2.1
Unpacking the System
The DSM314, Digital Servo Amplifiers, and Motors are packed separately. This section
describes how to unpack the hardware and perform a preliminary check on the
components.
2.1.1
Unpacking the DSM314
Carefully unpack the DSM314 and host controller system components. Verify that you have
received all the items listed on the bill of material. Keep all documentation and shipping
papers that accompanied the DSM314 motion system.
2.1.2
Unpacking the Digital Servo Amplifier
There are two digital amplifier and servo subsystem packages shipped for use with the
DSM314, the
Series or the
Series.
The digital servo amplifier is shipped in a double-layered box. Remove the top layer of
packing material to uncover the amplifier. Next, carefully remove the inner box from the
outer layer. Then lift the amplifier out of the inner box. Retain any loose parts or gasket
materials packed with the amplifier. Visually inspect the amplifier for damage during
shipment.
Note:
Do not change any pre-configured jumpers or switches on the amplifier at this time.
2.1.3
Unpacking the Motor
Motors are packed two different ways, depending on their size. The largest motors are
shipped on wooden pallets and are covered with cardboard. Most motors, however, are
packed in cardboard boxes.
1.
Unpacking Instructions:
—
For those motors packed in boxes, open the box from the top. The motors are
packed in two pieces of form-fitted material. Carefully lift the top piece from
the box. This should allow sufficient clearance for removing the motor.
—
If the motor is attached to a pallet, remove the cardboard covering. This allows
access to the bolts holding the motor to the pallet. Remove the bolts to free
the motor from the pallet.
2.
Inspect the motor for damage.
3.
Confirm that the motor shaft turns by hand.
Note:
If the motor was ordered with the optional holding brake, the shaft will not turn until the brake is
energized.
