UniDrive device

The UniDrive device has a system of option modules. Depending on the type of the option modules used, the setup is slightly different.

SM-Application and SM CAN-Open

Prerequisites

You need these applications:

CTSoft

This program is used to inspect and set parameters on the device. It can also reset the device and save drive parameters in a file.

SyPTPro

This program is used to load a program on the application module. It can also monitor the program execution and inspect variables while the program is running.

Setup of a new device

First you need to establish communication with the drive. There are several ways to do this, e.g. serial communication or CTNet fieldbus. This topic is not covered here.

Each UniDrive device controls a single undulator axle. All axles are numbered, starting with 1 for the first gap axle.

Attention

The following steps with CTSoft must be done separately for each UniDrive device.

Connect with CTSoft. to the device by selecting “go online”.

In the list below replace AXLENUMBER with the number of the axle.

Set the following parameters:

Parameter

value

description

#18.11

AXLENUMBER [1]

#17.12

4

sets the ‘POS’ task run every 2ms

#17.13

1

select program autostart

Now select “save parameters in drive” to make the changes permanent.

Now quit CTSoft and start SyPTPro.

Caution

When you connection to the UniDrive device is not via TCP/IP, CTSoft and SyPTPro cannot go online simultaneously. Only one of the applications should be online at a time.

Attention

SyPTPro connects to all drives of a SyPTPro project simultaneously. The “download” command below as a default transfers the program to all drives.

In SyPTPro load the SyPT project file, then:

  • Select “Rebuild all”

  • Go online

  • Select “download to drive”

SI-Application and SI CAN-Open

Prerequisites

You need these applications:

Connect

This program is used to inspect and set parameters on the device. It can also reset the device and save drive parameters in a file. This program can connect to the newer modules of Unidrive, e.g. M700, via TCP/IP.

SyPTPro

This program is used to load a program on the application module. It can also monitor the program execution and inspect variables while the program is running.

Setup of a new device

First you need to establish communication with the drive. Each Unidrive device has an IP address and the programs connect via TCP/IP.

Each UniDrive device controls a single undulator axle. All axles are numbered, starting with 1 for the first gap axle.

Attention

The following steps with Connect must be done separately for each UniDrive device.

Connect with Connect. to the device by selecting “go online”.

Set the following parameters:

Parameter

value

#SLOT.01.004 [2]

AXLENUMBER [1]

#SLOT.01.005 [2]

0

sets the baud rate to 1Mbit

#SLOT.01.008 [2]

1

selects “control by master”

#SLOT.01.010 [2]

#SLOT.01.011 [2]

4

selects “no action”

#SLOT.01.021 [2]

selects “UNIDRIVE M”

#18.11

AXLENUMBER [1]

#17.12

4

sets the ‘POS’ task run every 2ms

#17.13

1

select program autostart

Now select “save parameters in drive” to make the changes permanent.

Attention

SyPTPro connects to all drives of a SyPTPro project simultaneously. The “download” command below as a default transfers the program to all drives.

Start SyPTPro.

In SyPTPro load the SyPT project file, then:

  • Select “Rebuild all”

  • Go online

  • Select “download to drive”
