Question:
Will the useability of the ECS servo system continuously be improved in future?
Answer:
Yes. As of now, an extensively revised device description file (pdb) is available for the Global Drive Control (GDC) of the ECS power supply module.
The pdb can be installed by downloading the Device data update 8 (GU8) on the Intranet and public Internet.
An extensively revised device description file (pdb) is available for the Global Drive Control (GDC) software. The pdb can be installed by means of the device data update (GU8) provided in the download area on the Intranet and Internet.
The new pdb files for the ECS power supply modules V3.0 can easily and clearly be found thanks to the structured crosswise lines in the menu tree.
The menu of the new pdb files is structured more clearly and usefully. It is based on the new menu structure which will also be introduced for the ECS axis module variants.
In addition to the menu structure we have also revised code designations, display texts and selection texts. More suitable and precise expressions shall further facilitate the intuitive handling of the ECS servo system. Aspects concerning the improvement of the usability have been the main reason to revise the pdb files. Now, the menus are structured in such a way that the user prefers to use the menu for configuration purposes instead of using the rather unclear complete code list because e.g. required codes were missing in the menu items. Therefore, the complete code list has been shifted to the end of the menu.
