6 Start-Up
L-738 / V-738 Precision XY Stage
MP183E
Version: 1.1.2

INFORMATION
The maximum velocity for an L-738.0511xx should be determined in the application. If the
commanded velocity is too high, the stepper motor might stop without the controller detecting
this state.
INFORMATION
The repeatability of the positioning is only ensured when the reference point switch is always
approached from the same side. Controllers from PI fulfill this requirement as a result of the
automatic direction sensing for reference moves to the reference point switch.

Starting Up the Stage
Requirements
You have read and understood the general notes on start-up (p. 27).
For starting up with a load or in a multi-axis system: You have properly installed the
stage (p. 17).
You have read and understood the user manual of the controller used.
You have read and understood the manual of the PC software used.
The controller and the required PC software have been installed. All connections on the
controller have been set up (see "Connecting the L-738 / V-738 to the Controller"
(p. 25) and the user manual of the controller).
Starting up the stage
1.
Start up the controller(s) (see user manual of the controller).
Configure the controller(s) during start-up using the PC software for the stage used (see
user manual of the controller, and the PC software): Select the entry in the stage
database that exactly matches the stage model used.
2.
Start a few motion cycles for testing purposes (see user manual of the controller
model).
6.2.1
L-738 / V-738 Entries in the Stage Database of PI
For PI controllers, you can select the connected stage from a stage database in the
corresponding PC software. The appropriate operating parameters are thus loaded to the
controller. You can find a detailed description in the user manual for the controller or in the
manual for the PC software used.
