6.1 Introduction
Before powering the MotiFlex
e
100 you will need to connect it to the PC using a USB or Ethernet
cable and install the supplied
Mint Machine Center
software. This software includes a number of
tools to allow you to configure and tune the MotiFlex
e
100. If you do not have experience of
software installation or Windows applications you may need further assistance for this stage of
the installation.
6.1.1 Connecting the MotiFlex
e
100 to the PC
The MotiFlex
e
100 can be connected to the PC using either USB (recommended) or TCP/IP.
To use USB, connect a USB cable between a PC USB port and the MotiFlex
e
100 USB port. The
PC must be running Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7.
To use TCP/IP, connect a CAT5e Ethernet cable between the PC and one of the MotiFlex
e
100
Ethernet ports.
You cannot connect an ordinary office PC to the MotiFlex
e
100 without first altering
the PC’s Ethernet adapter configuration. However, if you have installed a second
Ethernet adapter dedicated for use with the MotiFlex
e
100, then this adapter’s
configuration can be altered without affecting the PC’s office Ethernet connection. If
you are unsure about making changes to your PC’s Ethernet adapter configuration,
or are prevented by user permission levels, ask your I.T. administrator to assist you.
If there is an EPL manager node (node ID 240) on the Ethernet network, then the
network will be operating in EPL mode. This means any TCP/IP connection from the
PC must pass through an EPL compatible router, e.g. Baldor part OPT036-501.
6.1.2 Installing Mint Machine Center and Mint WorkBench
You will need to install Mint Machine Center (MMC) and Mint WorkBench to configure and tune
the MotiFlex
e
100. Any previous version of Mint WorkBench must be uninstalled before
proceeding with this installation:
1. Insert the CD into the drive.
2. After a few seconds the setup wizard should start automatically. If the setup wizard does not
appear, select
Run...
from the Windows
Start
menu and type
d:\start
where
d
represents the drive letter of the CD device.
Follow the on-screen instructions to install MMC (including Mint WorkBench). The setup
wizard will copy the files to appropriate folders within the C:\Program Files folder, and place
shortcuts on the Windows Start menu.
