5.2 Starting the NextMove e 100
If you have followed the instructions in the previous sections, you should have now connected
the power sources, inputs and outputs and the USB, serial, or Ethernet cable linking the PC to the
NextMove
e 100.
5.2.1 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 e 100 is properly earthed/grounded.
H
Check all signal wiring for accuracy.
5.2.2 Power on checks
1. Turn on the 24 VDC control supply.
2. Within approximately 20-30 seconds or less, the test sequence should complete and the
Status LED should start to flash green. If the Status LED is not lit then re-check the power
supply connections. If the Status LED flashes red, this indicates that the NextMove
e 100 has
detected a fault - see section 6.
5.2.3 Installing the USB driver
If you have connected the NextMove e 100 to the PC using the USB connection, it will be
necessary to install the USB driver. When the NextMove e 100 is powered, Windows will
automatically detect the controller and request the driver. The driver consists of two files,
USBmotion.inf and USBmotion.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 may report that the driver is ‘unsigned’. This is normal for the
NextMove e 100 driver, so click the Continue Anyway button to continue with the installation.
When installation is complete, a new USB Motion Controller device will be listed in the
Universal Serial Bus controllers section of Windows Device Manager.
The NextMove e 100 is now ready to be configured using MMC and Mint WorkBench.
Note: If the NextMove e 100 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
e 100 to the original
USB port where it will be recognized in the usual way.
