FILE
Open
A parameter and/or motion task data set is read from the data medium (hard disk, diskette) and
becomes the currently valid set. The servo amplifier must be disabled to do this.
Close
The current data set is closed and not saved.
Save
Saves the current parameter or motion task data set to a data medium (hard disk, diskette) while
keeping the file name, if the data set already has a name. If the data set has not yet got a name, you
will be prompted to enter a name and storage location. You can save parameters and motion task
data to one single file or to separate files.
Save as
Saves the current parameter or motion task data set to a data medium (hard disk, diskette). You will
be prompted to enter a name and storage location.
Print
The current data set will be printed out. You can choose whether the print data are sent to the
system printer or saved to a file.

COMMUNICATION
COM1/COM2/COM3/COM4
If one of these interfaces (ports) is available for communication with a servo amplifier, which means
that it is not used by other equipment or drivers, then the text label appears in full black and can be
selected. Select this interface and use it for the connection to the servo amplifier
Offline
You can still work with the setup software, even if there is no servo amplifier connected. You can
load a set of data from the hard disk (diskette), work on it, and save it again. The software functions
and screen pages that only have a use in the online mode will not be selectable.
Disconnect interfaces
This deactivates the access to the setup software from interfaces COM1 to COM4. This function is
important if, for instance, the servo amplifier is to be accessed from an external program, without
closing the setup software.
Multidrive
With this function, you can establish connection to other amplifiers, that are connected via the
CAN-bus with the amplifier that communicates via the RS232-interface with the PC. Therefore, all
devices must have different addresses.This function should not be used in running field bus applica-
tions.
Update active window only
This affects the updating of the actual-value display in open windows.
activated: only the active window will be updated
de-activated: the actual values will be continuously updated in all open windows, but this is detri-
mental for keeping the active display up to date.
Lower Transmission Priority
Delay of serial communication in favor of the data communication over a field bus.

SERVICE
STOP (F9)
Brakes off the drive movement. The response of the drive varies according to the operating mode
that is valid at the moment:
OPMODE=0
the drive brakes along the preset braking ramp for the speed control loop (DEC)
OPMODE=2
the drive coasts down
OPMODE=8
breaks off the present motion task. The drive brakes along the braking ramp that is
defined in the motion task.
If the screen "Oscilloscope/Service" is active, you can also start the service function from here.
