Functional Description

8200-176 is a EM Digital Driver developed by Woodward. Driver Interface Program configuration tool is designed to facilitate effortless customization and parameterization of the EM Digital Driver. With the Driver Interface Program, users can easily fine-tune control settings, calibrate motor performance, and optimize the system to meet specific application requirements. It is engineered to meet the highest standards of reliability and performance. Its ability to handle various actuator loads, coupled with the flexibility provided by the Driver Interface Program, makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of industrial processes, such as motion control systems, robotics, and precision manufacturing. The Driver Interface Program further enhances the user's ability to fine-tune the controller, resulting in optimized actuator performance and improved overall system efficiency.

Features

• The Digital Driver, in conjunction with the Driver Interface Program (DIP) software, offers a robust and sophisticated firewall algorithm designed to protect your system from potential mechanical failures caused by a wide range of actuator load inertia and friction levels. This innovative combination ensures reliable and smooth operation, safeguarding critical components and enhancing the overall performance of your control system.
• For seamless integration and compatibility with other Woodward parts such as Netcon and MicroNet control systems (available separately on our website), the EM Digital Driver provides a seamless and efficient solution. By combining these components, users can create a comprehensive and interconnected control system tailored to their specific industrial needs.
• To begin using the DIP software, simply install it through the provided disk or .EXE file available on Woodward's website. Following the system's download instructions, install the protocol server, and upon completion, reboot your PC to apply the changes. Detailed information about the software and hardware capabilities of the Driver and its associated software can be found in the manual 26159, readily accessible on our website.
• When initiating system resets, ensure that they originate from either the DIP itself or by disconnecting the RS-232 cable before sending a Reset command from a NetCon or MicroNet controller. This precaution is vital as long as the source of the shutdown remains active, preventing any other source from resetting the driver. The RS-485 interface and DIP retain the ability to shut down the unit at any time, ensuring system safety and protecting against potential faults.
• For a seamless operation and troubleshooting process, it is crucial to familiarize yourself with the hardware and software capabilities of the Driver. The EM Digital Driver Installation and Operation Manual 26159 provides comprehensive information to help users maximize the potential of the driver and software, ensuring smooth and efficient system operation.
