How it applies
- Engineering: Amplifier and motor are selected as a matched pair with the vendor's sizing tools; the network interface must fit the controller.
- Commissioning: Parameters, tuning and encoder settings are made with the vendor's software and saved with the machine's configuration.
- Documentation: Mitsubishi Electric calls the drive a "servo amplifier"; other vendors say "servo drive". Keep the vendor's term when quoting device documentation and your own term elsewhere, and record both in the terminology database. List exact model codes in the parts list. For translation and localization, keep the product name unchanged in every language and record it in the terminology database as a do-not-translate term.
Keep in mind: Product names, series and features change. Check them against Mitsubishi Electric's current documentation before naming specific models.
