Determining the motor type

If a motor has no electronic name plate or the offer to scan for motors was declined, the motor type has to be entered manually in the TCDriveManager.

Determining the motor type 1:

Opening the TCDriveManagers

 

In the Solution Explorer, open I/O → Devices → Device 1 → Drive 5 (1).

Open the Configuration tab (2).

→ The TCDriveManager is open.

Determining the motor type 2:

Motor settings

Under the Configuration tab you will see a tree structure on the left-hand side, which can be used for all the required settings.

To check or set the motor type, edit the motor and feedback settings (3).

Open either Channel A or Channel B → Parameter → Motor and Feedback (3).

Determining the motor type 3:

The motor and feedback settings appear to the right of the tree.

 

If the fields Motor type (4) and Feedback 1 type (5) are empty, this may have two reasons:

The motor does not have an electronic name plate: Determine the motor type without electronic name plate

The motor has an electronic name plate that was not read: Determine the motor type with an electronic name plate that was not read
