ULTRA Series 33
Ultra Master Windows
Ultra Master has a complete set of easy-to-understand windows available
from its pull-down menus. The following is a description of some of these
windows:
Window Description
Drive
The Drive window is the main window for performing functions in the Ultra
Master. It is a feature-rich and functionally-easy method to visually setup, run,
evaluate, and diagnose one or more servo systems. Icon buttons are arranged
by function: setup and control, displays, and diagnostics.
Drive Setup
The Drive Setup window appears automatically when Ultra Master is connected
to an uninitialized drive. Usually the only parameter that you need to select is
the catalog number of the motor that the drive is connected to. The dialog box
allows easy access to drive type, motor model, operation modes, drive name,
communications, and encoder setup.
Drive Parameters
The Drive Parameters window accesses common operating parameters for the
drive including current limits and fault thresholds. This window, along with the
I/O Configuration window, defines the necessary drive parameters for your
application. The Drive Parameters window allows easy selection of command
source, drive modes, and limits.
I/O Configuration
The I/O Configuration window assigns functions to digital inputs and outputs
and routes signals to analog outputs. The active and inactive brake delays are
also set using this screen. I/O assignments are quickly set up by name.
Tuning
For quick setups, Ultra Master has one-button autotuning. For critical tuning
requirements, a built-in function generator allows manual adjustment of the
velocity and position gain loops.
Oscilloscope
The digital oscilloscope provides online monitoring of any drive parameter. Its
functions include positive and negative triggering, continuous tracing, A vs. B
display, and independent channel scaling and offset.
Note: The digital oscilloscope should be used as a reference only. It is not
intended to replace an oscilloscope for true diagnostic situations.
Diagnostics
The Diagnostics screens provide fast verification of various I/O conditions and
allow you to check functions and machine wiring by exercising the digital
outputs. A fault history provides complete information on past conditions, and
a fault check screen provides instant status on any error conditions.
