1 First Steps
1.1 About this Documentation
This documentation provides you with a guide of using the ECOSTUDIO® Master interface, which is
part of the ECOSUITE program package for establishing the logical connection between the PC and
the devices of the ECOVARIO® servo drive series (including ECOMiniDual), ECOMODUL, ECOSTEP®,
ECOMPACT® and ECOBASIC. Once the connection has been established, the device-specific
ECOSTUDIO® client can be used to start up, parameterize, operate and monitor the drive. The
ECOSTUDIO® clients each have their own auxiliary systems.

This documentation consists of instructions that explain the commissioning process step by step.
Furthermore, there are reference tables which describe the functions of the operation and display
elements of the individual windows (see also Context-Sensitive F1 Help).

20150177-6.92-BMAen-007 [04/2023] 11
 ECOSTUDIO® Master Operation Manual

Connection to multi-axis devices:

➢ With the multi-axis servo amplifiers ECOMODUL, ECOMiniDual and ECOVARIO® 11 D or 616D
each axis is handled like a 1-axis servo amplifier, i.e. a separate ID is assigned to each axis.
If you intend to parameterize both axes in parallel, start a separate ECOSTUDIO® session
for each axis and establish the connection to the respective ID.
➢ The 4-axis stepper motor amplifier ECOSTEP® 54 is addressed completely, i.e. all axes, via
one ID. After establishing the connection the selection of the axes to be parameterized can
be done via the separate menu item ECOSTEP54.
4. An application specific Name can be assigned to each servo amplifier. This gives you the
possibility to specify e.g. in multi-axis systems to which axis the servo amplifier is assigned to.
In case that there has not yet been assigned a name to the servo amplifier (Name field in the
list entry is empty) you can now enter a name in the field. Maximum length is 12 characters.
Changes to the name can be done at any time.
➢ For a permanent storage of the name in the servo amplifier, an explicit action is necessary
in the ECOSTEP®. The storage is initiated in the navigation area of the respective device-
specific ECOSTUDIO® window under Administration. With ECOVARIO®, ECOMiniDual,
ECOMODUL, and ECOMPACT® the storing of the entered name is done automatically.
5. The option Connection Guard is activated by default for all interfaces. It is not activated in the
offline mode. If the option is deactivated no messages about connection interruptions are
displayed.
6. For newly established drive systems ECOSTUDIO® Master offers a special option. By right-
clicking the Search button the alternative label ID Allocation appears. This function allows to
also display devices with the same COB-ID separately. By means of the serial number the
devices can be numbered consecutively or separately. The IDs can be changed in the ID
column. The assignment is completed by clicking the set IDs button.

➢ Note on the representation of multi-axis devices: Each axis is displayed as a separate device
in a row. After the serial number, the axis number is displayed in brackets. For ECOMODUL
the entry shows the axis module and the axis number within this module (for example 4: 2
means axis module 4, axis 2).

1.10 Establishing a Connection to an Eckelmann Controller via MMI

ECOSTUDIO® provides the possibility to access all lower-level JAT servo amplifiers by establishing
an Ethernet connection to a controller manufactured by Eckelmann. All programs/files required by
the ECOSTUDIO® for access are supplied and installed with the ECOSTUDIO® installation.

Setting up a new connection to an Eckelmann controller or changing the IP address of a connection

that has already been set up
1. In the ECOSTUDIO® Communcation: Connect / Disconnect window in the Interface selection list
box select the ETHERNET interface. In the Parameter group box check the MMI check box.
2. Start the device search by clicking on search.
➢ ECOSTUDIO® now starts the MMI service using dll access. This can be seen from the

Eckelmann icon in the system tray of the Windows status bar (at the bottom right,

can be faded in via ).

3. Left-clicking on the Eckelmann icon followed by selecting Settings from the menu that appears
leads to the display of the HMI Gateway window.

