Installation Requirements

  • Insert slot with power off
  • Shielded axis cables
  • Route encoder cables away from power cables
  • Grounding
  • Temperature 0 °C to +50 °C
  • Configure axis parameters after power-up
  • Jog at low speed before enabling drives

Precautions

  • Power off before board insertion
  • Axis parameters match motor
  • Do not over-bend encoder cables
  • Verify limit switch function
  • Store spares in anti-static packaging
  • Wear ESD wrist strap
