{{picturebox|Ioni 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 [[IONI & IONICUBE user guide/Making the first Granity connection|Making the first Granity connection]].}}


{{picturebox|Ioni step3 wiring.png|caption=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 [[Argon user guide/Wiring|Wiring]].}}


{{picturebox|Step4 tuningbaremotor.png|caption=Power-up the system and connect again with Granity. Now set-up the motor to work as intended. See the main article [[IONI & IONICUBE user guide/Drive parameterization|Drive parameterization]]. If you already have a working configuration to your motor model, you may just load the settings file to the drive.}}


{{picturebox|Step5 tuningmachine.png|caption=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]].}}
