Dear Sirs,
I have several Siemens MasterDrives (of dubious parentage) and I'm not sure if they are operational or not. I have an old laptop running XP with a real serial port and the Drivemonitor program. I can access the drives and upload / download parameter sets no problem.
I do not (yet) have cables to attach a spare motor to these drives.
Installing the drive in the machine to test it is a pain the tail and could conceivably lead to a catastrophic failure which I desperately wish to avoid.
My question. If I have the boss get me some cables, can I power up and connect everything up on the bench and run the motor testing out everything in the drives?
Poet.
