Servo drive configuration files
This page lists pre-made configuration files for various types of servo motors. Configuration files are provided to ease commissioning of a motor with GD servo drives.
 | These files should be used only as template or starting point to final configuration. Caution and safety guidelines must be accounted when applying these files. Uncontrolled motion or instability may happen. It's required to unmount motor shaft from any load before attempt configuration. |
Notice that motor will change behavior and tuning when mechanical load changes. The configuration files provided here are tuned without any mechanical mounted on motor shaft. Care must be taken and settings adjusted once motor is attached to load. Initial settings may be unstable and oscillate violently when motor is attached to load, or when something is different in the physical system (such as wiring or motor properties).

Using setting files
For parameterization, make sure you understand drive parametrization basics (refer to your drive model user guides in this wiki). To speed up commissioning of motor, pre-made base configuration files are provided for stocked servo motors. Instructions for using the files:
 | When loading settings, have drive disconnected from AC or HV DC bus power for safety reasons. Ensure that all settings and wirings (including emergency stopping) are ready before connecting AC or HV DC bus power. |
- Download motor configuration files
- Connect drive to Granity
- Click Load settings from file and open corresponding configuration file. Choose the file that is most has similar beginning with motor mode (i.e. KANZ04... file for KANZ-04BF8N2 motor).
- Click Save settings on drive non-volatile memory and if choose Apply and Restart drive buttons in the dialogs that may appear
- After drive restarts, connect again to drive and review all settings. For first testing safety it is recommended to reduce current limits Peak current limitMMC and Continuous current limitMCC to a lower value (such as 20% of rated values) in order to limit motor torque if unexpected motion takes place. Also set control mode Control modeCM as required by end application.
- After all Ok, click Apply settings and you're ready to connect AC power for first tests.
- Go to Testing page and begin motor tuning according to Servo motor tuning guide
 | Pre-made motor configuration files may have significantly different motor resistance Coil resistanceMR and inductance Coil inductanceML values compared to motor data sheet. Pre-made files are hand-optimized to give better performance than entering values from data sheet, so it is recommended to leave these values untouched. |
