About this manual
This documentation explains the use of the PDrive.exe setup software for setting
parameters and configuring servo amplifiers of the PMCtendo DD4/5, PMCprimo Drive2/3 and
PMCprotego D series.
The series PMCprimo Drive2/3 differ from the series PMCtendo DD4/5 only in the motion
control functionality.
For this reason the series PMCprimo Drive2/3 is not mentioned furthermore in this
manual. Parameters for the PMCtendo DD4 are concerning the PMCprimo Drive2 too and
parameters for the PMCtendo DD5 the PMCprimo Drive3.
Detailed descriptions of functions and parameters are located in the Object Reference Guide.
The setup software must be installed on a personal computer (PC). The PC is connected
to the servo amplifier by a communication cable. The setup software initiates the
communication
between PC and servo amplifier.
With very little effort you can alter parameters and instantly observe the effect on the servo
amplifier, since there is a continuous (online) connection to the amplifier. At the same time,
important actual values are read out from the servo amplifier and displayed on the monitor of
the PC.
Any interface modules (expansion cards), which may be built into the servo amplifier, are
automatically recognized and the additional parameters required for position control or motion-
block definition are made available.
You can save sets of data on data media (archiving), and load them again. You can also
print out the data sets.
We provide you with default sets of motor-specific data for all the reasonable combinations of
servo amplifier and motor. In most applications you will be able to commission your drive
without any problems, just by using these default values.
Knowledge of the Microsoft Windows operating system and the use of a personal
computer is assumed.
You must follow the safety, installation and commissioning instructions in the
installation manual for the servo amplifier that is used.
We provide training and familiarization courses on request.
