Equipment required:

– MotiFlex e180 servo drive running the latest firmware, with the correct feedback option module fitted

– BSM motor with either Incremental encoder, SSi, EnDat, SinCos, Hiperface, SmartAbs, Resolver1

 or BiSS feedback

– PC running Windows 7 or later

– Motor feedback cable terminated with suitable connectors at both ends

– Motor power cable with a suitable connector at the motor end

– Mains supply to the MotiFlex e180 (3 phase 200-480VAC or 1 phase 230VAC is also possible with frame sizes A and B

providing the PHASELOSSMODE parameter is set to 0)2

– Ethernet Cable

The MicroFlex e190 and MotiFlex e180 are sophisticated servo drives which have been designed to meet the requirements of

both de-centralised single axis intelligent solutions and centralised multi-axis systems, providing high performance in an

economically priced device.

They provide an ideal solution to many machine applications and are ideal components for machine builders and system

integrators.

In this application note we will describe the commissioning process for a MotiFlex e180. The process is almost identical for a

MicroFlex e190 drive so references in this document to MotiFlex e180 are generally interchangeable with MicroFlex e190 unless

stated otherwise.
