6.1 General Notes on Start-Up
CAUTION
Risk of crushing!
There is a risk of injuries from crushing between the moving parts of the hexapod and
a stationary part or obstacle.
Keep any part of your body away from areas where they can get caught by moving
parts.
NOTICE
Incorrect configuration of the hexapod controller!
The configuration data used by the hexapod controller (e.g. geometrical data and
servo-control parameters) must be adapted to the hexapod. If incorrect configuration
data is used, the hexapod can be damaged by uncontrolled motion or collisions. The
configuration data is adapted before delivery.
Check whether the hexapod controller matches the hexapod. A label on the rear
panel of the controller indicates for which hexapod the controller is intended.
Once you have established communication via TCP/IP or RS-232, send the
CST?
command. The response shows the hexapod to which the controller is
adapted.
Only operate the hexapod with a hexapod controller whose configuration data is
adapted to the hexapod.
