Configuring Impulse with the Keypad
Open a File
Using the EDIT > FILE menu, open a project file.
Using the EDIT > SETUP Menus to Configure the Impulse
The EDIT > SETUP menus allow you to configure your motor,
mechanical units, I/O, operating characteristics, and perform
advanced tuning of your system for optimum performance.
MOTOR SETUP
Configuring Motor Type
This menu allows you to select a preconfigured IDC motor type. In addition to IDC motor types, the
keypad can store one custom motor type. The keypad does not contain a motor editor, so custom
motor types must be created using the Application Developer *motor editor, then loaded into the
keypad via a project file.
*See Application Developer > Axis Setup > Motor Tab > Edit Motor
1. Using ↑↓ arrow keys, scroll the list of motors until the desired motor appears on the bottom line.
2. Press ESC to save your motor selection.
Probing the Motor
A new drive setup must be instructed to probe itself after you have selected motor type on the keypad
(procedure on next page). The internal setup parameters obtained during the motor probe are stored
in nonvolatile memory so that the process need not be repeated every time the power is cycled.
Each time a different type of motor is connected to the drive, the motor must be probed. The drive
should always be reconfigured for a new motor to avoid degrading the anti resonance feature and
OLSD™. When the drive is probing the attached motor, a short 1 kHz tone will be heard emanating
from the motor. Depending on motor type, this tone may persist for anywhere from several seconds
to half a minute.
The motor probe may be initiated (1) immediately after configuring motor type, or (2) after all
parameters in the EDIT menus have been configured. In either case, the following procedure applies:
