{{picturebox|Step1 collectthings.png|caption=Read the page [[Argon user guide/List of things needed|List of things needed]] for details.}}
+
===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)
 +
*Emergency stop button (normally closed NC type) or equivalent
 +
*Regulated 24 VDC power supply, output capability at least 0.7A per drive
 +
*A [[Argon user guide/Motor compatibility|Argon compatible servo motor]]
 +
*Recommended: Shielded AC power conductors. Non-shielded will work but increase [[Electromagnetic interference|EMI]].
 +
;Optional but highly recommended items
 +
*[[Argon braking resistor|Braking resistor]]
 +
*[[EMI suppression cores|Ferrite core EMI filters]]
 +
*AC [[Power line filter]]
 +
;Tools needed
 +
*Screwdrivers
 +
*Wire cutter
 +
*Windows PC
 +
;Skills needed
 +
*Qualified electrician skills (license to make mains AC connections)
 +
*Basic knowledge 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''

{{picturebox|Step2 granityconnection.png|caption=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 [[Argon user guide/Making the first Granity connection|Making the first Granity connection]]}}
+
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.
