Answer: Use preset control modes, utilize external control devices, use manual control devices such as potentiometers or knobs, preset control software or APP.

Answer analysis: Controlling servo motors without programming usually relies on preset control methods or external control devices, which may not require users to directly write complex program code. Here are some possible methods:

1. Use preset control modes

Many servo motors and drives support preset control modes, such as position control, speed control, and torque control. These modes can be triggered by simple parameter settings or external signals (such as voltage, current, or pulses).

Position control: By sending a certain number of pulse signals to the servo drive, the servo motor can be controlled to rotate to a specified position. This method usually does not require programming, only the parameters of the pulse generator, such as the total number of pulses and pulse frequency, need to be set.

Speed ​​control: The speed of the servo motor can be controlled by inputting analog quantities (such as voltage or current) into the servo drive. Similarly, this method does not require complex programming, and speed control can be achieved by simply adjusting the value of the analog quantity.

2. Use external control devices

In the absence of programming capabilities, external control devices (such as PLC, touch screen, dedicated controller, etc.) can be used to control the servo motor. These devices usually have an intuitive operating interface and preset control programs, and users can control the servo motor through simple settings or operations.

PLC (Programmable Logic Controller): PLC is a control device widely used in the field of industrial automation. It can control the servo motor through simple logic programming. However, if a preset control program is used or the external input/output function of the PLC is used, the servo motor can also be controlled without writing a complex program.

Touch screen: The touch screen is usually used in conjunction with PLC or other controllers to provide an intuitive operating interface. Users can send control signals to the servo motor through buttons, sliders and other controls on the touch screen to control it.

3. Use manual control devices such as potentiometers or knobs

In some application scenarios, manual control devices such as potentiometers and knobs can be used to directly control the speed or position of the servo motor. This method is usually suitable for occasions where the control accuracy is not high and manual adjustment is required.

4. Preset control software or APP

Some servo motor manufacturers or third-party software developers provide preset control software or APP, through which users can control the servo motor. These software or APPs usually have a friendly user interface and simple operation mode, and users can control the servo motor without writing program code.

Notes

* When controlling the servo motor without programming, make sure that the control method and equipment used meet the specifications of the servo motor and drive.

* Before performing any control operation, carefully read the manual or instruction manual of the servo motor and drive to ensure that the relevant functions are correctly understood and used.

* If you need to implement more complex control logic or improve control accuracy, you may need to consider using programming methods to control the servo motor.

In summary, although there may be certain limitations in controlling the servo motor without programming, basic control of it can still be achieved through preset control modes, external control devices, manual control devices, or preset control software/APP.
