Introduction
Note Using a Parameter Unit or personal computer enables operation with parameter settings.
■ Cylinder-style and Flat-style Servomotors
The SMARTSTEP A Series offers Flanged Cylinder-style Servomotors, with a smaller mounting
area, and Flat-style Servomotors, with a shorter overall length. The Flat Servomotor depth dimen-
sions are approximately the same as those of stepping motors of the same output capacity. Servo-
motors can be selected by size, thereby making equipment more compact.
■ A Wider Selection of Programming Devices
Special SMARTSTEP A-series Parameter Units and personal computer monitoring software are
available. The special monitoring software enables performing parameter setting, speed and current
monitoring, speed and current waveform displays, I/O monitoring, autotuning, jogging, and other
operations from a computer. It is also possible to perform multiple-axis communications that set the
parameters and monitor operations for multiple Servo Drivers. For details, refer to the Servo Driver
Personal Computer Monitor Software (CD-ROM) for Windows 95/98, Version 2.0 (WMON Win
Ver.2.0) (Catalog No.: SBCE-011).
