4 Safety Guidelines
4 Safety Guidelines
● When commissioning, you must ensure that neither the controllers nor the amplifiers
present any risk to persons, plant or machinery. Appropriate protection and
precautionary measures must be put in place.
● To avoid personal injury and material damage, only qualified, trained personnel should
work on the devices.
● Only specialist staff with extensive knowledge of drive technology and control
engineering should be permitted to program a running drive online. Data stored on
data media is not protected from unintended changes by third parties. Data must be
checked for accuracy before it is loaded on to the hardware.
● The installation and operating instructions must be read carefully and all safety
regulations observed before installation and initial operation as danger to personnel and
damage to machinery may be caused.
● Only qualified and well-trained specialists who are familiar with the transportation,
installation, initial operation, maintenance and operation of the units as well as with the
relevant standards may carry out the corresponding works.
● Technical data and indications (Type tag and documentation) are to be kept absolutely.

5 About this manual
5 About this manual

This documentation explains the use of the PDrive.exe setup software for setting
parameters and configuring servo amplifiers of the PMCtendo DD4/5, PMCprimo Drive2/3 and
PMCprotego D series.
The series PMCprimo Drive2/3 differ from the series PMCtendo DD4/5 only in the motion
control functionality.
For this reason the series PMCprimo Drive2/3 is not mentioned furthermore in this
manual. Parameters for the PMCtendo DD4 are concerning the PMCprimo Drive2 too and
parameters for the PMCtendo DD5 the PMCprimo Drive3.
Detailed descriptions of functions and parameters are located in the Object Reference Guide.
The setup software must be installed on a personal computer (PC). The PC is connected
to the servo amplifier by a communication cable. The setup software initiates the
communication
between PC and servo amplifier.
With very little effort you can alter parameters and instantly observe the effect on the servo
amplifier, since there is a continuous (online) connection to the amplifier. At the same time,
important actual values are read out from the servo amplifier and displayed on the monitor of
the PC.
Any interface modules (expansion cards), which may be built into the servo amplifier, are
automatically recognized and the additional parameters required for position control or motion-
block definition are made available.
You can save sets of data on data media (archiving), and load them again. You can also
print out the data sets.
We provide you with default sets of motor-specific data for all the reasonable combinations of
servo amplifier and motor. In most applications you will be able to commission your drive
without any problems, just by using these default values.
Knowledge of the Microsoft Windows operating system and the use of a personal
computer is assumed.
You must follow the safety, installation and commissioning instructions in the
installation manual for the servo amplifier that is used.
We provide training and familiarization courses on request.

6 Prescribed use (“Use as directed”)
6 Prescribed use (“Use as directed”)
The setup software PDrive is intended to be used for altering or storing the operational
parameters for the servo amplifiers of the PMCtendo DD4/5, PMCprimo Drive2/3 and
PMCprotego D series. The servo amplifier that is connected is commissioned with the aid of
the software - whereby the drive can be directly controlled by the setup and service functions.
The characteristic nature of a PC means that these functions are not functionally safe
without further measures. A PC-program might be unexpectedly disturbed or stopped,
so that in the event of a malfunction any movements that have already been initiated
cannot be stopped from the PC.
The manufacturer of the machine must carry out a hazard analysis for the machine, and
is responsible for the functional, mechanical and personnel safety aspects of the
machine. This applies especially to the initiation of movements with the aid of functions
in the commissioning software.
Only personnel who have extensive knowledge in the fields of drive technology and
control technology are permitted to carry out online parameter setting of a drive that is
running.
Sets of data that are stored on data media are not safe from undesirable alteration by
third parties. So after you have loaded a set of data, you must check all the parameters
before enabling the servo amplifier.
The servo amplifiers are components that are built into electrical equipment or
machines, and can only be operated as integral components of such equipment.
The BTB/RTO contact must be wired into the safety loop of the system. The safety loop,
and the Stop and Emergency Stop functions must fulfil the requirements of EN 60204,
EN 292 and VDI 2853.

