Inserting a Motor Module or Power Module
When you create a Power Module or Motor Module, the "SERVO" drive object type (high
dynamic drives) is active by default. However, if you are using the "VECTOR" drive object
type (universal drives) in your hardware device configuration, you can change the type of the
module in Startdrive. Many of the following settings depend on the set drive object type.
Setting the correct type is therefore a prerequisite for all further settings during
commissioning and further parameterization of the Power Module or Motor Module.
Note
Revision of the device configuration for a subsequent change of the drive object type
Make sure that you first set the drive object type in the device configuration, and only then
add and specify the motor, measuring systems or supplementary system components.
If you change the drive object type subsequently, there
is a danger that the configuration of
some components is lost and has to be repeated.
Preconditions
● A project has been created.
● The Control Unit is inserted in the device configuration.
● An infeed is inserted.
In case of doubt, you can also add the infeed at a later point in time. However, in this
case, you must manually wire the "infeed" component with the other components.
Note
When you use Power Modules, it is usually possible to dispense with an infeed.
General
The procedure for creating and configuring a device in the device configuration of Startdrive
is almost identical for Motor Modules and Power Modules. The drive device configuration
requires at least one of these modules.
These module types differ mainly by their applications:
● Motor Module:
Single-axis and multiple-axis applications
● Power Module:
Single-axis applications
