Supplemental installation instructions for LVD-compliance are provided in Appendix C.
5. Test the installation — see pages 27-29
6. Match the motor to the ZETA6xxx (OPTIONAL) — see pages 30-32
7. Mount the motor and couple the load — see pages 33-35
8. Optimize system performance (OPTIONAL)
by implementing Active Damping and Electronic Viscosity — see pages 36-39
9. Record your system configuration information — see pages 40-41
Program Your Motion Control Functions
You should now be ready to program your ZETA6xxx for your application. Knowing your
system’s motion control requirements, refer now to the 6000 Series Programmer’s Guide for
descriptions of the ZETA6xxx’s software features and instructions on how to implement them
in your application. Be sure to keep the 6000 Series Software Reference at hand as a reference
for the 6000 Series command descriptions.
For assistance with your programming effort, we recommend that you use the programming
tools provided in Motion Architect for Windows (found in your ship kit). Additional powerful
programming and product interface tools are available (see below).
Motion Architect
Motion Architect
®
is a Microsoft
®
Windows™ based 6000 product programming tool
(included in your ship kit). Motion Architect provides these features (refer to the Motion
Architect User Guide for detailed information):
• System configurator and code generator: Automatically generate controller code for
basic system set-up parameters (I/O definitions, feedback device operations, etc.).
• Program editor: Create blocks or lines of 6000 controller code, or copy portions of
code from previous files. You can save program editor files for later use in BASIC, C,
etc., or in the terminal emulator or test panel.
• Terminal emulator: Communicating directly with the ZETA6xxx, you can type in and
execute controller code, transfer code files to and from the ZETA6xxx.
• Test panel and program tester: You can create your own test panel to run your
programs and check the activity of I/O, motion, system status, etc. This can be
invaluable during start-ups and when fine tuning machine performance.
• On-line context-sensitive help and technical references: These on-line resources
provide help information about Motion Architect, as well as access to hypertext versions of
the 6000 Series Software Reference and the 6000 Series Programmer’s Guide.