8.1 Notes
The setup software is basically used in the same way as other Windows programs. Use a
decimal point as the decimal symbol, do not use a comma.
Please note that, after an alteration in a parameter on a screen page, you must first press
„Return“ or select an other parameter on the page, so that the parameter is transferred
to the RAM of the servo amplifier.
If a reset of the servo amplifier is necessary to activate a function, this will be recognized by the
setup software, which will make a reset after a software confirmation request.
The currently valid data set must be saved in the EEPROM of the servo amplifier, in order to be
permanently stored. So execute the Save Data to EEPROM function on the service bar before
you switch off the servo amplifier or quit processing the data set.
8.2 Connection
Connect the interface cable to a serial interface on your PC and to the serial interface of the
servo amplifier.
Start PDrive.exe and click to the button:

9.2 Positioning
9.2.1 Homing
Reference traversing (homing) is an absolute task that is used to zero the drive for
subsequent positioning operations. You can choose between various types of homing.
After homing, the drive reports "InPosition" and then enables the position controller in the
servo amplifier.
The limit switch functions: 2, PSTOP and 3, NSTOP must be activated for digital inputs 3
or 4 to achieve full homing functionality.
Be sure that the zero point of the machine (reference point) is in a position that allows
the subsequent positioning operations. The software limit-switches that were set as
parameters may be ineffective. The axis could move to the hardware limit-switch or even
the mechanical stop. There is a risk of damage.
If the reference point (zero point of the machine) is approached with excessive velocity,
(for instance, because of high moments of inertia), it may be overshot and, in the worst
case, move to the hardware limit-switch or even the mechanical stop. There is a risk of
damage.
The position controller cannot be operated without first making a reference traverse
(homing). A homing/reference traverse must be made after the 24 V supply voltage has
been switched on. The start signal must not be removed during homing. The start signal
must remain present until the "InPosition" message appears.
The SW-enable is set automatically when homing starts. Homing is only started in
OPMODE 8. However, the SW-enable is set in all OPMODEs. The drive can be accelerated
by an analog setpoint that is applied, if the START command is executed in OPMODE 1
or 3.

Pulse 50% of the max. allowable following error.
Peak current is limited to Homing Ipeak during
the movement. (see screen page "Current

Direction of Motion [DREF]

Determines the direction of motion for homing. The setting "distance-dependent" is only
relevant for Homing 5 (within one turn). In this case, the direction is chosen to give the
shortest distance to the zero-mark. This parameter also defines the direction of motion
for a Modulo type of axis.
Homing Speed [VREF]

Speed for the homing operation. The sign is automatically fixed by the selected direction
of motion.
Reference Offset [ROFFS]

With the reference offset you can assign an absolute position value other than 0 to the
reference point. With an offset for the reference position, you are not actually making a
physical change, but the offset is used as a reference value within the position control of
the servo amplifier. Homing to the reference switch does not finish at zero, but at the
preset reference offset value.
The reference offset must be set before homing is started.

Acceleration Ramp [ACCR]
Acceleration ramp for homing operation. This ramp is also valid for jog mode.
Deceleration Ramp [DECR]

Deceleration ramp for the homing operation. This ramp is also valid for jog mode. This
deceleration ramp is only used if the operating mode allows it. For homing to a hardware
limit-switch, the emergency ramp is used.

Behavior for successively repeated starts of Homing 5:

The position controller can only hold the motor in the zero position by passing the zero
mark by ± 1 count. On a repeated start of Homing 5, depending on the position (1 count
in advance of or 1 count behind the zero-mark) and the count direction, the movement
may be a full motor turn!
Homing with limit switches, without homing switch, with feedback zero
Negative traverse, positive count direction Positive traverse, positive count direction
Sets the reference point to the actual position (the following error is not lost). The load does not

Using this type of homing can damage the mechanical stop on the machine. The peak
current, Ipeak, and the continuous current, Irms, are limited for the duration of the
homing run. A more severe limiting of the current is possible. (see parameter Homing
Ipeak on screen page "Current Loop").

