4 - STARTING AND ADJUSTING THE AMPLIFIER
This chapter describes the commissioning procedure of the amplifier by means of the " Visual Amplifier Setup"
software.
• Connect the serial link RS232 between PC and amplifier.
• Switch on the amplifier and start the Visual Drive Setup software on the PC, under WINDOWS
®
.
If the message No serial communication found is displayed on the screen, click on OK and check the following
points:
o The amplifier must be on,
o The correct RS232 connection between amplifier and PC,
o The correct software configuration (Com.port, ...).
For a parameter setting of the amplifier via the Visual Drive Setup software:
• Switch the amplifier to Local mode, that means switch address = 0 (see Chapter 3, section 3),
or
• Disable the CANopen communication by means of Visual Drive Setup.
4.1 - AMPLIFIER ADJUSTMENT TO THE MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
4.1.1 - CONFIGURATION OF THE SENSOR TYPE
The configuration of the sensor type is software selectable and saved in the amplifier EEPROM.
The amplifier is configured as standard for a resolver sensor. For motors equipped with a position encoder, please
proceed as follows:
♦ Select the appropriate encoder type in the Feedback configuration menu.
♦ Then select Encoder feedback and confirm this selection.
If the motor is equipped with Hall effect sensors, check that the INHIBIT input is enabled and the amplifier is on,
before moving manually the motor over one revolution or one pole pitch on linear motors. If the HES error is
displayed, switch off the amplifier and check the following points before switching it on again:
♦ The Hall effect sensors (HES) must be correctly connected on the amplifier X3 connector (if 60° Hall sensor
types are used, check the various wiring combination of the HES signals for finding the right wiring order).
♦ Check for the correct supply voltage of the Hall sensors.
♦ Check for the correct value of the Motor encoder resolution parameter.
If the motor Hall sensors do not work correctly, select the appropriate incremental encoder type (Incremental
Encoder) (without HES) in the Feedback configuration menu and start the amplifier commissioning with this
configuration.
If the motor used is equipped with an absolute Sin/Cos encoder over one revolution (Heidenhain ERN 1085 or
compliant), check that the INHIBIT input is enabled and the amplifier on. Then move manually the motor over one
revolution. If the HES error is displayed, switch off the amplifier and check the following points before switching it
on again:
♦ The commutation channels of the Sin/Cos encoder must be correctly wired on the amplifier X3 connector.
♦ Check for the correct supply voltage of the Sin/Cos encoder.
♦ Check for the correct value of the Motor encoder resolution parameter.
Perform the Save parameters to EEPROM procedure before switching off the amplifier in order to save the
sensor configuration.