4. A new control connection can then be added here using the Add button or, with Settings, e.g.
the IP address of an already configured control connection can be changed.

20150177-6.92-BMAen-007 [04/2023] 22
 ECOSTUDIO® Master Operation Manual

Quit the StdHMI of the Eckelmann controller in order to avoid error messages during ECOSTUDIO®
access.

Variants of access
Two different variants are possible:

1. Insert a diagnostic laptop with ECOSTUDIO® installed via a hub / switch in the Ethernet
between the controller computer and ECKELMANN controller.
2. ECOSTUDIO® is installed on the controller computer in addition to the StdHMI.

INFORMATION
In both variants note the limitation that the interface should not be used for the
Eckelmann StdHMI and ECOSTUDIO® simultaneously!

Establishing the Ethernet connection to the Eckelmann controller

1. In the ECOSTUDIO® Communcation: Connect / Disconnect window in the Interface selection list
box select the ETHERNET interface. In the Parameter group box check the MMI check box. Thus,
an ECOSTUDIO® tunnel is used in the Eckelmann controller.

2. Enter the following:

 ECOSTUDIO® Master Operation Manual

CAN Port: Physical CAN port of the Eckelmann controller to which the JAT servo amplifiers are
connected:

3. Display the accessible servo amplifiers by clicking search. All servo amplifiers which can be
accessed by the Eckelmann controller are displayed.

4. After the connection with a selected servo amplifier has been established the parameter
setting and operation of the servo amplifier is possible as usual by ECOSTUDIO®.

1.11 Parameterizing multi-axis Systems

ECOSTUDIO® can be conveniently used to parameterize multi-axis systems. In principle, it can be
differentiated between the following proceedings:

■ Calling several ECOSTUDIO® sessions via the ECOSTUDIO® Master

■ Switching between the individual axes of the 8-axis servo amplifier ECOMODUL
■ Switching between the individual axes of the 4-axis stepper motor amplifier ECOSTEP® 54

Calling several ECOSTUDIO® sessions with ECOSTUDIO® Master

In the Communication: search / connect window of ECOSTUDIO® Master connections to several
devices can be established. For each device a separate device-specific window is opened. It is also
possible to open several windows for one device by connecting several times to this device.

20150177-6.92-BMAen-007 [04/2023] 24
 ECOSTUDIO® Master Operation Manual

The sessions are completely independent of each other, the connection between PC and servo
amplifier can be established via different communication interfaces. The interface type is specified
for each session individually.
The number of sessions already running is displayed by right-clicking the ECOSUITE icon in the
status bar of the PC.

Switching between the individual axes of the servo amplifier ECOMODUL

If a connection to one axis of the servo amplifier ECOMODUL has been established, in all
ECOSTUDIO® function windows a graphic representation of the hardware configuration of the
ECOMODUL, the so-called axis selector, can be shown.

Switching between the individual axes of the stepper motor amplifier ECOSTEP® 54
The stepper motor amplifier ECOSTEP® 54 can control 4 axes. Within the device- specific
ECOSTUDIO® session the active connection can be switched from one axis to another. In some
windows the parameters of all 4 axes will be displayed next to each other, e.g. device status,
output mode and digital I/O.

2 Further Functions of ECOSTUDIO® Master

2.1 Writing Data into the Servo Amplifier

For commissioning of the drive system the first step is to load the appropriate motor data set into
the servo amplifier. Thus, the relevant objects are preset with values appropriate for the motor.
Normally, this is accomplished by the Device Configuration wizard (Wizards → Device
Configuration) in the respective device-specific ECOSTUDIO® window. However, it is also possible
to load the motor data set, the so-called „DAT file“, directly.
You can either selectively load the data set into one servo amplifier or you can start loading the
same data set to several servo amplifiers via the ECOSTUDIO® Master (multi-load). Multi-load only
makes sense for servo amplifiers of the same type which control motors of the same type.
For loading the motor data set to several servo amplifiers of the same type which can be reached
via the connection interface (when clicking search in the connection window), select File → Load
Controller Data in the menu bar.

