ACR-View
The ACR-View software is a user-friendly interface for verifying status of and
commanding the Aries Controller. Use ACR-View to perform additional
troubleshooting of your network and drive/controller.
Once you have established an Ethernet connection as indicated by the
Ethernet Network Status LED, launch ACR-View on the computer system
connected to your drive/controller.
1. Open the Configuration Wizard. Select Axes, then select the desired axis
(drive).
2. Set the drive motor combination used, then check the box next to “I want
to edit the mechanical/electrical parameters for my motor (Advanced).”
3. Click Next and verify that the motor parameters are correct.
4. Continue through the configuration wizard and verify that all the
parameters for the axis are correct.
Terminal Emulator (Hyper Terminal)
A terminal emulator such as Hyper Terminal will allow basic access to the
Aries Controller’s native commands. This may be connected directly to the
drive/controller via a standard Ethernet port, using TCP/IP and the IP
address of the Aries Controller. The unit’s IP address is 192.168.100.xx,
where xx is the front panel Address Switch settings.
Set the communication port in Hyper Terminal to 5002, and click OK.
At this point the terminal emulator should be communicating directly with the
Aries Controller, and all native drive commands should function. The
Ethernet communications LED should light up green. For example, the
following command should elicit a response:
?TDTEMP (drive temperature query)
26.000 (drive/controller will respond with the temperature)
