Terminating Resistor
To eliminate noise on the transmission lines a terminating resistor may need to be used. If needed
the termination resistor need only be added to the last (furthest from the converter box) controller
in the network. A termination resistor with a value of 120 ohms is needed in certain conditions;
when using a 4000ft. or longer cable and a baud rate of 38400 or when using a 2000ft. or longer
cable and a baud rate of 57600. If you need to add a terminating resistor, contact the factory for
the exact location on the board.
Status LED (Controller)
When powered and operated properly, the status LED will green. When an error occurs, the LED
will change to RED and an error code will be generated in the error code register. To read and
clear the error with the software, click on the “Verify Parameters” button located in the “Motion
Tab”. To read and clear the error while in “Direct Mode” use the ! command. Once the error has
been read and cleared, the LED will return to green and the error code register will be cleared.
Refer to the table in section 5 for a list of the error codes.
