Autosetup

Auto­setup detects the motor type and connected sensors (encoder / Hall sensors).

As long as the motor on the controller or the feed­back sensors (encoder / Hall) remain the same: Run Autosetup only once, on initial com­missioning.

Jog Console

Via Jog Console, you test the motor in velocity mode. You can select two target speeds. The motor runs as long as you use the mouse to press the but­ton for left / right rotation.

Motion Test

In Motion Test, you test the motor in position / ve­locity / torque mode. Your options include tar­get val­ues, acceleration / deceleration ramps, repetition cy­cles, test run duration etc.
