| Fixes |
Cut to Length Sequence Template: Corrected bug
where motion profile created by the 'Cut to Length' template
is non-continuous in the decel ramp when the decel rate and/or
decel jerk value are different from the accel rate and/or accel
jerk value. |
| Dongle: Corrected intermittent dongle check error
for Windows configured for some Eastern European locales where
the dongle is not found even though a local dongle is connected,
or a network license is available. |
| Corrected belt tensile load calculation for the
Conveyor mechanism at standstill when there is an incline angle
greater than zero and a counterbalance mass. |
| Print: Corrected position profile display in
Sequence chart, where the incorrect units conversion is applied
to the position motion profile. |
| Inertia Mass Calculator: When French language
is active, materials list was shown in German. |
| Gearbox Database: Corrected issue where gearboxes
with ratios with decimals are sometimes not found |
| Friction Coefficients form: Corrected bug where
coefficients table is loaded using points for decimals even
though the Windows locale specifies commas for decimals. Then
when a specific value such as '0.08' is selected, the value
applied in the input field is '8' because points are considered
thousands separators and not decimals in European locales. Now
the table is loaded correctly such that the value '0,08' is
displayed in the table as well as in the input field when selected. |
|
| 2.8.179 |
Sep 22, 2008 |
Enhancements
|
Added support for additional language options - French, Italian,
Spanish, Turkish and Chinese. The additional languages are not
part of the standard license, but can be ordered separately.
The new languages are for all aspects of the program except
the installation and help file, which are in English and German
only. more » |
| Rack and Pinion: Image changes when 'Rack is stationary' is
checked. The new image clarifies exactly where the thrust load
is applied, and where the Load is located. more » |
Gearbox Shaft Loads form:
Added the calculated
Max and Mean Tilting Moments at the gearbox input and output
Added the Rated Max Axial and Radial Loads and Tilting
Moments, both at the input and output. |

