2.4 How to Use this Guide
This manual is part of a documentation set that, together, can be used to set up and
program the motion of any machine whose motors are controlled by Elmo
SimplIQ servo
drives. When used in conjunction with the Maestro Software Manual it describes
everything needed to get the Maestro up and running. Please read the safety instructions
in the first chapter before starting.
After you have successfully mounted and installed the Maestro we suggest that you read
the Maestro Software Manual. If you have not already done so, follow the instruction in the
Installation Guide that arrived with your servo drive, and install a drive. At least one drive
needs to be connected to the Maestro in order for it to function as a motion controller.
The other manuals listed below explain how to set up and program
SimplIQ servo drives.
