Chapter 2 - Commissioning
This chapter describes the commissioning procedure of the drive by means of the "Gem Drive Studio" software.
2.1 - PC SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
The Gem Drive Studio software is PC compliant under Windows® and allows an easy parameterization of the
Xtrapuls drive.
Please see our website www.infranor.com for downloading the "Gem Drive Studio" software.
Minimum Configuration
The use of the Gem Drive Studio software requires the minimum PC configuration described below:
Pentium III processor,
512 MB RAM,
15" screen, 256 colour screen, 1024x768 resolution
Keyboard + mouse
Windows XP Service pack2 operating system
Microsoft .NET Framework V3.5 installed
55 MB available on hard disk
RS232 cable or USB/RS232 adapter cable.
Important note
: If using a USB/RS232 adapter, it is highly recommended to choose an industrial product rather
than a consumer product, because of reliability and performances. It is in particular mandatory to have shielded
cables (see application note regarding the use of USB/RS232 adapters).
Restrictions
Under Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, the Service Pac 1 must be installed.
Installation
During the installation, one or several messages indicating that a currently copied file is older than a file already
existing on the PC, may be displayed. In this case, keep the PC file.
When installing the software, 3 icons are created on the desktop:
o "GemDriveStudio", for launching the main interface.
o "GemDriveOscillo", for launching the digital oscilloscope.
o "GemDriveTerminal", for opening a dialog terminal.
CAUTION !
Do not perform the drive parameterization by means of both "Gem Drive Studio" software
tool and CANopen bus at the same time.
