Configuration Guidelines
Configuring Ultraware
Software for Linear Stages
with Ultra3000 Drives
Chapter 6
The following steps assume that the MP-Series linear stage and an Ultra3000
servo drive are installed and wired as one axis of a motion system.
1. Connect a serial cable model, catalog number 2090-DAPC-D09xx, to the
CN3 connector on your Ultra3000 servo drive.
2. Apply ac input power to the Ultra3000 drive.
3. Establish communication with the Ultra3000 drive, and click Cancel
when the Ultra3000 motor database dialog box appears.
Clicking Cancel causes the Ultraware software to scan for online drives.
When a drive is found, an Online Drive icon displays in the Workspace.
4. Double-click the Online Drive icon to view the main Drive setup dialog
box.
5. Perform the action in the following table appropriate for your type of
linear stage.
If your linear stage is a
Do this
Direct drive
MPAS-xxxxxx-ALMO2C
Select your direct drive linear stage from the drop down in the
Motor Model dialog box, and then verify the data in the Motor
Field is correct for your direct drive linear stage.
Ball Screw
MPAS-xxxxx-V05S2A, or MPAS-xxxxxV20S2A
Verify the data in the Model Field is correct for your ball screw
linear stage.
Auto Motor Iden (identification) is enabled for only ball screw linear stages.
Auto Motor Iden remotely identifies the motor, and then populates the
model field with the appropriate motor information. Direct drive linear
stages do not interact with Auto Motor Iden, and the model field data must
be manually selected for the appropriate motor information to load.
6. From the Displayed Units pull-down menu, choose User.
This programs Ultraware software to make distance moves in User Units
(mm or in.).
7. In the Motor Encoder Units pull-down menu, enter the appropriate values
from the following tables.
Velocity, position, and acceleration counts per unit are based on the
selected User Units (mm or in.).
