Chapter 7 Commission
Once you have applied your configurations, the factory defaults for dynamic
configuration attributes, for example, gain, limits, and filter settings are
automatically computed. The calculations are based on your drive and motor
configuration settings and selection for application type and loop response.
The factory defaults yield a stable operational system that can then be tailored to
the specific requirements for many types of machine applications.
If you find that the gain set provided to you by the factory defaults does not
satisfy your configuration requirements of your system, then you can use
Autotune to improve performance.
See Autotune Dialog Box on page 160

Hookup Tests Dialog Box
Use the Hookup Tests dialog box to check the following:
• your cabling
• adjust motor and feedback polarity
• establish your sense of positive motion direction
• and, if applicable, check encoder marker and commutation function.
To run any of the Hookup Tests, you must first download your program.
These tasks are the run tests on the Hookup test dialog box.
• Download a program.
• Run a Hookup test to test motor and feedback device wiring.
• Run a Marker test to check for the marker pulse.
• Run a Motor Feedback test to check for feedback counts.
• Set a test distance and run a Motor and Feedback test.
• Run a Load Feedback test.
• Run a Commutation test.
The combination of the Axis and Feedback configuration types you choose
determines what Hookup tests are available.
ATTENTION: These tests can actively move the axis even with the
controller in remote Program mode:
• Before you do the tests, make sure no one is in the way of the axis.
• Changing motor or feedback after performing the Hookup Test can
result in an axis-runaway condition when the drive is enabled.