9.2.2 Position Data
Axis type [POSCNFG]:

Here you select whether the axis is to be operated as a linear or a rotary axis.
Linear axis A linear axis is an axis with a limited range of travel. A linear axis moves
within the traversing limits that are given by the software limit-switches, both
absolutely and relatively. A reference point must be set.
Modulo axis Axis with a limited range of movement. The minimum position is SRND and
the maximum position is ERND-1. If the maximum position ERND-1 is
reached, it automatically switches over to SRND. The absolute target
positions have to be in the defined range. If a motion task is started, which
has a absolute position outside the range, a warning "n08" is displayed
(wrong motion task). Relative moves are calculated in a way, that the target
position always is in the defined range. A positioning in a axis like this, gives
two possibilities of direction to the target position. DREF gives the possibility
to restrict the direction. This axis type also needs a homing move.
Max. Following Error [PEMAX]

The following error is the maximum difference (+/- window) between the position setpoint and
the actual position that is permitted during processing. If the value leaves this window, then the
position controller generates an error message and brakes the drive, using the emergency
ramp.
In-Position window [PEINPOS]

Sets the InPosition window. Determines at which distance from the set position the „InPosition“
message should be reported. The drive moves precisely to the target position.
Modulo Start-Position [SRND]

The SRND parameter is used to define the start of the range of movement for a modulo axis.
Modulo End-Position [ERND]

The ERND parameter is used to define the end of the range of movement for a modulo axis.
V max(pos.) [PVMAX]
This parameter is used to adjust the maximum speed of movement to suit the limits of the
operative machinery.
V max(neg.) [PVMAXN]
The parameter PVMAXN defines the maximum velocity (in the negative direction) that is
permitted for a motion task.

a-max [PTMIN]
A drive is always so dimensioned that it can provide more power than the application requires.
This parameter determines the limit for the maximum mechanical acceleration time to v_max,

9.2.3 Motion task
9.2.3.1 Overview
For each positioning task, you must define motion tasks. These motion tasks are selected by a
motion task number and stored in the servo amplifier.
Motion task No. Memory Precondition Note

1 .. 180 EEPROM output stage disabled permanently stored
192 .. 255 RAM none volatile storage
When the servo amplifier is switched on, the RAM motion tasks are automatically initialized
with the parameters of the EEPROM motion tasks 1 .. 64.
Motion task No. Memory Precondition Note

1 .. 200 EEPROM output stage disabled permanently stored
201 .. 300 RAM none volatile storage
When the servo amplifier is switched on, the RAM motion tasks are automatically initialized
with the parameters of the EEPROM motion tasks 1 .. 100.
All motion tasks are represented in tabular form. All motion task parameters can be
entered in the table directly. The standard Windows operations are available (Cut, Copy,
Paste, Delete).
The clipboard operations cut, copy and paste are only possible for complete rows so, for
these operations, the appropriate row must be selected. A line can be selected either by
clicking on the row number, or through the keyboard shortcuts <Shift>+<Space>. Double-
clicking a line number in the table opens the screen page for the associated
motion task.
The SW-enable is automatically set when the motion task starts.

The motion task is only started in OPMODE 8. However, the SW-enable is set in all
OPMODEs.
The drive can be accelerated by an analog setpoint that is applied, if the START
command is executed in OPMODE 1 or 3. The motion task is not started if the target
position is beyond the defined SW-limit switches (warning messages n06/n07 and n08).

are checked and set automatically on their defined values. After that the access to these
parameters is denied for the user. The following message appears while saving the parameters
on the servo amplifier:
PMCprimo default values:

- Analog Outputs 1 / 2: ANOUTx = 6
- Digital Inputs 1 / 2 / 3 / 4: INxMODE = 0
- Setpoint Ramp + / -: ACC / DEC = 1
- Ambient Temperature Switch off Threshold MAXTEMPE = 65
- FPGA functionality FPGA = 0
- Source for fieldbus synchronization SYNCSRC = 0
Attention:
The automatically loading of PMCprimo default values can be deselected in the menu „Tools“
