Auto setup

Description

To determine a number of parameters related to the motor and the connected sensors (encoders/Hall sensors), an auto setup is performed. Closed-Loop operation requires a successfully completed auto setup. With the Plug & Drive motors, it is not necessary to perform an auto setup, as this was already performed at the factory. For details, see the corresponding section in chapter Commissioning.
