Configuring the S200 Drive

When connected to a motor equipped with the Smart Feedback Device (SFD), the S200 drive will automatically configure most of its operating parameters. For many applications requiring an analog torque or analog velocity block, no additional set up beyond the setting of the two switches is required to fully commission the drive. For such cases, connection to a computer to commission the drive is not required. The quick setup is useful for simplifying machine field upgrades/repairs and for reducing spare part inventory. See Configuring with SFD Feedback.

The dirve can also be configured for a simple analog Torque/Current control with 6-Step (Hall) Feedback type by simply setting the switches. See Configuring Current Mode with 6-Step (Hall) Feedback.

The S200 drive has many advanced capabilities to aid machine design through its diagnostic and measurement capabilities accessed through the Windows compatible S200Tools GUI utility. The drive also has many advanced motion capabilities that can be set up through the S200Tools utility. For example, if desired, the settings of the switches can be overridden in drive non-volatile memory to eliminate any accidental miss-adjustment of the drive in the field. See the Advanced Configuration section for more details.
