2.4. SOFTWARE
INSTALLATION
OMS provides Windows DLL’s. For other operating systems please contact OMS Motion, Inc., refer to
Appendix B.
For Windows NT, XP & 2000
After applying power and communication connections to the MAXnet controller, apply
power to the host PC and insert the software support disk or CD-ROM supplied by OMS or
download the software from the OMS website
installation instructions found in README.TXT or README.DOC. The instructions will
show you how to properly install the appropriate DLL.
To begin communicating with the MAXnet, systems that require console application can
run the MAXnEcom.exe (Ethernet) or MAXnScom.exe (RS-232) utility. Systems that prefer
GUI applications can run OMSuite.exe. You can begin interactively sending commands
and receiving responses immediately if all has been properly installed. If the board has
been configured with something other than the default communication parameters, then
the appropriate command line switches need to be entered along with the command. For
example:
MAXnEcom /I:<IP Address> /P:<port number>
or
MAXnScom /b:<baud rate> /P:<comm port>
or
OMSuite.exe
(Select the communication parameters from the “Boards” drop-down menu.)
Type WY and observe the response from the MAXnet. If you are communicating to the MAXnet it would
return its version number, number of axes, FPGA version number, etc. You should receive a reply similar
to “MAXn-5000, Ver: x.xx, S/N: 000001, FPGA:20” from the MAXnet. If you receive nothing, double
check that the MAXnet communication and power cables are firmly seated and that communications have
been properly configured (see
). For technical support, refer to
information.
2.5.
CONNECT TO STEPPER MOTOR SYSTEM
The MAXnet control signals are located on the J1 connector. This section will explain how to connect a
stepper motor driver to the controller board.
Begin this procedure with a MAXnet controller board connected to your system. Be sure that
communication to the board has been established. This can be checked by issuing a WY command to
the board and verifying that the board responds with its model type and revision levels (i.e. MAXnet-4000
ver 1.00 S/N 0000).
NOTE: Reference section
Once communication has been established with the controller, shut down the system and turn power off
to the controller board.
NOTE: It is not recommended to continue with the hardware connection if communication has
not been established.
