This is the official and latest setup guide of Argon (servo drive). Read it through before installing or operating Argon.
NOTE: This guide attempts to be as complete and precise as humanly possible, however it can never be perfect. Writers of this guide are not responsible if possible damages or losses caused by mistakes or lacks of this guide.
IMPORTANT: Argon drive should be installed and operated only by qualified electricians. Dangerous voltages and mechanics are involved and possibility of severe injury or even death is possible in case of installation or usage errors.
 | This user guide is also available as  Argon user manual PDF and a long single page version. |
Reading the guide[edit | edit source]
Read trough the guide by following the outline on the top right side of the page and follow the hyper links to subtopics provided in the articles. Many useful and important key points are presented as:
 | Electrical hazard warning (safety) |
 | Warning/Caution (safety) |
 | Machine danger (safety) |
 | Risk of equipment damage |
| Info |
 | Tip |

Argon introduction[edit | edit source]
Argon is a servo motor drive designed by Granite Devices. If you are not familiar with the features and specifications of the drive, see following articles:
- Argon (servo drive) - overview & features
- Argon specifications - electrical, physical and operating condition specs
The setup process[edit | edit source]
Read the page List of things needed for details.
Connect drive to PC with SimpleMotion V2 USB adapter and Granity to test connection, upgrade firmware if necessary and to learn Granity. If you're already familiar with all this, you may skip this step. Read the article Making the first Granity connection
Carefully do the full wiring of the servo system. Consult an qualified electrician if necessary as dangerous voltages will be present. Before powering up, triple check everything by using multimeter to find short circuits. Read the main article Wiring.
Power-up the system and connect again with Granity. Now set-up the motor to work as intended. See the main article Drive parameterization. If you already have a working configuration to your motor model, you may just load the settings file to the drive.
After motor and drive are fully functional, connect motor to the mechanical load and find the optimum velocity or position control gains. Read the main article Servo motor tuning guide.
Troubleshooting[edit | edit source]
In case of troubles, refer to the articles in general troubleshooting category and Argon troubleshooting category.
