SAFETY NOTICE!

Position control systems are inherently hazardous. Even a small motor, if
coupled to a leadscrew, gearbox, or any other form of mechanism that
provides a mechanical advantage, can generate considerable force and
could cause serious injury. Incorrect operation can also lead to damage to
the motor or associated machinery. It is essential that the purpose of the
various fault detection features built into the

SimStep’s

PM600 controller be

fully understood and used correctly.
