| − | ==The setup process== | + | ==Preparations== |
| − | + | ===Setup process overview=== | |
| + | The setup process is straightforward and kept as understandable as possible. In short the process goes as follows: | ||
| + | # Power up drive's logic voltage and test connection to [[Granity]] Argon setup software | ||
| + | # Make all necessary wiring to motor, AC mains and [[controller]] | ||
| + | # Once wired, connect again with [[Granity]] to make paramerization & servo tuning | ||
| + | # Finalize setup | ||
| + | In case of troubles, refer to [[#Troubleshooting|troubleshooting]] chapter and articles in [[:Category:Troubleshooting|troubleshooting category]] | ||
| + | ===What you will need?=== | ||
| + | Items needed during this guide: | ||
| + | *Argon drive | ||
| + | *[[SimpleMotion V2 USB adapter]] | ||
| + | *2 or more RJ45 Ethernet cables (Cat 5/5e/6, straight connection, '''not''' cross linked) | ||
| + | *Emergencency stop button (normally closed NC type) or equivalent | ||
| + | *Regulated 24 VDC power supply, output capability at least 0.7A per drive | ||
| + | *Servo motor | ||
| + | *Shielded AC power conductors | ||
| + | Optional but highly recommended items: | ||
| + | *[[Argon braking resistor|Braking resistor]] | ||
| + | *[[EMI suppression cores|Ferrite core EMI filters]] | ||
| + | *AC line EMI filter | ||
| + | Tools needed: | ||
| + | *Screwdriver | ||
| + | *Wire cutter | ||
| + | *Windows computer | ||
| + | Skills needed: | ||
| + | *Qualified electrician skills (license to make mains AC connections) | ||
| + | *Basic kowledge of servo systems | ||
| + | ==Step 1, testing connection to computer== | ||
| + | ===Preparations=== | ||
| + | # Download and install the [[Granity]] software. Lates version is downloadable from the link: [http://granitedevices.com/assets/files/granity_setup.exe Granity software] for windows (approx 10 MB) | ||
| + | # Connect PE of [[Argon_wiring#J3_24V_power_and_motor_brake_port|J4 connector]] to protective earth. After that wire 24 VDC power supply to Argon's [[Argon_wiring#J3_24V_power_and_motor_brake_port|J3 connector]], however do not power up yet. | ||
| + | # Set Argon DIP switches to give an bus address to the device. | ||
| + | # Connect Argon J2.1 connector to [[SimpleMotion V2 USB adapter]] with a straight Ethernet cable and plug USB adapter to computer. | ||
| + | # Power up the 24 VDC power. Some leds should start blinking at the drive (specifily LD3 and/or LD4). | ||
| + | # Launch Granity software and: | ||
| + | ##Go to Connect tab | ||
| + | ##Ensure that SM V2 USB adapter is selected from drowdown list called ''Communication interface device'' | ||
| + | ##Click ''Connect to drive'' | ||
| + | ##Once list of connected drives pop up, select the one you connected and click ''Open'' | ||
| + | Now if everything has gone well, you should see information like drive model and serial number on the Connect tab. Connection has been successfully tested and drive may be disconnected to proceed with next setup step. | ||
