Safety Considerations for MTS Acumen Systems
Restrictions for Using MTS Series 793 Controller Software
Using MTS Series 793 Controller Software with MTS Acumen Systems
Warning :
Improper changes to the station configuration file can result in sudden and unexpected actuator
motion.
Unexpected actuator motion can damage equipment and injure personnel.
Ensure the station configuration settings remain as set at the factory before operating the
system. Do not use MTS Series 793 Controller software to change the original factory settings
of the supplied station configuration file (.cfg) unless you are an advanced user.
Your MTS Acumen system is equipped with an MTS Series 793 Controller, which includes:
• MTS FlexTest Series 40/60 Controller
• Model 793.00 System Software bundle
The System Software bundle contains applications that perform activities centered around maintaining
servo control of the test station, and includes the following:
• Project Manager
• Station Builder
• Station Manager
• Basic TestWare
• Station Desktop Organizer
• hwi File Editor
Important:
With the exception of opening station configuration files with the Station Manager application, all
other functionality of the System Software bundle is intended only for on-site MTS personnel and
advanced users. For typical use, all limit adjustment, tuning, compensation setup, and so on, should
be performed using only MTS TestSuite MP for MTS Acumen.
Using Station Manager to open station configurations
Before you begin to use the MTS TestSuite MP application to create or run a test on your MTS Acumen
system, you must open a station configuration file. The station configuration file defines the controller
resources (such as channels, inputs, DIO, and so on) with which you perform tests. Unless you configure
your software to open a station configuration automatically when you launch MTS TestSuite software, you
must use the the Station Manager application to open the station configuration.
