Introduction
1. Introduction
1.1 Definitions
Included herein are definitions of several terms used throughout this programming manual and the PositionServo user
manual.
PositionServo: The PositionServo is a programmable digital drive/motion controller, that can be configured as a stand
alone programmable motion controller, or as a high performance torque, velocity or position amplifier for centralized
control systems. The PositionServo family of drives includes the 940 Encoder-based drive and the 941 Resolver-based
drive.
MotionView: MotionView is a universal communication and configuration software that is utilized by the PositionServo
drive family. Starting with revision 4.xx, drives will have MotionView OnBoard (MVOB) built into the drive. MotionView
has an automatic self-configuration mechanism that recognizes what drive it is connected to and configures the tool set
accordingly. The MotionView platform is divided up into three sections or windows, the “Parameter Tree Window”, the
“Parameter View Window” and the “Message Window”. Refer to Section 1.3 for more detail.
MotionView OnBoard (MVOB): MotionView OnBoard is the embedded version of MotionView software in PositionServo
drives with a part number ending in ES, RS, EM or RM.
SimpleMotion Language (SML): SML is the programming language utilized by MotionView. The SML interface within
the MotionView software provides a very flexible development environment for creating solutions to motion applications.
The SML programming statements allow the programmer to create complex and intelligent motion, process I/O, perform
complex logic decision making, execute program branching, utilize timed event processes, as well as a number of other
functions common to the majority of motion control and servo applications.
User Program (or Indexer Program): This is the SML program, developed by the user to describe the programmatic
behavior of the PositionServo drive. The User Program can be stored in a text file on your PC as well as in the
PositionServo’s EPM memory. The User Program needs to be compiled (translated) into binary form with the aid of the
MotionView Studio tools before the PositionServo can execute it.
MotionView Studio: MotionView Studio is the front end programming interface of the MotionView platform. It is a tool
suite containing all the software tools needed to program and debug the PositionServo. These tools include a full-screen
text editor, a program compiler, status and monitoring utilities, an online oscilloscope and a debug function that allows
the user to step through the program during program development.
WARNING!
•
Hazard of unexpected motor starting! When using the MotionView software, or otherwise remotely
operating the PositionServo drive, the motor may start unexpectedly, which may result in damage
to equipment and/or injury to personnel. Make sure the equipment is free to operate safely, and
that all guards and covers are in place to protect personnel.
•
Hazard of electrical shock! Circuit potentials are up to 480 VAC above earth ground. Avoid direct
contact with the internal printed circuit boards or with circuit elements to prevent the risk of serious
injury or fatality. Disconnect incoming power and wait 60 seconds before servicing drive. Capacitors
retain charge after power is removed.
NOTE
To run MotionView OnBoard (MVOB) on a Mac OS, run the PC emulation tool first.
