Before a motor can be used, the respective power electronics must first be checked for compatibility. Only then can the data required to configure the drive system be entered and calculated. This process is then completed by commissioning the motor.

Learning objectives and contents

• Selection criteria and compatibility of components
• Preparation and information regarding installation
• Parameter identification and configuration
• Motors, encoders, temperature sensors and holding brake
• Calculating the commutation offset - Phasing
• Entering the temperature characteristic curve
• Encoder configuration
• Configuring the holding brake
• Commissioning checklist for the individual components
• Examples and exercises
