Turbo PMAC2, Geo Direct PWM, PEWin 32. I have gone thru the motor/drive setup and tuning using the utility in PEWin32 for a single axis. At the end, it had an option for copying the set-up to a second motor/axis. I wanted to test the first setup a little and did that and it is running properly. For the life of me, I cannot find a way to simply copy the same setup parameters at once to the second identical axis/drive channel. Other than going thru the iX00..99 one at a time and transferring the values to the next axis, is there a convenient way to do this? I even tried stepping thru the setup utility again but it doesn't want to let me step thru all the steps without re-doing some of the tests. Thanks, CDN

So, a little more of a puzzle. On closer inspection, the actual motor connectors ARE different from the AC in connector. THis is good. Problem is, the documentation in the installation manual specifies the same mating connector for the motor power and the AC input. Inspection of the actual connectors makes this impossible. This is bad. One of specs appears in error. We have a range of GPL102 drives from 2006 thru 2015 and all have the same connectors on them.

THe Geo DIrect drives manual specs the three position 3phase AC in connector as the same Molex number as both of the 3 pos Motor Power out connectors. The board-mounted receptacles are clearly keyed on the AC input conn. This is how it should be to prevent accidental miss-connection. (the motor power conns should also be uniquely keyed but they are not.) Is there a proper spec for the Molex shells with correct keying? I am referencing the Geo Direct manual from the DT /Omron site. Also missing from the connector documentation in the manula is the Safety relay connector spec. Similar in size but different than the Thermal/I/O connector. THanks Curt
