First Motion

Follow these steps to setup the controller and achieve initial motion.

Wiring

Connect the motor leads from your bipolar motor as shown on the label for Mtr 1. The Mtr 1 plug is the lower plug.


Wire a 24 volt power supply to the controller. The power plug is the upper plug. Supply return goes to the GND pin. Positive 24 volts goes to Logic Pwr, Mtr Pwr, and In Common.


Place a loopback cable as shown on the side connector. This satisfies the EStop circuit which is necessary to permit motion.


Apply power to the controller. The green "heartbeat" LED should start blinking after about 3 seconds . The heatbeat LED needs to be blinking before the controller will respond to software. If you encounter a problem the first question support will ask will likely be "Is the heartbeat LED still blinking? Was there any deviation to the blink pattern during the problem?".
