6.4.3 Commissioning Wizard
Each type of motor and drive combination has different performance characteristics. Before the
MicroFlex e100 can be used to control the motor accurately, the MicroFlex e100 must be ‘tuned’.
This is the process where the MicroFlex e100 powers the motor in a series of tests. By monitoring
the feedback from the motor’s encoder and performing a number of calculations, the
MicroFlex e100 can make small adjustments to the way it controls the motor. This information is
stored in the MicroFlex e100 and can be uploaded to a file if necessary.
The Commissioning Wizard provides a simple way to tune the MicroFlex e100 and create the
necessary configuration information for your drive/motor combination, so this is the first tool that
should be used. If necessary, any of the parameters set by the Commissioning Wizard can be
adjusted manually after commissioning is complete.
