2.2 - STARTING THE SOFTWARE
User levels
When starting the software, various user levels can be selected. The drive parameter modification levels are
protected by passwords. Administrator is the highest level with full access.
Passwords
The Administrator can change all passwords by using the Tools/User identification menu. The default password
for the administrator level is "admin".
Project management
The Gem Drive Studio software allows the parameterization of all Xtrapuls drives for a given application. All
Xtrapuls drives of a given application, connected together via CANopen, are included in the same project. Each
Xtrapuls drive of the project is identified by a node ID which is coded on the drive front panel by means of micro-
switches. The Xtrapuls drive node ID code values must all be different from each other in the same project.
The different software commands allow:
- Creating a project,
- Opening an existing project,
- Adding and/or removing axes in the project,
- Archiving/Unarchiving a project,
Axis directory
For each new axis of the project, the software creates, in the project file directory, a new directory with the axis
name. There will then be one directory per axis and each of these directories will contain the parameter files and
the sequence files.
Object dictionary
Each parameter (object) of the drive can be defined by an Index, a Sub-index and several properties (Save type,
Data type, Unit, Min value, Max value, Default value). The drive supported object list with the corresponding
properties is the object dictionary file in XML format. This file, named EEDS (for Extended Electronic Data
Sheet), is used by Gem Drive Studio to read and write parameters on the drive. A Gem Drive Studio software
command allows the import of an EEDS file to the EEDS library.
Starting Gem Drive Studio
- Start the software with the Administrator level.
- Create the project:
- Define a project name
- Select an output directory
- Define all the axes of the application.
- Define the different project axes:
- Select the device type
- Define the axis name
- Identify the Node ID for this axis
Once a project created, each axis can be independently selected by using the tree structure.
2.3 - DRIVE COMMUNICATION
Powering the drives
Please see manual "Installation Guide" before switching on the drives for the first time. For switching on the
drives, proceed as follows:
- Switch on the +24 V auxiliary supply:
The red front panel LED "ERR" must be blinking ("Undervolt" error displayed).
The AOK relay contact is closed. It is then possible to control the Power ON relay.
- Switch on the power supply:
The red ERR LED must be unlit. The drive is ready to be enabled.
