Purpose and Contents of this Manual
This manual is a user guide for the OMNIDRIVE. It gives you an overview of the OMNIDRIVE family
and describes the procedures you use to install, setup, use, and troubleshoot the OMNIDRIVE.
This manual provides instructions on how to setup and connect the OMNIDRIVE to a controlling device
and a motor. A OMNIDRIVE can operate in one of several different functional modes. The hardware
connections necessary to run the drive are detailed in this manual and basic software instructions are
provided for common setup procedures. For detailed explanation of software instructions, refer to the
comprehensive online instructions available in the OMNI LINK software.
The instructions in this manual detail how to install your OMNIDRIVE using OMNI LINK software with
a personal computer. If you are using a TouchPad device, abbreviated command titles are displayed but
the setup steps remain the same. If you are using the serial Host Command Language to control the drive,
comprehensive instructions are accessible through the Host Command Reference icon displayed in the
OMNI LINK window.
This manual is organized into numbered chapters and alphabetical appendices. The topics covered in each
chapter and section are briefly described. Typographical conventions, warning and cautions specific to
