Operational Overview

This section provides a complete functional description of the FM-3. It is intended to provide you with a thorough understanding of all operations. The description includes references to many FM-3 module and drive parameters which can be displayed and/or edited using PowerTools Pro software, or through any Modbus interface.

The FM-3 module augments the drive by providing the ability to implement programs written using PowerTools Pro. When a FM-3 module is attached to an drive, it overrides the operation and user accessible features of the drive. The drive’s basic operating modes (Pulse, Velocity and Torque) are not available when a FM-3 module is attached.

The FM-3 module stores drive setup parameters within the module itself. This allows you to transfer the FM-3 module to another drive without losing setup parameters.

The FM-3 module allows you to set up 55 different indexes, Jog functions and multiple Homes. It also provides eight digital input lines and four digital output lines in addition to the four input and three output lines available on the drive.

Software Interface

The FM-3 module is set up using PowerTools Pro software. PowerTools Pro is an easy-to-use Windows® based setup and diagnostics tool. It provides you with the ability to create, edit and maintain your drive’s setup. You can download or upload your setup data to or from a device. You can also save it to a file on your PC or print it for review or permanent storage.
