By now, you should have completed the following tasks, as instructed earlier in this chapter:
1. Check the ship kit to make sure that you have all the items (see page 3).
2. Review the general specifications table (see page 4).
3. (optional) Set internal DIP switches for using the “RS-232/485” connector as an RS-
485 serial port (default function is RS-232 and configured for connection to an RP240).
4. Mount the 6K controller (see page 6).
5. Connect all electrical system components (see pages 8-29).
Installation instructions for the EVM32 expansion I/O are provided on page 43.
6. Test the installation (see page 30).
NEXT …
1. Mount the motors and/or couple the loads.
2. Tune any servo axes. Use the tuning facility in Motion Planner (see page 51).
AND FINALLY …
After completing all necessary hardware installation tasks, you are ready to program your
motion control functions. Knowing your system’s motion control requirements, refer now to
the 6K Series Programmer’s Guide for descriptions of the 6K’s software features and
instructions on how to implement them in your application. Be sure to keep the 6K Series
Command Reference at hand as a reference for the 6K Series command descriptions.
For assistance with your programming effort, we recommend that you use the programming
tools provided in Motion Planner for Windows (found in your ship kit).
