4.1.2. Step 2: Trial Operation with Servomotor Connected to
Machine
Warning
Follow the procedure below for step 2 operation precisely as given.
Malfunctions that occur after the servomotor is connected to the equipment not only damage the
equipment, but may also cause an accident resulting in death or injury.
Before proceeding to step 2, repeat step 1 (servomotor trial operation
without a load) until all concerns including parameters and wiring have
fully satisfied expectations.
After step 1 has been completed, proceed to step 2 for trial operation
with the servomotor connected to the equipment. The servo amplifier is
now adjusted in the following ways to meet the specific equipment’s
characteristics.
• Using autotuning to match the servo amplifier to the equipment’s
characteristics.
• Matching direction of rotation and speed to the equipment’s
specifications.
• Checking the final control form.

Servomotor
Connect to the machine
Follow the procedure below to perform the trial operation.
1. Make sure power is OFF.
2. Connect the servomotor to the equipment.
See
2.1 Servomotors for more details on connecting the servomotor.
3. Use autotuning to match the servo amplifier to equipment
characteristics.
See 6.3 Autotuning.
4. Operate the servomotor by reference input.
As in step 1 (
Servomotor Trial Operation without Load), operate the
servomotor by reference input as described in
4.1.1 Step 1: Trial
Operation for Servomotor without Load.
Tune to match the host
controller at this time, as well.
5. Set and record user settings.
Set parameters as required and record all settings for later use during
maintenance.
Note: The servomotor will not be broken in completely during the trial operation. Therefore, let the system
run for a sufficient amount of time after trial operation has been completed to ensure that it is properly
broken in.