20150177-6.92-BMAen-007 [04/2023] 26
 ECOSTUDIO® Master Operation Manual

DANGER
Accidental motor, tool or axis movement:
Risk of death or injury by high mechanincal forces and acclerations. Damage
or destruction of machine parts might occur.
➢ During writing of the data set into the device undefined states
concerning motor control might occur.
➢ Therefore, it is highly recommended to carry this out only when power
supply of the connected axes is switched off. Check the status of the
axes and if necessary switch off power.

1. Select the dat-file containing the data ; it displays the "File" window. Standard records are
in the program path of ECOSTUDIO® subdirectory "..\App\data\Motorparameter" stored,
sorted by motor type. The latest .DAT files can also be downloaded from our homepagewww.jat-
gmbh.de. Alternatively, the use of self-stored drive data is possible.
➢ Example: For a motor 60D31-0210 D08JD-AA on a device ECOBASIC 410 with a DC link voltage
of 325V fits the file: "..\App\data\Motorparameter\ECOBASIC\60D31\325V\60D31-
8J_8000_LO_325V_ECOBASIC.dat"
➢ Note: The selection dialog for the .DAT files always offers the folder selected last.
➢ Note: Alternatively you can drag & drop the required file ending (.dat) from the Windows
Explorer into the ECOSTUDIO® Master connection window. The window File → Load
Controller Data is displayed then.
2. On the right window area Controllers select the devices where the motor data set should be
loaded into. The Exclude Communication Parameters checkbox should always be set, a
deactivation is only necessary in special cases.
3. Click Write Data into Device. Now the data is transmitted sequentially to the servo amplifiers selected in
the window area Controllers. Therefore, ECOSTUDIO® establishes the connection to the
respective servo amplifier. The progress is displayed in the window area Status. If required, the
loading procedure can be stopped at any time (STOP button). After the loading procedure is
finished, the servo amplifiers are restarted automatically.
➢ Note: The following explanation of the display of the checkboxes next to the displayed
devices:
Checkbox checked: Device selected for data transfer
Checkbox checked (grey): Data transfer to device failed, transfer aborted
Checkbox unchecked: Device not selected

2.2 Firmware Update

Servo amplifiers as well as ETHERNET2CAN gateways provide firmware updates to implement new
or modified functions. The following steps describe the prodcedure of downloading a new firmware
into one or more servo amplifiers or the ETHERNET2CAN gateway, respectively.

INFORMATION
In ECOSTUDIO® Master in the Communication: search /connect window, a search
must first run before a firmware update can be executed (Click on search). If
multiple devices of the same type can be reached via the connection interface, the
selected firmware file can be loaded sequentially into the specified devices. The
devices can be selected individually (see below).

20150177-6.92-BMAen-007 [04/2023] 27
 ECOSTUDIO® Master Operation Manual

ATTENTION
Firmware Update
Serious malfunctioning up to total failure of the device
➢ A firmware update should only be carried out if it is imperative. It
should be carried out only by experienced users with highest caution
and care.
➢ Only use firmware that has been released by JAT GmbH.
➢ The firmware may only be carried out if the drive is brought to standstill
and shut down before.
➢ During a firmware update all parameters will be reset to default values!
It is therefore important that you save the device's data.
➢ Before recommissiong, it has to be made sure that the axes were
parametrized correctly.

1. In the menu bar select File \ Flash Firmware.

If several devices can be reached via the connection interface the devices are listed in the
Controllers group box on the right.

