5.1.4 Preliminary checks
Before you apply power for the first time, it is very important to verify the following:
Disconnect the load from the motor until instructed to apply a load.
Inspect all power connections for accuracy, workmanship and tightness.
Verify that all wiring conforms to applicable codes.
Verify that the NextMove ESB-2 is properly earthed/grounded.
Check all signal wiring for accuracy.
5.1.5 Power on checks
If the status display shows one of the digits 0 - 7 with a flashing decimal point during startup,
this indicates that the NextMove ESB-2 has detected a fault - see section 6.
1. Turn on the 24 V control supply.
2. After a brief test sequence (
followed by
), the Status display should show the node
number, for example
, the factory default. If the display is not lit then re-check the
power supply connections.
5.1.5.1 Installing the USB driver
If you have connected the NextMove ESB-2 to the PC using the USB connection, it will be
necessary to install the USB driver. When the NextMove ESB-2 is powered, Windows will
automatically detect the controller and request the driver.
1. Follow the on-screen instructions to select and install the driver. The driver files are
available on the supplied Mint Motion Toolkit CD. If you are using a copy of the driver
located on the hard disk, a floppy disk or another CD, the driver files must all be in the
same folder.
2. During installation, Windows may report that the driver is ‘unsigned’. This is normal for
the NextMove ESB-2 driver, so click the Continue Anyway button to continue with the
installation. When installation is complete, a new Motion Control category will be listed in
Windows Device Manager.
The NextMove ESB-2 is now ready to be configured using Mint WorkBench.
Note:
If the NextMove ESB-2 is later connected to a different USB port on the host
computer, Windows may report that it has found new hardware. Either install the
driver files again for the new USB port, or connect the NextMove ESB-2 to the
original USB port where it will be recognized in the usual way.
