Quick Tuner™ – Tune and Configure Servo Drives

The software Quick Tuner automates the commissioning process by providing a quick, easy method for configuring the drive, setting up the motor and tuning the system. The Timing Wizard makes setting up the motor a simple process with no need for the rewiring and troubleshooting often associated with configuring a drive to a motor. If you are using a brushless motor supplied by TOPS, configuration files are supplied with Quick Tuner.

Commissioning your system is done in 3 easy steps:

1. Configure the drive

Quick Tuner Drive Tab screen — Drive Tab

Select the Control Mode then enter values for:

Maximum Error
Positioning Error Fault
Electronic Gearing
Maximum Speed
Acceleration
Brake Delay

2. Setup the motor

Quick Tuner Motor-Encoder Tab screen — Motor-Encoder Tab

If you are using one of TOPS motors, simply choose the configuration file and load it. And then enter your settings for Continuous and Peak Current.

If you are using another brand of motor, use the Timing Wizard to automatically determine the motor parameters.

3. Tune the system

Quick Tuner Tuning-Sampling Tab screen — Tuning-Sampling Tab

Enter a sample move
Select the variables you wish to plot
Start the test
View results on the Oscilloscope panel
Adjust system gains for optimum response

You’re Done!

System Requirements: Microsoft Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista or XP, 32-bit or 64-bit.
