Configure parameters and tuning
Ensure you have the motor datasheet information available.
Check that the motor is correctly secured and will not be dangerous while moving.
For your own safety:
- Do not exceed the motor current ratings which can cause serious burns or fire to the motor!
- If the motor has a temperature sensor, configure and use it.
- Set overvoltage and undervoltage limits according to your power supply ratings to protect it and prevent damage.
Follow the steps on the configuration wizard of MotionLab 3 that will guide through the process of configuring and tuning the motor and feedbacks.
A good adjustment will improve the electrical efficiency and dynamics of the system.
When you have successful configuration settings, store them on the drive and (optional) a backup file for future use. Check Loading / Saving & Storing / Restoring configurations for further information.
