DriveWare™
ADVANCED Motion Controls provides software and programming tools for all levels of integration with DigiFlex® Performance™ servo drives.
DriveWare™ - Software used for commissioning and troubleshooting all DigiFlex® Performance™ servo drives.
DriveWare™
(Current Version 5.8.5 - released Jan 2009)
DriveWare™ software is used to commission all ADVANCED Motion Controls Digiflex® Performance™ digital servo drives. All drive limits, control loops (current, velocity, and position), and event handling can be configured in DriveWare. Notable features include a fully functional multi-channel oscilloscope, function generator and user friendly layout and interface.
DriveWare™ Overview
 |
|
 |
|
DriveWare parameters are arranged in an intuitive block diagram format. Parameters are grouped into categories such as: motor, feedback, control loops, control method, limits and I/O.
Within these groupings you can set the gain stages, control settings and safety limits easy to find and understand. |
 |
The built-in oscilloscope and function generator make it easy to find the optimal tuning gains quickly and achieve the highest performance. The effect of gain changes can be observed in real time and adjustments can be made while the system is in operation. |
 |
All Inputs and Outputs are configurable and mappable with over 60 events and signals.
For example:
You can set Programmable Analog Output 2 (PAO2) to output a voltage proportional to the Motor Velocity with a scaling of 1V = 3.5krpm.
Or set Programmable Digital Input 1 (PDI1) to Disable the Drive and Active Low.
Or set Programmable Digital Output 2 (PDO2) to Latch High from a Motor Overspeed event. |
 |
Once the servo drive is configured the settings can be stored in the drive's nonvolatile memory as well as be saved for easy transfer to other drives. |
