PacDrive 3 - Diagnostics of ELAU/ Schneider Electric servo drives

Course time: 2 days

The training aims to acquire the skills of PacDrive 3 system diagnostics. The participants of the training will be introduced to programs facilitating the diagnostics of PacDrive devices - Controller Assistant, Diagnostics, and Device Assistant. The course will show, how to make system backups (so-called backups), read diagnostic data, and change the firmware version of PacDrive 3 system devices. In addition, participants will get acquainted with the SoMachine Motion - Logic Builder software used to create the control program for the LMC motion controllers.

Scope of the training

  • An introduction to the PacDrive 3 family of devices - including controllers, servo drives, servo motors, I/O modules, and software
  • Description of the SERCOS III communication protocol used in PacDrive 3 devices
  • Description, nomenclature, and technical data for controllers, Lexium 52 and Lexium 62 servo drives, and SH3, MH3, and SHS servo motors
  • Controller-PC connection
  • Creating, managing, and uploading a system backup to the controller using Controller Assistant
  • Adding firmware to the Controller Assistant library
  • Changing the firmware version on PacDrive 3 devices
  • Downloading and analyzing diagnostic data using the Diagnostics program
  • Managing and basic modification of the control program using Logic Builder, downloading and uploading the control program to the controller
  • Procedures for replacing faulty components

Requirements for participants:
