5.1.4 Preliminary checks
Before you apply power for the first time, it is very important to verify the following:
H
Disconnect the load from the motor until instructed to apply a load.
H
Inspect all power connections for accuracy, workmanship and tightness.
H
Verify that all wiring conforms to applicable codes.
H
Verify that the NextMove ESB is properly earthed/grounded.
H
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 has detected a fault - see section 6.
1. Turn on the 24V 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 to the PC using the USB connection, it will be
necessary to install the USB driver. When the NextMove ESB is powered, Windows (2000 or
XP only) will automatically detect the controller and request the driver. The driver consists of
two files,
baldorusb.inf and baldorusb.sys . Both files must be present for installation.
1. Follow the on-screen instructions to select and install the driver. The driver files are available
on the supplied Baldor Motion Toolkit CD. If you are using a copy of the driver located on the
hard disk, a floppy disk or another CD, the two driver files must be in the same folder.
2. During installation, Windows XP may report that the driver is ‘unsigned’. This is normal for the
NextMove ESB driver, so click the Continue Anyway button to continue with the installation.
When installation is complete, a new Baldor USB device will be listed in the
Universal Serial
Bus controllers section of Windows Device Manager.
The NextMove ESB is now ready to be configured using WorkBench v5.
Note: If the NextMove ESB 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 to the
original USB port where it will be recognized in the usual way.