System Check:
Added a warning messages if
Infeed, Drive and Motor components are from different suppliers.
"Drive and Motor vendors are different.
Confirm interface with vendors."
"Shared
bus and Infeed/Drive vendors are different. Confirm interface
with vendors."
Added warning message if
motor continuous torque at standstill results in a gearbox nominal
output torque
that is higher than its rated nominal
output torque.
"Gearbox nominal
output torque could be exceeded if available motor continuous
torque is applied" |
| Vendors form: Added new column, 'Total Records', which includes
the number of records for each vendor in each table. |
| Help: Added Cycle Time help file page explaining 'Auto' and
'Manual' cycle time more » |
Gearbox Database:
Added message box when duplicate
entries found.
Added support for selecting STÖBER
PA or PHA gearboxes. Problem was duplicate Models but with different
Vendors - in this case, STÖBER and SDI. Now duplicate
Models are permitted, so long as the Vendor-Model
combination is unique.
For F2Rmax, F2Amax, F1Rmax
and F1Amax, added the application required variable and value
to the values
drop down list
For
reduction ratio, i, added a drop down list of ratios. |
Added 5 more Gearbox nominal torque implementation types (TNTyp):
3 = Dwell, Exp=3, T2N>T2n always
4 = Dwell, Exp=10/3, T2N>T2n always
5 = No dwell, Exp=3, T2N>T2n if ED>EDcont
6 = Dwell, Exp=10/3, T2N>T2n if ED>EDcont
7 = No dwell, Exp=10/3, T2N>T2n if ED>EDcont |
Database v2.8.12 August 12, 2008:
Updated / added STÖBER gear products (total
of 9,500+ products)
Corrected missing bearing data PH10
Updated missing F2R for all PH gearboxes
Deleted duplicate gearboxes with wrong ratio
Set TNTyp value from 0 to 3 where:
0 = Dwell, Exp=3, T2N>T2n if ED>EDcont
3 = Dwell, Exp=3, T2N>T2n always
Added gearboxes with MT adapter - vendor = SDI
(Stober Drives Inc in the United States)
Added all right-angle planetary gearboxes to database
(PKX, PK, PHKX, PHK)
Changed old line of planetarys PH(A)912 / PH(A)923
/ PH(A)1012 / PH(A)1023
to new line PH(A)932 / PHV(A)933 / PH(A)1032 / PHV(A)1033
Added latest PH "Quattro" products to
database (PHQ / PHQA)
Corrected denisity of Hardened Steel from 15,000
kg/m3 to 7861 kg/m3
Added WITTUR motors (10 in total) to the database
including the DUM and DGM series motors |
|
| Fixes |
System Check: The gearbox output shaft axial
to radal load ratio (F2am/F2rm) message is displayed even when
the F2Am/F2Rm check ratio is zero. Now the Gearbox "F2am/F2rm
ratio exceeded" message is only displayed when the ratio
exceeds F2Am/F2Rm ratio, and the F2Am/F2Rm ratio is not equal
to zero. |
| Gearbox Output Bearing Lifetime Lh210 value should
be zero when the gearbox k2 and p2 values are zero. |
| System Check: Corrected message where Infeed
supply number of phases is set to 1, and the Infeed module requires
3 phases. Message incorrectly read "Infeed supply requires
1 phase" when it should have read "Infeed supply requires
3 phases" |
| Print Slider Crank: Corrected bug where
the number '21617' was displayed instead of the text 'Start
angle at crank'. When 'Motion profile is defined
at the Crank (rotary)', the sequence chart uses rotary units
but displays linear load profiles (linear position, velocity
and accel). Should display the rotary profiles in this case.
|
| When Cycle Time is shortened in Manual mode,
the Duty Cycle can be > 100%, which does not make sense.
Now if Duty Cycle is calculated > 100%, the Duty Cycle is
set to 100%. |
| Sequence form: Create a Rotary Knife template.
Then switch to E-Stop mode, and open the Sequence, and then
try and open the single blank segment, and then an error occurs. |
| Sequence form: Corrected scenario when a sequence
contains over 520 segments, and the Thrust values of the sequence
are not applied correctly. |
| Database Utility: Corrected 'Unknown Error' problem
when the Source database contains an empty table. |
| Trial Version Activation: Corrected bug on some
systems where an error occurs when the program attempts to creatre
the Trial License Request Code. |
|
| 2.8.155 |
May 19, 2008 |
Enhancements
|
Created New Product, ServoSoft TS, which allows ServoSoft
to run in a Windows Terminal Server and allow remote users to
run ServoSoft TS without any software installed on their
PC. ServoSoft TS is specifically designed for Vendors and
Distributors, with many customizable options, and a database
that is limited to the vendor's products. more » |
| Added 'Parabolic' motion profile type. Applies to Moves, Segments
and Sequence Templates (Cut to Length, Flying Shear, and Rotary
Knife) more » |
| Added display of the active database path in the bottom status
panel on Main form, when the database path is not the default
path |
Gearbox Database:
Added Gearbox filter Req_T2n,
which is the gearbox required nominal output torque
Added
Gearbox filter Req_n2m, which is the gearbox required mean output
speed
Added Gearbox condition n1N, the gearbox
rated input speed, which is effectively the rated output
speed times the reduction ratio (n2N*i) |
| Rotary Motor Database: Added 'GB_d1max' filter that allows
the filtering of motors whose shaft will fit into the selected
gearbox. |
| Add the following inertia units: oz-in², lb-ft²,
lb-in² |
| Add the following density units: lb/ft³, oz/ft³ |
| If a single axis supply is already selected at 460V, and then
the user switches to a shared bus configuration, previsouly
the supply voltage defaulted to 400V. Now the program is smarter
and defaults to the non-zero minimum supply voltage of all axes. |
| Added database operator 'Not Like' which allows filters to
exclude all or portions of certain variables. For example, say
a user wants to search for STÖBER gearboxes, but only wants
to look at Pxxx reducers, and exclude the PAxxx reducers. This
is not possible using the 'Like' operator with the filter -
Model Like 'P%', as this returns Pxxx and PAxxx reducers. With
the 'Not Like' operator, it is now possible by specifying Model
Not Like 'PA%', which only returns the Pxxx reducers. |
| Vendors form: When in Edit mode, the Active column remains
visible. Makes adding and activating multiple vendors much more
efficient. |
|
| Fixes |
Print: Dual Stage Conveyor table data goes beyond
the bottom of the page for PDF, Word, HTML, BMP, JPG and EMF |
| Print: If two or more instances of ServoSoft
are running with Print Preview, then the instance which ran
Print Preview last overwrites the page image files in the Print
cache folder. |
| Transformation: User makes input changes, then
clicks 'Apply'. Then if 'Cancel' is clicked, the inputs that
should have been saved previously are lost. |
| Vendors form: When in Edit mode, corrected a
number of bugs when the user adds one or more vendors and then
deletes one or more vendors, and then adds one or more vendors
again. |

