MotionView / MotionView Studio

There are two versions of MotionView Software: one which resides inside the drive’s memory, referred to as “MotionView
on Board” (MVOB); and one supplied as a PC-installed software package, referred to simply as MotionView. This
manual describes the PC-installed MotionView software for PositionServo drives with P/N ending in EX or RX. The
MotionView display is illustrated in Figure 2.

NOTE
For MotionView OnBoard (MVOB), refer to “PositionServo with MVOB Programming Manual”
document number PM94M01

Figure 2: MotionView Parameters Display

MotionView is the universal programming software used to communicate with and configure the PositionServo drive. The
MotionView platform is segmented into three windows. The first window is the

“Parameter Tree Window”. This window

is used much like Windows Explorer. The various parameter groups for the drive are represented here as folders or files.
Once the desired parameter group file is selected, all of the corresponding parameters within that parameter group will
appear in the second window, the

“Parameter View Window”. The user can then enable, disable or edit drive features

or parameters in the Parameter View window. The third window is the

“Message Window”. This window is located at the

bottom of the screen and will display communication status and errors.

1.3.1 Main Toolbar

The functions of MotionView are accessible via the Main Toolbar as illustrated in Figure 3. If a function in a pull-down
menu or an icon is greyed out that denotes the function is unavailable. A function may be unavailable because a drive
is not physically connected to the network or the present set-up and operation of the drive prohibits access to that
function.
