Drive Parameter Configuration
This is the first step in configuring the drive. In order to tune and commutate a motor, the
drive must have information about scale factors, feedback devices, motor parameters, and
limits. In DriveWare, each of the windows in the table below must be filled out with
accurate data.
The easiest way to configure a new drive, or one that has had a factory default project file
downloaded to it is to use the Drive Configuration Wizard . The wizard walks you
through each of the necessary windows to configure the drive parameters. Once the
wizard is complete, the drive will be ready for Command Input and Scaling. To use the
wizard, select Tools > Wizard on the main menu bar, or click on the drive configuration
wizard icon , otherwise find each of the following tables in the DriveWare
software and fill in the appropriate information.
It is not required to use the wizard to configure your drive. The table below shows where
to find each window in the setup software.
