A connection is established between the ProCommander 3 and the Cool Muscle.Once all commands have been sent the ProCommander 3 must be power cycled to initialise the motors. Commands are sent through the Hardware Configurator console. This sets up how many motors are on the system, their IP addresses and some relevant parameters. The ProCommander 3 must be setup with information about the Cool Muscles. The unit will now load the new settings and cycle powerĭo not change any other settings as this could break communication to the Cool Muscle.Click Apply Settings on the left colomn.Leave the admin user name and password blank and click OK.Ensure the computer network is set to the same range as the Cool Muscle.
If multiple Cool Muscles with the same IP are powered there will be an IP conflict.
Use the following steps to set the IP address. If there is more than 1 motor on the system then all additional motors shall require unique IP addresses. The following defaults are setĪll Cool Muscle motors have the same default IP address. The computer, Cool Muscles and the ProCommander 3 all need to be setup with the same IP range and subnet mask. The system network must be configured as shown in figure 1. Support for the Hardware Configurator is through Weigl ©.The Weigl Hardware Configurator must be version 1.23 or higher.Configurator is used to setup the ProCommander 3 with the Cool Muscle.Weigl Hardware Configurator - download.Support for Contours is through Myostat Motion Control ©.Contours is used to setup homing parameters for each axis.Two software applications are required for setup and show programming CM1IPX2-XXXX - custom length IO cable.CM1IPX1-XXXX - custom length power cable.The standard motor includes a 40cm long power cable. Motor part numbersĪdditional cable accessories are available. The following part numbers will ensure the correct hardware and settings are delivered when a motor is ordered. The 17 and 23 series Cool Muscles have an ethernet communication interface integrated onto the motor. Figure 1 shows the system architecture including a switch and PC to run the relevant software. The Cool Muscle is added to the timeline as a 16-bit analog channel which defines the motor's absolute position in time. The ProCommander 3 communicates to a maximum of 8 Cool Muscle motors over UDP. This documentation assumes some knowledge of the ProCommander 3 and how to use it. Additional information on the capabilities of the ProCommander can be found at. The Cool Muscle CM1 can be controlled by the ProCommander 3 from Weigl.
