Front Panel Switches

Figure shows the front panel of your MID-7604/7602. The DIP switches are shown with the 
detachable metal cover plate removed.

MID-7604/7602 Front Panel

Note

Items followed by an asterisk (*) are available on the MID-7604 only.

The two rocker switches on the MID-7604/7602 front panel are the AC POWER and ENABLE. Figure 
shows the location of these switches.

The AC POWER switch energizes the motor bus (+24 V) and the logic (+5 V) power supplies. When 
switched on, the green power LED labeled 

+5 V

 illuminates. If this LED fails to illuminate, check the 

power cord and main input fuse on the front panel. 

The ENABLE switch enables or inhibits the stepper drivers. If the ENABLE switch is in the inhibit 
position (off), the stepper drivers are inhibited, and the yellow LEDs (the middle row of the LED status 
array) and red LEDs (the top row of the LED status array) illuminate for all axes. Refer to the 

Front 

Panel LEDs

 section of this guide for more information.

Note

In older versions of the MID-7604/7602, the red status LEDs do not illuminate when the 

yellow status LEDs illuminate. This behavior only occurs in newer versions of the MID-7604/7602.

Both the AC

 

POWER and ENABLE switches can inhibit the stepper drivers. However, as long as the 

AC

 

POWER switch is on, only the stepper driver output stages are disabled. The remaining circuitry 

remains active, including the quadrature encoder circuit.

Caution

You 

must

 change the MID-7604/7602 main input fuse on the front panel if you change the 

line voltage from the factory setting. Refer to the 

Specifications

 section of this guide for fuse
