Purpose of This Guide
This document is designed to help you install and troubleshoot your ZETA6xxx hardware
system. Programming related issues are covered in the 6000 Series Programmer’s Guide and
the 6000 Series Software Reference.
"ZETA6xxx" Nomenclature
The nomenclature "ZETA6xxx" is used in this documentation to indicate the higher power
versions of the ZETA6000 Indexer Drive, the ZETA6104-240, the ZETA6108 and the
ZETA6112. Any information that refers to the ZETA6xxx is applicable to all three higher power
versions.
In older versions of the 6000 Software & Programmers Guides as well as the older versions
of the Motion Architect software, references are made to the ZETA6104 or "6104". These
references are equally applicable to the higher power versions of the ZETA6xxx series.
What You Should Know
To install and troubleshoot the ZETA6xxx, you should have a fundamental understanding of:
• Electronics concepts, such as voltage, current, switches.
• Mechanical motion control concepts, such as inertia, torque, velocity, distance, force.
• Serial communication and terminal emulator experience: RS-232C and/or RS-485.