2. In the Firmware group box search for the Firmware File by clicking . By default, only the
files which are appropriate for the servo amplifier type are displayed.
➢ Note: Alternatively you can drag & drop the required firmware file (ending .D10 or .zip) from
the windows explorer into the ECOSTUDIO® Master connection window. The window File \
Flash Firmware is displayed then with the selected file name in the Firmware File field.
➢ Note: If several devices can be reached via the connection interface they are listed in the
window area on the right side. The selected firmware file is appropriate for the checked
devices. You can manually exclude devices from being flashed by deactivating the
respective check box. You can use the buttons on the bottom of the right window area for

 ECOSTUDIO® Master Operation Manual

selecting or deselecting all devices. Furthermore you can apply the device selection to the
firmware file if the selection has been modified manually before.
3. By means of the Firmware version check again whether the appropriate firmware file has been
selected.
4. Click Download Firmware.
The progress is displayed in the window. When flashing several devices the device which is
currently processed is highlighted in the window area Controllers. If due to an error the device
could not be flashed, an error message is displayed in the status list and the check box of the
device entry remains checked. When flashing several devices the process can be stopped by
clicking the STOP button. In this case the loading procedure for the servo amplifier in progress
will still be finished.

➢ Note: There are three different ways that the checkboxes are displayed:
Checkbox checked: Device selected for data transfer
Checkbox checked (grey): Data transfer to device failed, transfer aborted
Checkbox unchecked: Device not selected

2.3 Offline Viewer for Oscillogram Data

ECOSTUDIO® provides a viewer function for a saved oscillogram (.OGD file) which can be used
offline which means that an active connection to a servo amplifier is not necessary. In the menu
bar, select the menu item View → OGD Viewer.
An explorer window opens where you can select the required file (extension *.OGD) and it will be
displayed in a new Oscilloscope Display window. A new .OGD file to be loaded can be selected by

clicking in the symbol bar on the left side of the oscillogram. The options available in the OGD
viewer are identical to the options in the displayed oscillogram in the online operation.

INFORMATION
Alternatively you can drag & drop the required file (ending .OGD) from the windows
explorer into the ECOSTUDIO® Master Connection window. The saved oscillogram is
then displayed.

If you load .OGD files which have been generated by ECOSTUDIO® version 2.2 and higher: The
velocity and position controller parameters and the user-defined variables are also saved in the
.OGD file and can be displayed by clicking >> on the right lower side. From ECOSTUDIO® Version 2.7
on additionally the time-relevant parameters (interval, number of values, pre-trigger values) are
saved in the .OGD file and are displayed in the label of the x-axis after loading.

INFORMATION
If in addition to the .OGD file already loaded you load another .OGD file (Icon Load
additional graph), e.g. for comparison purposes, the values displayed in the tabs on
the right remain unchanged.

Save Values Saving the list of values, separated by commas, in a file (.csv format)

Copy Copies the oscillogram into the clipboard. From there, it can be inserted e.g.
into documents.

Save Graph All data of the oscillogram can be saved to a file. If saving is done in the .ogd
format the data can be reloaded to the oscilloscope display window by use of
the Load Graph function. Data saved in the .jpg or .png format can be
processed externally.

Load Graph Load and display an oscillogram saved in the .OGD format with the Save
Graph function before

Load Additional Graph Compares two loaded oscillograms. When the function Load Graph has been
executed an additional oscillogram saved in the .ogb format can be loaded
here. The additional oscillogram is displayed in dash lines.

Screenshot Generates a screenshot of the oscillogram including the display and entry
area for the position and velocity controller parameters. The default
background color is black. If you wish a white background you can select this
in the sub-menu of the options menu Screenshot.

Print Graph Prints the oscillogram

Default Scaling All scaling settings done manually by the user (e.g. shifting of the scales,
zoom, etc.) are reset to the default values

Zero Lines Zero lines are displayed for all curves

20150177-6.92-BMAen-007 [04/2023] 31
 ECOSTUDIO® Master Operation Manual

Element Symbol Description

Point Values The x-y-coordinates of the curve value where the mouse pointer is located
are displayed. X and y value are separated by commas, a maximum of 3
decimal places are displayed. You can also permanently mark point values in
a curve. To do so, position the mouse pointer on the required point. If the
point value is displayed, double-click to get a permanent marking. By right-
clicking on the label of a marked point a context menu is opened. You can
use this e.g. for deleting one or all marked point values. Deleting one marked
point is also possible by double-clicking the label.

