Section 5

Setup

Overview

There are two ways to setup the parameters: use the keypad or use Intelliware

 

serial communications software. The procedures presented in this section allow

 

LinStep+ to be configured using the keypad (LXKP). If you are not familiar with

 

the operation of the keypad, please refer to Section 4 of this manual. To ensure

 

that LinStep+ is correctly configured, follow all the procedures so that important

 

parameters are not overlooked.

 

Intelliware software (serial communications) users can refer to this section for

 

definition of the configuration parameters. The Windows dialog boxes follow the

 

keypad menu structure very closely. Details of Intelliware software are provided in

 

MN1855.

 

Procedure Format Definition

 

The 2–character ASCII command appears in brackets next to the keypad

 

command. This is the Intelliware software command. Configuring LinStep+ to a

 

specific application requires customizing a number of software parameters to

 

match the mechanics of the system. These parameters include motor, encoder,

 

distance, acceleration and velocity scaling, I/O, jog, home, and serial

 

communication.
