8.1 Notes
The setup software is basically used in the same way as other Windows programs. Use a
decimal point as the decimal symbol, do not use a comma.
Please note that, after an alteration in a parameter on a screen page, you must first press
„Return“ or select an other parameter on the page, so that the parameter is transferred
to the RAM of the servo amplifier.
If a reset of the servo amplifier is necessary to activate a function, this will be recognized by the
setup software, which will make a reset after a software confirmation request.
The currently valid data set must be saved in the EEPROM of the servo amplifier, in order to be
permanently stored. So execute the Save Data to EEPROM function on the service bar before
you switch off the servo amplifier or quit processing the data set.
8.2 Connection
Connect the interface cable to a serial interface on your PC and to the serial interface of the
servo amplifier.
Start PDrive.exe and click to the button:
PDrive is trying to read data from the servo amplifier.
If you have never started a communication before, you have to configure the communication
parameters first (PTerm):
Choose a connection, set the
connection parameters and click
to „Connect“.
