Start-Up
The PIMikroMove PC software is recommended
for initial start-up. With PIMikroMove, you can
temporarily or permanently adjust the settings
of the controller to the stage and start the first
motion.
CAUTION
If a protective earth conductor is not or
not properly connected, touching the
controller can result in minor injuries
from electric shock in the case of a
malfunction.
X
Connect the controller to a protec-
tive earth conductor before start-up.
X
Do
not
remove the protective earth
conductor during operation.
X
Observe the applicable standards
for the protective earth conductor
connection.
Requirements
✔
You have read and understood the PIMi-
kroMove manual and the general notes on
start-up. The software manuals are on the
controller CD.
✔
You have installed and updated the soft-
ware on the PC.
✔
You have installed the stage and the
controller as they will be used in your
application.
✔
You have connected the protective earth
conductor, stage, PC, and power supply to
the controller.
✔
If you have connected the controller to the
network or PC via the TCP/IP interface:
▪
▪
Network with DHCP server
: No ad-
justment of the factory settings of the
interface parameters is necessary.
▪
▪
Network without DHCP server or
with direct connection
(controller
connected directly to the Ethernet
connection of the PC):
▪
▪
The start-up behavior of the con-
troller must be changed so that the
controller uses a static IP address (see
manual).
▪
▪
The IP addresses and subnet masks
of the controller and PC or all other
network devices must be compatible
with each other (see manual).
✔
If available: You have set the DIP switches
of the controller according to your applica-
tion. A controller that is not an integral part
of a daisy chain network must have address
1, if it is to be used in PIMikroMove.

General Safety Instructions
Intended Use
The controller is a laboratory device as defined
by DIN EN 61010-1. It is intended for indoor use
and use in an environment that is free of dirt,
oil, and lubricants.
In accordance with its design, the controller
is intended for the closed-loop operation of
stages. In addition, it can read and process the
reference point and limit switch signals from
the stage connected.
The controller may only be used in compliance
with the technical specifications and instruc-
tions in this user manual. The user is responsi-
ble for process validation.
The controller may not be used for purposes
other than those mentioned in the user manual.
The controller may only be installed, operated,
maintained, and cleaned by authorized and
appropriately qualified personnel.
Installation
Unsuitable cables can cause damage to the
controller and can affect the performance of
the stage.
X
Only use original PI parts to connect the
stage to the controller.
X
If you need longer cables, use extension
cables from PI.
Start-Up
The collision of a moving part at the end of the
travel range, or with an obstacle, as well as high
accelerations, can cause damage to or consi-
derable wear on the stage.
X
Avoid motion in open-loop operation
or stop the axes in time. Do
not
disable
evaluation of the limit switches via the
parameter setting.
Unsuitable servo-control parameter settings of
the controller can cause the stage to oscillate.
Oscillations can damage the stage and/or the
load affixed to it.
X
If the stage is oscillating (unusual operating
noise), immediately switch off the servo
mode or the controller.
X
Only switch on the servo mode for the axis
on the controller after you have modified
the servo-control parameter settings (see
manual).
X
If, due to a very high load, oscillations occur
already during the reference move, follow
the instructions in the manual for the refe-
rence move in „Troubleshooting“.
