Using MASSO Motor Studio

Connect

Connection settings - the initial screen

After plugging in your servo drive and opening MASSO Motor Studio this will be the first screen you see.

From here you will select the port for your motor and start connection.

Tips

Unplug, then plug back in your servo motor to see which COM port number shows up.

Parameter

Parameter Settings

Parameter settings cover the individual settings for each option. 

These can be adjusted by themselves, or adjusted with motor tuning and setup.

Monitor

General Monitor

This provides feedback from your motor drives on the state of your motors.

Tips

This can be used to see the position deviation - this is the figure that the motor position trails behind the pulse feed.

Osciliscope

This can be used to visualise the monitor settings and track them against other factors.

Alarm

Alarm or Fault

This screen shows any current alarms or faults. 

Tips

During setup, you may change settings that require the controller to be re-powered this will show as an alarm in this screen.

Trial Run

Using this screen, you can jog your motor to test motor and driver operation

USE

Disable the drive

Set a speed command (30RPM is standard, please use caution when increasing the value)

Set acceleration ( the lower the number the faster the acceleration - the speed wich the motor spins up or down, and changes direction.)

Enable drive

Press the left or right arrows to jog your motor to the ends of its safe limits and then set the front and back. - This will set the allowable travel of the motor using the built in encoder as a reference.

You can then click next step to jog the motor.

Accessibility

Accessibility Function

This screen can be used to override outputs and factory reset servo drivers

Inertia ID

Inertia identify

This screen is a step by step to identify the intertia ratio of your motor compared to your machine setup.

USE

Follow the on screen instructions to run the test. 

This will rapidly move your axis one way then the other and check the feedback

100% means the axis motor needs the full power to fully control the axis. Numbers less than this mean the motor is in full control of the axis

numbers greater than 100% are possible but it means the motor may not be in full control of the axis and needs a bigger motor.

FFT

FFT Analysis

This screen can carry out a fourier test on the motor. You many not see motion on the axis but is sweeps the harmonic range for resonance.
