminal lets you enter commands manually – please refer to the
SimplIQ for Steppers Command Reference Manual. To send a command, type it
in the Enter Command field and click Send.

Notes:

At the connection step you need to know the drive communication parameters.

It is possible to change the drive communication parameters only later, after
communication is established.

If you do not know the CAN ID, you may either:

o

Connect first with RS-232, then ask for PP[13] (can ID) and PP[14] (CAN

baud rate).

o

Use the DSP 305 protocol to find out the drive parameters (you will need
your own CAN application for that).

The drive stores a lot of information about itself internally and this enables

the Composer to interact with a multitude of drive types. When a Composer first
meets a drive version it uploads this internal information. You will see the
following window:

Figure 4: Uploading personality data

The next time you contact the same drive version, the Composer already has all
its personality data stored and will not ask you to wait again.

If the drive lost its software, for example by a power-down during firmware

downloading, it will withdraw to a very limited default, or "boot" software. With
this boot, it is only possible to download the new firmware version. The
communication parameters in the "boot" state are fixed (not affected by any user
setting):

Baud rate of 57600 and no parity for RS-232.
Baud rate of 500000 and CAN ID of 127 for CAN.

After you set the correct communication parameters, you will see the following
message:
