Leadshine Motion Studio: The Ultimate Beginner's Guide

Welcome to the beginner's guide to Motion Studio! If you have a bus-driven stepper or servo drive from Leadshine or StepperOnline, this is a good place to start. This tutorial covers the basics of Motion Studio, from downloading and connecting hardware to test runs and motion paths. This video focuses on how to use the software regardless (to a degree) of the hardware you have. This isn't a CNC tuning video - there's no info for parameters of a specific motor. I captured my desktop along with a webcam of the motor. It resulted in some tiny text, so where the motor wasn't running, I zoomed in on the software. It's a bit jerky, some Dramamine may help... There is a *lot* of related content that I edited out for time. It's easy to spend 30min just going over connecting an RS232 cable to windows, but 95% of people will never deal with driver problems, so I cut that all out. I also cut out what I considered to be duplicate info. For example, there's no difference between configuring inputs and outputs, so I removed all the content on outputs... and so on. The motor I used is an iCL42-RS08 from StepperOnline. I've also used closed loop and open loop drivers (CL57RS and DM556RS) Links: Leadshine Motion Studio Stepper 1.4.9: https://www.leadshine.com/upfiles/downloads/4f2e3904b60df00acb75d9cd2ae65491_1702632536136.zip Leadshine_Motion_Studio_EL7_EL8_Servo_V2.2.6 Beta: (also for EL6) https://www.leadshine.com/upfiles/downloads/7dadf2193cde23e7a8ba8e85421f2736_1685524664507.rar StepperOnline Motion studio 1.4.10 Beta (for stepper products): https://www.omc-stepperonline.com/index.php?route=product/product/get_file&file=3366/MotionStudio_OverseasEdition_v1.4.10_beta_20230914.rar StepperOnline Motion Studio 1.4.10 Beta (for servo products): https://www.omc-stepperonline.com/index.php?route=product/product/get_file&file=1641/MotionStudio_Neutral_v1.4.10.zip Motor: https://www.omc-stepperonline.com/icl-series-nema-17-integrated-rs485-closed-loop-stepper-motor-0-8nm-113-29oz-in-20-36vdc-w-14-bit-encoder-icl42-rs08 00:48 Downloading 01:18 Connecting PC and Drive 02:05 Initial Launch 02:15 Connect 02:55 Configuring IO 03:40 Comparing parameters 03:55 Changing drive parameters 04:25 Test Run 05:30 PR Mode 05:50 Paths 09:00 Monitoring 10:10 RTelligent Comparison
