NOTE: The Motor View window provides a real-time view into the inner workings of
a SmartMotor.
To use the Motor View window:
l
Click Poll to initiate real-time scanning of motor parameters.
l
A program can be running in the motor while the Motor View window is polling. The
program must not print text to the serial channel being used for polling.
l
In addition to the standard items displayed, two fields allow you to select from a list of
additional parameters to display.
For example, in the previous figure, Voltage and Current are being polled. This
information can be useful when setting up a system for the first time, or debugging a
system in the field. Temperature is also useful to monitor in applications with
demanding loads.
l
All seven of the user-configurable onboard I/O points are shown. Any onboard I/O that
is configured as an output can be toggled by clicking on the dot below the designating
number.
l
The SmartMotor has built-in provisions allowing it to be identified by the SMI software.
When a motor is identified, a picture of it appears in the lower left corner of the Motor
View window.
l
Tabs across the top of the window provide access to additional information.
