4 Safety Guidelines

● When commissioning, you must ensure that neither the controllers nor the amplifiers present any risk to persons, plant or machinery. Appropriate protection and precautionary measures must be put in place.

● To avoid personal injury and material damage, only qualified, trained personnel should work on the devices.

● Only specialist staff with extensive knowledge of drive technology and control engineering should be permitted to program a running drive online. Data stored on data media is not protected from unintended changes by third parties. Data must be checked for accuracy before it is loaded on to the hardware.

● The installation and operating instructions must be read carefully and all safety regulations observed before installation and initial operation as danger to personnel and damage to machinery may be caused.

● Only qualified and well-trained specialists who are familiar with the transportation, installation, initial operation, maintenance and operation of the units as well as with the relevant standards may carry out the corresponding works.

● Technical data and indications (Type tag and documentation) are to be kept absolutely.

5 About this manual

This documentation explains the use of the PDrive.exe setup software for setting parameters and configuring servo amplifiers of the PMCtendo DD4/5, PMCprimo Drive2/3 and PMCprotego D series.

The series PMCprimo Drive2/3 differ from the series PMCtendo DD4/5 only in the motion control functionality. For this reason the series PMCprimo Drive2/3 is not mentioned furthermore in this manual. Parameters for the PMCtendo DD4 are concerning the PMCprimo Drive2 too and parameters for the PMCtendo DD5 the PMCprimo Drive3.

Detailed descriptions of functions and parameters are located in the Object Reference Guide.

The setup software must be installed on a personal computer (PC). The PC is connected to the servo amplifier by a communication cable. The setup software initiates the communication between PC and servo amplifier.

With very little effort you can alter parameters and instantly observe the effect on the servo amplifier, since there is a continuous (online) connection to the amplifier. At the same time, important actual values are read out from the servo amplifier and displayed on the monitor of the PC.

5 About this manual

Any interface modules (expansion cards), which may be built into the servo amplifier, are automatically recognized and the additional parameters required for position control or motionblock definition are made available.

You can save sets of data on data media (archiving), and load them again. You can also print out the data sets.

We provide you with default sets of motor-specific data for all the reasonable combinations of servo amplifier and motor. In most applications you will be able to commission your drive without any problems, just by using these default values.

Knowledge of the Microsoft Windows operating system and the use of a personal computer is assumed. You must follow the safety, installation and commissioning instructions in the installation manual for the servo amplifier that is used.

We provide training and familiarization courses on request.

6 Prescribed use (“Use as directed”)

The setup software PDrive is intended to be used for altering or storing the operational parameters for the servo amplifiers of the PMCtendo DD4/5, PMCprimo Drive2/3 and PMCprotego D series. The servo amplifier that is connected is commissioned with the aid of the software - whereby the drive can be directly controlled by the setup and service functions.

The characteristic nature of a PC means that these functions are not functionally safe without further measures. A PC-program might be unexpectedly disturbed or stopped, so that in the event of a malfunction any movements that have already been initiated cannot be stopped from the PC.

The manufacturer of the machine must carry out a hazard analysis for the machine, and is responsible for the functional, mechanical and personnel safety aspects of the machine. This applies especially to the initiation of movements with the aid of functions in the commissioning software.

Only personnel who have extensive knowledge in the fields of drive technology and control technology are permitted to carry out online parameter setting of a drive that is running. Sets of data that are stored on data media are not safe from undesirable alteration by third parties. So after you have loaded a set of data, you must check all the parameters before enabling the servo amplifier.

The servo amplifiers are components that are built into electrical equipment or machines, and can only be operated as integral components of such equipment.

The BTB/RTO contact must be wired into the safety loop of the system. The safety loop, and the Stop and Emergency Stop functions must fulfil the requirements of EN 60204, EN 292 and VDI 2853.

Interface

Windows 2000, XP, Vista or 7

Minimum requirements of operating system

one free serial interface Ethernet interface (optional)

7.2 Installation under Microsoft Windows

The PC interface (X6, RS232) of the servo amplifier is connected to the serial interface of the PC.

You can order the necessary programming cable from us or make one up yourself. The pin assignment can be found in the installation manual of the servo amplifiers.

Start your PC and insert the Motion Control Tools-CD into the CD-ROM drive. The installation software will start automatically. Otherwise start MInstall.exe on the CD-ROM.

Click on „Install Motion Control Tools“ and follow the instructions.

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“.

Connection parameter:

Device Baud rate Handshake

PMCtendo DD4 / PMCprimo Drive2 9600 XON/XOFF

PMCtendo DD5 / PMCprimo Drive3 / PMCprotego D 38400 XON/XOFF

PDrive is now reading the actual parameters of the servo amplifier.

A previously opened data set in PDrive will be overwritten with the new data.

If there is no communication possible, you will receive this message:

In this case check the following:

1. Is the servo amplifier's 24V supply voltage connected?

2. Has the correct PC interface been selected?

3. Has the correct servo amplifier interface been selected?

4. Has an incorrect connection cable been used?

5. Has the correct baud rate been set?

Find the error, rectify it and then restart the connection.
