1.9.15 Host Ethernet Connector (J13)
The following table details the Host Ethernet Connector (J13), which is provided with Ethernet host interface
N-Series ION DKs. This connector is a female RJ-45.
1.10 Enabling the N-Series ION
The N-Series ION must receive an active Enable signal to drive the motor. This is usually accomplished via a short
jumper wire connecting the
Enable
signal on the Motion Signals Connector (J6) to ground. See Section 1.9.3.1,
“Enabling the Board,” for details.
1.11 Applying Power
Once you have made your motion hardware, communication, and power connections, hardware installation is
complete and the N-Series ION is ready for operation. When power is applied, the N-Series ION’s green power LED
should light. This LED is labeled D24 in
Figure 1-4 . If the LED does not light, recheck connections.
After power up no motor output will be applied. Therefore the motors should remain stationary. If the motors move
or jump, power down and check the motor and encoder connections. If anomalous behavior is still observed, call PMD
or your PMD representative for assistance.
1.12 First-Time System Verification
The first time system verification procedure summarized below has two overall goals. The first is to connect the N-
Series ION with your PC so that they are communicating properly, and the second is to initialize the axis and bring it
under stable control capable of making controlled moves. While there are many additional capabilities that Pro-Motion
and N-Series IONs provide, the first time verification will create a foundation for further successful exploration and
development.
Here is a summary of the steps that will be used during first time system verification. Each of these steps will be
described below in a separate section.
1 Initiate Pro-Motion and establish communication between the PC and the N-Series ION using the serial
3-pin programming cable.
2 Run Pro-Motion’s Axis wizard to initialize parameters such as encoder direction and safe servo
parameters (if using a servo motor).
