Dover Motion DOF-5 Quick Start Guide for CAN Communication
This guide covers the basic steps for using a DOF-5 stage with Pro-Motion for basic control &
testing. See the DOF-5 User Guide for more information.
1)
The USB drive included with the stage has the following materials:
a.
41-1602 (IXAAT Driver Installation File)
b.
36105-01 (C-Motion Startup Guide & Examples)
c.
41-1114.pdf (DOF-5 User Guide)
d.
41-1212.pdf (DOF-5 Software Guide)
e.
41-1600.pdf (DOF-5 Quick Start Guide, CAN)
f.
######_Config.txt (Configuration File)
g.
FIR_SN_######.pdf (Final Inspection Report)
2)
Remove the shipping stop (See image)
3)
The User Guide (41-1114.pdf) and troubleshooting section 15)
below have information on the DIP switches for communications
setup.
a.
The DOF-5 ships with these switches pre-set per the order,
reference Final Inspection Report on USB drive for shipped
configuration.
4)
Mounting the stage for powerup
Note that these are calibrated stages, orientation and load matter!
a.
Attach the specified load to the stage (the objective, lens, etc.) or a dummy
mass.
Without the load stage will be unstable and/or buzz.
b.
Ensure the correct orientation, counterbalance at the top (See image) when
mounted vertically. Mount in a horizontal orientation if ordered without
counterbalance.
5)
If using IXAAT CAN Adapter, install IXAAT Drivers included on
USB (41-1602)
6)
If using Dover Motion supplied cabling (36102-00), connect cable
to stage and tighten retention screws. Connect cable to serial
communications adapter. With power supply powered OFF,
connect to 24V power supply. Turn power on.
7)
Download and install the Pro-Motion user interface from the provided USB
Install file is named: Pro-Motion5.20.exe. Note: The DOF requires Pro-Motion version 5.20 to work properly

resolution of the encoder you ordered. The resolution is
shown on page 1 of the FIR Test Report:
i.
5nm resolution encoders: 200000 counts/mm
ii.
1.25nm resolution encoders: 800000 counts/mm
