SOCAPEL SA SOFTWARE FOR SYNCHRONIZATION OF AXES 024.8068.A4. TOOLS FOR PARAMETER SET UP AND COMMISSIONING4.1 TEST DEVICEThe characteristic <strong>of</strong> every numerical controller is its ability to handle data by transferring itfrom one memory location to ano<strong>the</strong>r. The data is <strong>the</strong>re<strong>for</strong>e inaccessible without <strong>the</strong> addition<strong>of</strong> supplementary hardware.In <strong>the</strong> case <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ST1 digital motion controller, this hardware is contained on a special testdevice which is used when <strong>the</strong> equipment is being set up or tested. The device permits directaccess to any byte (8 bits) handled by <strong>the</strong> microprocessor. It also links two analog values <strong>for</strong>oscilloscope display. The choice <strong>of</strong> byte or analog value is made by entering parameters asdescribed in paragraph 7.7.The test device also includes a serial RS232 link <strong>for</strong> connection to a personal computer (PC)or a programming terminal.4.2 USE OF A PERSONAL COMPUTER (PC)The MS-DOS compatible ST1-EXPERT s<strong>of</strong>tware includes features <strong>for</strong> linking a personalcomputer (PC) to a ST1 digital motion controller. Please read manual No. 024.8038 "ST1-EXPERT" <strong>for</strong> fur<strong>the</strong>r details.4.3 SOFTWARE DOWNLOADINGStandard ST1 digital motion controller is fitted with an EPROM which supports <strong>the</strong>appropriate s<strong>of</strong>tware (see § 3.1).As an option, it can be fitted with a s<strong>of</strong>tware-download facility. This provides <strong>for</strong> a betterinterchargeability in applications where different s<strong>of</strong>twares are to be used. <strong>S<strong>of</strong>tware</strong>-updatesare also simpler to implement.Upon delivery (and unless o<strong>the</strong>rwise stated), no downloaded s<strong>of</strong>tware is stored. The ST1runs a "boot" program which provides <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> following functions :- Operating system and fault detection :The standard operating system <strong>of</strong> ST1 is running, with its fault detection, display andstatus. But <strong>the</strong>se are no functions <strong>for</strong> controlling <strong>the</strong> motor. The power stage cannot beenabled. The resolver interface is not running.- Serial link :Two interfaces <strong>for</strong> serial link are available :- over <strong>the</strong> test device, using <strong>the</strong> fixed length protocole (see document 024.8020"Link board LIO"). This part is to be used with a PC and "The Socasin EXPERT"s<strong>of</strong>tware.- over <strong>the</strong> link board, using following protocoles :- LS and LIO boards : fixed frame protocole (see document024.8020 "Link board LIO")- LPO board : PAM-ring protocole- LA boards : no interface available.17