Enhancements
|
Added the following STÖBER products:
P,
PA, PH & PHA series planetary gearboxes (1464 in total)
ED & EK series motors (54 in total)
POSIDRIVE
® MDS series drives (10 in total) |
| Added MAYR Smartflex 932 series couplings (152 in total) |
| Added Beckhoff 3500 series motors (10 in total) |
| Updated several existing products in the database with the
latest product data, with typically increased rated values |
| Added support for a new drive type 'Infeed/Inverter/IntExtBleeder',
which is a drive configuration that has its own internal chopper
and resistor, and also allows an external resistor to be connected
to the drive's internal chopper. more » |
| Added "Rack is Stationary" option and "Pinion
Mass" input to the Rack and Pinion mechanism, which allows
users to easily define a Car/Carriage using the Rack and Pinion
mechanism. |
| Added gearbox load cycles/hour to main form. Note load cycles
means reversing load, not turning direction. |
| Sequence form: Added 'Group' feature to drop down list, that
allows the user to group 4 individual segments into one move.
more » |
Export Sequence to ASCII: more »
Added 'Profile Type' and 'Accel Start' columns to
allow the exporting and importing of sequences with CAM profiles.
Previously, only S-Curved profiles were supported.
Added
'Copy to Clipboard' so that the user now has a choice to export
the data to an ASCII text file or copy the data to the Clipboard. |
Import Sequence from ASCII: more »
Added 'Paste from Clipboard' button so that the
user now has the option to import the data from an ASCII text
file or paste the data from the Clipboard. This is especially
useful for creating complex sequences in Excel, and then copying
them and pasting them directly into the Import Sequence form.
When importing TimeVsPosition or TimeVsVelocity,
the start velocity of the first segment was always assumed to
be 0. Now, the program determines the appropriate Start Velocity
of the first segment. |
| Linear Motor Mechanism: Added 'Total travel distance' and
'Min length of secondary' to the Main form performance values. |
System Check:
Added message, "Field
weakening is applied to the motor", informing the user
if field weakening is required by the application. Only applies
to rotary synchronous servo motors.
Added check
for Linear Motor if the motion sequence distance exceeds the
'Total Travel Distance' input in the drive mechanics form. If
exceeded, the message "Total travel distance exceeded"
is displayed. |
| When opening the External Bleeder database, if the current
Bleeder is a 'Resitors' type, then both 'Chopper + Resistors'
and 'Resistors' types are listed. Ie. The program no longer
forces the 'Chopper + Resistors' filter for External Bleeders
when a 'Resistor' type is already chosen. |
| Added Print Selection to Print Dialog, where the user can
now select any combination of pages to print. more » |
| Bill of Material form: Added support for column sorting |
| Expanded the Help file pages on Exporting ASCII files and
Importing ASCII files, including the newly added columns 'Profile
Type' and 'Accel Start'. |
| Added Help page for Printing. |
|
| Fixes |
Minimum Encoder Count calculation was multiplied
by a factor of 2. This has been changed to a factor of 1. |
| Sequence Form: If the first step is a segment,
and the second step is a move, and the move is deleted, the
entire sequence is deleted. |
|

Enhancements
|
Added Infeed bus power rating chart based on input voltage.
Now ServoSoft adjusts the Infeed effective rated power based
on the specified supply voltage. |
| Enhanced Infeed Pxt and Inverter Ixt overload models by adding
the "Overload cycle time" (tOLC) database variable,
which now enables ServoSoft to precisely model overload rise
and decay times over the entire sequence. more » |
| Added Infeed Pxt, Inverter Ixt and Motor I2t limits, instead
of using 100% as the deffault maximum allowed. So now, if the
Pxt Margin is 10%, then an alarm message is generated in SystemCheck
when the Pxt value > 90%. |
| Added Bleeder duty cycle (ED%) vs power charts |
| Enhanced interface including Windows XP skin, toolbar and
other components |

when Move/Segment form is opened, if either the in-position
window or traverse position are not zero, the in-position frame
is also displayed. |
| Added Infeed RMS Power calculation, to help users size infeed
cables, filters, fuses, etc. based on the RMS power. |
| Increased list of Most Recent Projects under the File menu
from 4 to 8. |
| Added support for motors with Delta windings. Applies to both
Rotary and Linear Motors. In previous versions, all motors were
Star wound motors. |

Speed charts explaining each profile in the chart. |
|
| Fixes |
Belt and Pulley mechanism and transformation:
"Drive pulley" and "Driven pulley" German
translations were reversed. |
| Slider Crank: Corrected calculation for Min and
Max linear position when inputting data in the mechanics form. |
| Slider Crank: If the position profile is beyond
the fully retracted or fully extended positions, chart errors
in the Sequence form would occur. This has been corrected, and
the crank velocity and acceleration are forced to zero. An alarm
message is also reported in SystemCheck. |
| Slider Crank: Slider friction coefficient was
not being saved with the project. |
| Gearbox TorqueVsSpeed Chart: Corrected the ED%
display along the XScale when the scale units are other than
the base unit. |
| Gearbox Shaft Loads: Corrected bug for Input
and Output Shaft "X2" units. The values were not being
converted correctly when units were changed, and then the form
was closed (by clicking "OK"), and then reopened. |
| On startup, if database file is not found, Options
form opens, and even if the user changes the path to a valid
database, when the user clicks OK, the form closes and the programs
shuts down, instead of starting up. |

| Fixes |
Power Calculations for multi-axis shared bus
systems: Braking power calculation is too high (conservative)
when one or more axes is motoring while other axes are braking
at the same time in the cycle. The motoring power is added to
the braking power, resulting in higher braking power values
for Bleeders. The motoring power should have been subracted
from the braking power. |
