1-1 Specifications
The setup software allows the parameters to be changed, graphs to be displayed, various monitors to be displayed, and test operation to be carried out with a personal computer using the MR-J2-CT communication function. The standard setup software FWS-B05B013 connects the personal computer and MR-J2-CT with RS-232-C communication. The M6 Series NC compatible setup software FWS-B05B015, carries out communication via the bus connection that connects the M6 Series and MR-J2-CT. In this case, the axis designation can be changed when setting up multiple MR-J2-CT units that are connected.

are displayed. S/W number (W) The software number of the MR-J2-CT unit is displayed. Tuning data (F) The automatic tuning status (position, speed gain, etc.) is displayed. ABS data (B) The absolute position detection information is displayed.
2-3-5-1
When (D) Diagnosis - I/F diagnosis (I) are selected, the window displaying the status of the control signals exchanged with the NC unit will appear.
The control command signals from the NC unit to the MR-J2-CT are displayed in the Input signal section. The status output signals from the MR-J2-CT to the NC unit are displayed in the Output signal section. In both the Input signal section and Output signal section, if the signal is ON, the background of the signal will change to yellow. If the signal is OFF, the background will be white.
When is pressed, an explanation of each signal will appear.

When (D) Diagnosis - Tuning data (F) are selected, the position automatically tuned to with the automatic tuning function, and the value such as the speed control gain and estimated load inertia ratio will be displayed in real-time. The automatic tuning function is executed in real time, so it responds quickly to fluctuating load statuses to tune the servo constants. The constantly changing values are displayed in real-time.

2-3-6 Parameter menu The (P) Parameter menu is used to set and display the parameters. The following functions can be used.
Function Details Write (W) Only the currently selected parameter is written to the servo amplifier. Compare (C) All of the details set with the setup software and the parameters in the servo
amplifier are compared. The numbers of the parameters that do not match are listed.
All read (P) All of the parameters in the servo amplifier are read out as a package, and the display is updated.
All write (K) All of the parameters set with the setup software are written as a package to the servo amplifier.
Change list (L) The parameters in the servo amplifier are compared with the default values. The parameters that do not match are listed.
Initial Set (E) All parameters are initialized to the default values. Detail Inf. (I) An explanation on the currently selected parameter is displayed.
The display is scrolled by using the scroll bar at the right side of the window or by using the UP and DOWN cursor keys. The value for the currently selected number is displayed in the setting area. This value is the setting target.

When comparison is carried out, the details set with the setup software and all of the parameters in the servo amplifier will be compared. If any parameters do not match, the mismatch number will be listed as shown below.
2-3-6-3
When all read is carried out, all of the parameters in the servo amplifier will be read out as a package, and the display will be updated. The following message will appear before reading is executed. When is pressed, the reading will start.
Note that if the "The parameter will be valid after power off" message appears, the written parameter will be validated after the power has been turned ON again.
In this case, parameters #003, #019 and #103 did not match.

The parameters in the servo amplifier will be compared with the default values. The parameters that do not match will be displayed as shown below.
2-3-6-6
All of the parameter will be initialized to the default values, and the display will be updated. The default values are values preset with the setup software. These are the same as the values set when the servo amplifier is shipped from the factory.
