− | == | + | ==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: | |
