9.2.2.2 Software description
Each drive must be configured according to the requirements of your machine. For most applications you can use a
PC and WorkBench (the software to setup your drive) to set up the operating conditions and parameters for your
drive.
An EtherNet cable connects the PC with the drive (➜ # 148) WorkBench establishes the communication between
PC and drive.
Please find the software to set up your drive on the accompanying DVD or in the download area of the Kollmorgen
website.
With WorkBench you can
l
easily change parameters and directly see what happens with your drive due to a continuous online connection to
the drive,
l
read important and actual values from the drive which are displayed on the PC (oscilloscope functions),
l
save data sets on data media (archiving) and load them onto other drives or use them for backup and
l
print data sets.
Most standard feedback systems are plug and play compatible. Motor nameplate data is stored in the feedback
device and read by the drive automatically at startup. Non-plug and play Kollmorgen motors are stored in
WorkBench and can be loaded with one-click using the Motor screen in the software.
An extensive online help with integrated description of all variables and functions supports you in each situation.
