Chapter 3 Configuring the Ultra3000 Drive
Switching the SERCOS Interface
A SERCOS interface to the Ultra3000 may be activated and deactivated through
Ultraware software. When the SERCOS interface is active, Ultraware software
shows the drive as a SERCOS drive with a limited set of subtopics. An active
SERCOS interface requires primary control and communication with the drive
be assigned to the SERCOS controller. However, Ultraware software permits you
to deactivate the SERCOS interface. If you deactivate the SERCOS interface,
Ultraware software recognizes the drive with full communication and control
capabilities, including reactivating SERCOS control and communication.
To Deactivate the SERCOS Interface
1. Right-click the SERCOS drive icon,
, and then click Deactivate
Sercos from the pop-up menu.
2. Click OK to reset the drive as non-SERCOS drive.
3. Wait several seconds for the software to scan and recognize the drive.
When the SERCOS interface is deactivated, the drive may be configured through
Ultraware software. Reactivating the SERCOS interface passes control of the
drive from Ultraware software to the SERCOS controller.
To Activate the SERCOS Interface
1. Right-click the drive icon,
, and then click Sercos Activation.
2. Click OK to reset drive as a SERCOS drive.
3. Verify the drive icon changes to a SERCOS drive.
When the SERCOS interface is activated, the drive is controlled by the SERCOS
controller, and Ultraware software maps the drive with the SERCOS drive icon.
