DS2100 User's Manual

C27750-001 PAGE 4-3

4.1 Introduction

The getting started guide will provide you with the information needed to get a DS2100 configured and operational. The

guide will show the typical steps required to operate a DS2100 controller using the Windrive Software.

Before starting this section the user should become familiar with Sections 1 - Sections 3 of this manual, in particular

safety notices and hazard warnings.

After completing this guide the user will be able to perform basic motor operations using a DS2100 in both Torque and

Velocity Mode.

Note

: The example in this chapter demonstrates how to set up and configure a

motor with resolver feedback.

4.2 Initial Preparation

Install the drive as per Section 3 with regards to the safety notices indicated in section 2. As a minimum the following

items are required before getting started:

 A DS2100 Controller.

 A PC Running Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 6 or later), Windows 2000, Windows

XP with at least one RS232 serial port

 24Vd.c and/or 230V/400Va.c

 Motor with resolver feedback

 Drive Enable Input

4.3 Power Supply

The DS2100 requires a control power source to supply backup-power for the control electronics. This control-backup

power is useful where the user requires that the DS2100 does not lose absolute position data or status information when

AC mains power is removed from the DS2100.

For the G361-x003 &-x006 a 24V

logic backup supply is mandatory for the drive to operate. No internal high voltage

backup is provided on the smaller µA models.
