Parameter modification

Select the corresponding line in the parameter list, and then double-click. The software will pop up a dialog box, in which the parameter name and current value will be displayed; the user enters a new value in the "Setting Value" column. For specific parameter values, please refer to the "Parameter Description" at the bottom of the interface to select appropriate parameters ,As shown below:

Wecon Servo configurator User Manual Wiki版本_html_dccf0c80c2ea3561.png

After modifying the value, press "save" or directly enter enter, the corresponding entry in the parameter list will be highlighted (the background color changes to orange), and the button "download selected parameters" will turn orange, as shown in the figure below

Wecon Servo configurator User Manual Wiki版本_html_ab5daf24aaa8d856.png

(✎Note: At this time, the modified parameters are only cached in the upper computer, not set to the servo drive!)

Click "Download Selected" in the lower left corner of the interface to download to the servo. After clicking download, a dialog box will appear showing the setting result, as shown in the following figure:

Wecon Servo configurator User Manual Wiki版本_html_b94324bf31ae01b.png

Generally, the parameters can be set successfully (that is, the "Setup failed:" in the dialog box is displayed as "0"). If it is not 0, the corresponding function code will be displayed, as shown in the following figure:

Wecon Servo configurator User Manual Wiki版本_html_9f4f316e4fc5f05e.png

After the parameter is set, the status will be displayed in the "Select" column in the first column of the parameter list box, if the setting is successful, will be displayed, if the setting fails, it will be displayed, as shown in the figure below:

Wecon Servo configurator User Manual Wiki版本_html_a22ae6d8298566d7.png

To troubleshoot the corresponding errors, please refer to: 3.3 Parameter setting failure, and troubleshoot accordingly.

Parameter import and export

Servo forward and reverse

(✎Note: Before use, please confirm the motor installation direction and the setting of the function code regarding the motor rotation direction to ensure that the actual rotation direction of the motor is consistent with the expected direction of movement! Avoid accidents!)

Wecon Servo configurator User Manual Wiki版本_html_5782eea01fffa824.jpg

Press the "forward rotation" button and the motor starts to rotate forward. The servo status displays the position information and the current speed. Please confirm whether the displayed speed is consistent with the "set speed". Release the button to stop the operation, as shown in the figure below:

Wecon Servo configurator User Manual Wiki版本_html_24bbb35d93e481f2.png

Press the "Forward" button and the motor starts to reverse, and the servo status displays the position information and current speed. Please confirm whether the displayed speed is consistent with the "set speed". Release the button to stop the operation, as shown in the figure below:

Wecon Servo configurator User Manual Wiki版本_html_d8d1bb255a63270c.png

Note that inertia recognition is only valid in position mode. If it is in non-position mode (such as speed mode or torque mode), the software will prompt that inertia recognition cannot be performed, as shown in the following figure:

Wecon Servo configurator User Manual Wiki版本_html_72a2cafc135b4978.png

After the inertia recognition is completed, a pop-up window will prompt that the inertia recognition is completed, "Whether to write to the drive? Click Yes to write, and click No to not write". At the same time, the inertia recognition button is displayed from "Recognizing..." to "Start Recognition". And the "Next" in the lower right corner turns from gray to light, you can click to the next page, as shown below:

Use troubleshooting

Communication connection problem

In the process of connecting the servo drive, if there is a problem and the connection cannot be made, please follow the process steps below to troubleshoot:

Wecon Servo configurator User Manual Wiki版本_html_51f814e5c1527b3d.png

Is the drive installed correctly?

Open the device manager, in "Ports (COM and LPT)", check whether there are related devices, as shown in the figure below:

Wecon Servo configurator User Manual Wiki版本_html_ef18fb973e4dbb6f.png

Exclamation marks should not appear on normal devices. If you see the device, but the device icon displays an exclamation mark, it prompts that the driver may not be installed correctly and you need to reinstall the driver. (For driver installation, please refer to: 3.4 Driver Installation)

If the device cannot be found, check whether the driver has been successfully installed. Check whether there are unknown devices in the device manager, as shown in the following figure:

Wecon Servo configurator User Manual Wiki版本_html_c073c21b2158e2be.png

If there is an unknown device, you need to install the driver manually. (This problem is more common in lower version operating systems and computers that cannot connect to the internet). (For driver installation, please refer to: 3.4 Driver Installation)

Is the port selected correctly and is it occupied?

Carefully confirm whether the port number is correct. If necessary, you can plug and unplug the communication cable to confirm whether the port is the target port (Please note: disconnecting the communication port in use may cause the software to crash (not the software), or the operating system Crash or blue screen!), after confirming the port number, try to open the port. If the port cannot be connected (the prompt is occupied), you need to check whether other software is occupying the port. Or restart the computer and try to open it again.

Is the wiring correct?

If there is no problem with the port, please check whether the wiring is correct and whether the wire is loose or disconnected. The specific communication line interface definition can be found in the servo manual.

s the servo drive damaged?

If the above steps have been checked and confirmed, please confirm whether the servo drive is damaged, you can try to replace the servo drive to troubleshoot the fault.

Software compatibility issues

For software compatibility, please confirm whether the software cannot be opened or the software display problem.

Software cannot be opened

Please confirm the version of the operating system (for operating system requirements, please refer to: 1. Software requirements);

Please confirm whether the file in the program directory is lost (whether it was accidentally deleted by anti-virus software).

Display error

Part of the software area is blocked or displayed outside the screen; check whether the resolution setting of the monitor is the minimum requirement (for the minimum resolution requirement of the monitor, please refer to: 1. Software requirements);

Part of the font of the software is displayed too large or partially covered. Check whether the font size used by the operating system is 100%. After setting it to 100%, close the software and reopen it (some versions of the operating system may require restart or logout);

The function code interface is blank, please confirm whether the parameter.xml file in the folder where the software is located exists and is damaged.

Parameter setting failed

Parameter setting failure means that the communication can be successful, but cannot be set to the servo drive. Generally, there will be a dialog box prompting abnormality. The following situations are related to the corresponding fault type:

Serial numberSet failure typeProcessing method
1The set value exceeds the upper limitAfter confirming the parameter range of the servo drive, download the parameters again.
2The set value is lower than the lower limitAfter confirming the parameter range of the servo drive, download the parameters again.
3The parameter belongs to the shutdown setting type (currently it is the power-on state that does not allow setting)Confirm whether the servo is turned on, set it to turn off, and then download the parameters.
4The set parameter does not existConfirm whether the parameter exists and the number is correct.
5The set parameters are not allowed to be set (read-only, internal reserved)Confirm whether the parameter exists and whether it can be set.

Drive installation

If it is a higher version of the operating system (Windows 10) and can connect to the Internet, the operating system will automatically update the driver. If the operating system version is lower or the network cannot be connected. You need to install the driver manually. For specific driver installation, please refer to the communication device manual for details, and install the driver according to the manual.
