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 and velocity drive 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. 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.
SimpleMotion Language (SML): SML is the programming language utilized by MotionView. The SML software provides
a very flexible development environment for creating solutions to motion applications. The software allows you to create
complex and intelligent motion moves, process I/O, perform complex logic decision making, do program branching,
utilize timed event processes, as well as a number of other functions found in PLC’s and high end motion controllers.
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 or 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 interface of the MotionView platform. It is a tool suite containing
all the software tools needed to program and debug a PositionServo. These tools include a full-screen text editor, a
program compiler, status and monitor utilities, an online oscilloscope and a debugger 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
in this manner, 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 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.
