1. “COMPOSER” motor management tool

Composer is a sophisticated Windows based software suite designed by the Drive manufacturer to

provide rapid and easy configuration whilst optimising its combination with the movement control,

brushless servo motor drive and internal position sensors systems.

The Composer can be used to:

Conduct the manual or automatic tuning of the motor unit.

Conduct tests on the motor unit with feedback control option.

Interpret the results and modify the test parameters,

Perform tests to determine the best control options for each specific application.

Each application created with Composer includes all the communication parameters with the

control host used for the application, a dedicated programme, all the servo motor drive settings,

motor settings etc defined for each specific applications. Each application can be used on other units

with the same features without having to install it again.

This manual was not devised to provide in-depth instructions on how to use

“Composer”, it aims to provide guidelines to assist the final testing operators or

the maintenance squad when searching to detect errors or faults, during start-up

or equipment repair phases; it allows operators to remotely handle a transmission

or motor unit using a PC without the control charts. This should help technicians

to conduct fault targeted diagnosis and assist them during repair phases. Bear in

mind, however, that due to their complexity and the way they are made, the

“motor units” should be repaired using suitable equipment/materials at the

factory.

The aforementioned package can also be used to programme the motor unit.

Do not use Composer to programme the Drive, "Tune" where necessary or

change the motor unit settings.

Performing these operations without the supervision of a qualified operator

can cause faults or serious damages to the motor unit and the equipment.

The operator is accountable for any possible damages caused by incorrect

operations.



1.1 System requirements

The following elements are required before installing “Composer” on the PC:

Microsoft Windows 95/98/2000/XP/Vista/Win7

Minimum 32 MB RAM

Available disk space 300 MB

CD-ROM

Pentium II processor or equivalent (minimum)

RS-232 Port

1.2 Installing Composer

Installation instructions for Composer software from CD-ROM to PC:

Insert the CD-ROM in the computer’s CD drive;

Open the “Composer_setup….” folder and double click setup.exe to start installation.

The installation wizard will be displayed as seen below:

Press <Next> to continue and follow the Composer installation instructions page by page.

On completing the installation phase, create a shortcut to the desktop for easy access in the

future.

Remove the CD-ROM from the CD drive when finished.



1.3 Connections

Connect the cable between the PC serial port and the motor unit drive you wish to test – connector

CN2 (RS232-C Serial).

Use the connection cable carrying code 57076 supplied by GMM.

The equipment must be switched off when performing the connection operations below:

Remove the guards to access the motor unit to be checked.

Connect the connection cable Mx-CN2 (motor drive), for motors with brakes, remove the

fitted connection to connect.

Connect the cable to the PC serial port.

To manage the M11 motors (detector pivoting) and M12 (detector rotation), remove

the brake control connection from the outside using the control board (M11-CN5 and

M12-CN5) and connect the motor brakes to its drive. The brake is now controlled by

the Drive and no longer from outside (see layouts).

To connect to the Drive via the “SMART TERMINAL”, and to download the

Firmware or data to the Drive, simply make sure the auxiliary power supply

(24Vcc) is enabled and access the Drive with the emergency mushroom head

buttons (power OFF).

To handle the motor unit via the “SMART TERMINAL” make sure the power

is ON (200Vcc), the emergency mushroom head buttons are released (power

ON). If a motor unit malfunctions, the watch-dog will intervene by shutting

down the power supply; it is then necessary to bypass the watch dog to obtain

the power needed (join S1-CN9.1 to S1-CN9.2 see layouts).

It is now possible to boot the PC and the equipment to commence testing.

On completing the test operations, with the machine switched off:

Disconnect the cable from the serial output and restore the jumper where necessary.

Reinstate the external brake control connection if the internal option is enabled.

Reinstate watch-dog intervention if it was by-passed earlier on.

The equipment must operate with the watch-dog enabled on the safety

switch circuit.

Close the protection guards.



1.4 Moving axes with “SMART TERMINAL”

The “SMART TERMINAL” is an interactive mechanism that supplies the online communication

with the drive inside the motor unit and allow you to send commands to an individual axis and

view the feedback.

During this phase the axis movements are free and not subject to the

software control.

Pay your best attention while moving the axis in this situation.

During the movements of the axis with the “SMART TERMINAL”, the

operator shall be responsible for possible damages caused by wrong

operations.

Click <STOP> to disable axis movement (motor OFF= green indicator led off), the Stop

icon below the <GO> will halt all movement but keep the axes aligned. Always press the

<STOP> icon on the tool bar to halt movements.

If it is necessary to replace a motor unit or if it has been disassembled from

the equipment, (mechanical uncoupling) for test purposes, check the

position of the encoder before reassembling it.

When assembly has been completed, repeat the acquisition of the relative

transmission end of strokes.

Incorrect positions and assembly procedures can cause faults or serious

damages to the motor unit and the equipment.


operations.

Check that the step encoder number <Position in [cnt]> set for the motor unit is about

<10000000> i.e. between 9500000÷10500000. If this is not the case, move the motor to the

desired position.
