8DrvGII PC Utility

8.1Overview

The DrvGII PC Utility consists of three components that are accessed from the following menus: “operation menu,” “action menu,” and “data management menu.”

8.1.1Overview of the Operation Menu

The operation menu contains the following three functions

Terminal:

This menu allows you to send and receive character strings to/from the G2 driver (hereinafter referred to as the “driver”), monitor parameters/monitors as well as errors/alarms, and use parameter/command help.

Servo control:

This menu allows you to adjust the servo parameters of the motor through auto-tuning and manual tuning. It also allows you to adjust various compensation filters.

Oscilloscope:

This function displays graphs of time-series of parameter/monitor values.

8.1.2Overview of the Action Menu

In the action menu, you can set and display parameters, display monitors, and start or stop actions related to the operations listed below.

“Homing move,” “jog move,” and “Test operation.”

8.1.3Overview of the Data Management Menu

The data management menu contains the following seven functions:

Parameter:

This function allows you to save all the parameters to files and register them from files. It also allows you to edit the machine setting parameters.

I/O set:

This function allows you to set the logical setting of I/O points.

Pulse setting:

This function allows you to perform various parameter settings related to pulses.

Absolute precision compensation:

This function allows you to edit, register, and save absolute precision compensation data.

(This setting is valid if the absolute precision option is set to “yes,” with which the absolute precision of the motor is compensated for the entire circumference.)
