Autopilot

631 Digital Servo Drive
Y
OUR
The EASYRIDER software tool is provided to fine-tune the 631 servo drive to the motor, and
program the servo drive for operation using either "Position Blocks" or the BIAS programming
language.
Install the software which is available as a DOS version, or suitable for use as a Windows
application. You can either connect the drive to your PC or you can have the software simulate a
drive. We suggest you practice using a simulation before attempting a set-up for the first time.
When running the software you should be aware of the following:
• The software is password protected. It will initialise with an authorisation of Level 0 (if an
incorrect password is entered it will default to Level 0). At this level you can view the
software without making permanent changes. To configure the drive, you must enter EASY
when asked for the password by Autopilot. This will increase the authorisation to Level 1
allowing you to write permanent changes to the drive. (You can also enter this in the menu:
"Options/Password").
• There are several demonstrations loaded with the software. To simulate communication with
the 631 product you may need to set this under the following menu: "Options/General
Options/Simulated Drive Type". This selection is saved when you exit the software.
• You must supply an external 24V supply for terminal X10.7 (ACTIVE/NOT ACTIVE) in
order to operate the drive.
• The software checks for the correct connections to the drive, i.e. resolver, when not
simulating and may not let you proceed with the configuration. Ensure the 631 is fully and
correctly wired.
The EASYRIDER set-up procedure will rotate the motor shaft.
Help
A context-sensitive On-line Help menu is available by pressing the F1 key.
Pressing F9 from any screen displays the Amplifier Diagnosis page from the "Diagnosis" menu
which also contains other helpful pages for fault finding.
