Start-Up
This chapter is intended to enable you to start initial test motions of a stage that is connected to a
E-727 in the PIMikroMove PC software.
The start-up should comprise the following steps in the given order:
Starting the system in PIMikroMove (p. 51): Installation, power-on, communication
between E-727 and PC in PIMikroMove, configuration of PIMikroMove
Creating backup file for controller parameters (p. 53)
Executing test motions in open-loop operation (p. 54): First test of the function
General Notes on Start-Up
CAUTION
Risk of electric shock if the protective earth conductor is not connected!
If a protective earth conductor is not or not properly connected, dangerous touch voltages can
occur on the E-727 in the case of malfunction or failure of the system. If touch voltages exist,
touching the E-727 can result in serious injury or death from electric shock.
Connect the E-727 to a protective earth conductor before start-up (p. 48).
Do not remove the protective earth conductor during operation.
If the protective earth conductor has to be removed temporarily (e. g. in the case of
modifications), reconnect the E-727 to the protective earth conductor before starting it up
again.
NOTICE
Damage to the stage and the load from oscillations!
Unsuitable settings of the notch filter and the servo-control parameters of the E-727 can cause
the stage to oscillate. Oscillations can damage the stage and/or the load affixed to it.
If the stage is oscillating (unusual operating noise), immediately switch off the servo mode or
disconnect the E-727 from the power source.
Only switch on the servo mode after you have modified the settings of the notch filter and the
servo-control parameters of the E-727; see „Adjusting the Notch Filter(s) in Open-Loop
Operation“ (p. 136) and "Checking and Optimizing the Servo-Control Parameters" (p. 140).
