Before You Begin
Warning
— The 6K controller is used to control your system’s electrical and mechanical components.
Therefore, you should test your system for safety under all potential conditions. Failure to do so can result
in damage to equipment and/or serious injury to personnel.
Always remove power to the 6K controller before
Connecting electrical devices (e.g. drive, encoder, I/O brick, inputs, outputs, etc.)
