5.1.4 Preliminary checks
Before you apply power for the first time, it is very important to verify the following:
H
Inspect all power connections for accuracy, workmanship and tightness.
H
Verify that all wiring conforms to applicable codes.
H
Verify that the NextMove ST is properly earthed/grounded.
H
Check all signal wiring for accuracy.
5.1.5 Power on checks
1. Turn on the Logic supply (if separate from the Drive supply).
2. Turn on the Drive supply.
3. 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. A green surface mount LED (D16) near the center of the control card
should also be flashing once every two seconds. The NextMove ST is now ready to be
configured using WorkBench v5.
Note: If the red LED (D4) near the center of the control card remains illuminated, then
the supply voltage to the NextMove ST control card is too low. See section 6.2.2
for LED locations. If the status display shows one of the digits 0 - 7 with a flashing
decimal point, this indicates that the NextMove ST has detected a fault. In this
unlikely event, please contact Baldor technical support.
5.1.5.1 Installing the USB driver
If you have connected the NextMove ST to the PC using the USB connection, it will be
necessary to install the USB driver. When the NextMove ST 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 should be in the same folder.
2. During installation, Windows may report that the driver is ‘unsigned’. This is normal for the
NextMove ST 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 ST is now ready to be configured using WorkBench v5.
Note: If the NextMove ST 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 ST to the original
USB port where it will be recognized in the usual way.
