1. Getting Started
1.1 Introduction
Definitions
The SimpleServo Indexer (SSI) is a digital motion controller that will process commands within the
hardware and software limits dictated by user (wiring, configuration, parameters, program statements,
events, etc.). The output of the system is the motion(s) created in response to the command(s) input.
The SimpleServo SimpleMotion programming language (SML) provides a very flexible development
environment for creating solution to motion application. As opposed to indexers with simple command
interpreting mode, language based indexer allows you to create complex and intelligent motion, flexible
processing of inputs, complex logic decision making and program branching, timed events processing
and number of functions mostly found in PLC controllers.
The MotionView is a universal setup and configuration program used for all SimpleServo products. It has
self-configuration mechanism that adapts it to particular product automatically.
The MotionView Studio tools suite contains all the software tools needed to program and debug a
SimpleServo Indexer. MotionView Studio is a part of MotionView program. It constrains a full-screen text
editor, program compiler, status and monitor information and debugger (the tool allows you to step
through program you are developing).
The User Program (or Indexer Program) is user-developed program describing programmatic behavior
of the SSi. User Program can be stored in the text file on your PC or in SSi's memory. User Program
needs to be compiled (translated) in binary form before SSi can execute it with aid of MotionView Studio
tools.
Safety Warnings
Warning!
• Hazard of unexpected motor starting! When using the MotionView software, or otherwise
operating the SSi drive over RS-232/485 or Ethernet, 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 in this manner, and that all guards and covers are in place to
protect personnel.
Warning!
• Hazard of electrical shock! Circuit potentials are at 115 VAC or 230 VAC above earth
ground. Avoid direct contact with the printed circuit board 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.