Point Differences Displaying the difference between two points of a curve:

1. On a curve, select a starting point by double-clicking. The point is

highlighted by a small circle.
2. If the mouse pointer is positioned on the curve the distance between
this point and the highlighted starting point in x-direction and y-
direction is displayed (same format as in the Point Values display). By
clicking to a target point the distance value is displayed below the
oscillogram.

The functions Point Values and Point Differences cannot be used

simultaneously.

Delete All Curves Deletes all displayed curves

Fast Fourier Transformation Alternative display Normal View ↔ Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) of the
actual curves (not for freezed curves and new curves). If the symbol is not
shown, we recommend an update to .NET Framework 4.6 or higher.

New Curve 1...4 Different arithmetic operations can be applied to up to 4 of the displayed
curves (see section „Mathematical functions in the displayed curve“ below).
The resulting curves are displayed as well.

Submenus of the menu items marked in different colors (related to the individual curves):

Hide Curve Selective masking of displayed curves

Freeze Curve Selective freezing of displayed curves, useful e.g. for controller parameter
optimization to directly monitor the impact of parameter modifications. After
activation of the function the curve is displayed dash lined and remains in
the display also after the recording has been started again, e.g. with modified
parameters. Thus, both curves can be compared. The function can be
switched off by selecting the menu item Freeze Curve again.

Hide Zero Line Selective masking of the displayed zero lines

Hexadecimal For curves with integer values: Switching to hexadecimal representation of

the y-coordinate of the curve value when displaying the Point Values or the
Point Differences.

Scale As ... If autoscaling is activated it might occur that the curves for actual values and
the related target values (e.g. actual velocity and target velocity) are scaled
differently. With this function the same scaling can be applied to selected
curves. Thus, the curves can be better compared for deviations between
actual values and target values.

Further functions provided in the oscillogram:

■ Zoom: It is possible to zoom in or out on arbitrary parts of the oscillogram. To enlarge a part of
the graph, select the chosen area from the top left to the bottom right while pressing the left
mouse button. To nullify the last enlargement, select a random area from the bottom right to
the top left while pressing the right mouse button.
■ Change Scaling of the y-axis: The scaling of the y-axis can be changed by simultaneously
pressing CRTL and the left mouse button.
■ Shifting the scaling: By dragging the scaling with the left mouse button, it and its
corresponding curve can be shifted to the top or bottom.

User-specific settings of ECOSTUDIO® can be saved in so-called projects. Furthermore, there is the
possibility to save the settings of e.g. the auto reverse mode, the configuration of the oscilloscope,
or of the user-specific variables also in individual files independently of the project file.

INFORMATION
All device-specific settings of the drive system are stored in the servo amplifier
with the help of the function SAVE Parameters, which can be called up in the
navigation area of the device-specific ECOSTUDIO® window under Administration.

The following user specific settings are stored in an ECOSTUDIO® project file (ending .epr):

■ Connection settings, i.e. used communication interface, baud rate, etc.

■ Settings with respect to the used mechanics, created in the wizard „mechanical configuration“
■ Configuration of the oscilloscope, i.e., selected measuring values, recording time, etc. (can also
be saved separately in a .cfo file)
■ Settings of the autoreverse mode (can also be saved separately in a .cfr file)
■ User defined variables, i.e. selection, assigned names, etc. (can also be saved separately in a
.cfu file)

Loading a project file

For loading a project file select File → Load Project in the menu bar. In the displayed dialog window
select the desired project file (appendix .epr). As an alternative, a project file can also be loaded by
drag & drop into the ECOSTUDIO® Master window.
