Disclaimer
Zaber’s devices are not intended for use in any critical medical, aviation, or military applications or situations where
a product's use or failure could cause personal injury, death, or damage to property. Zaber disclaims any and all
liability for injury or other damages resulting from the use of our products.
Precautions
The X-MCC controller is intended to drive a wide variety of Zaber peripheral devices. For most Zaber peripherals
(any with a part number ending in 'A'), connect the peripheral to automatically configure the settings. If your Zaber
peripheral does not end in 'A', simply set the
peripheral.id
(
T:66
) with the
peripheral's ID number
. See the
Protocol
Manual
for more information on how to modify the settings. Damage to the peripheral may result if the settings are
not correct.
WARNING
: Serious damage can occur to peripheral devices when operated with significantly higher-than-
rated current. The X-MCC controller can provide up to 6A of current to a peripheral.
BEFORE CONNECTING A
NEW DEVICE to the X-MCC controller, it is important to set the correct parameters in the controller or
ensure you are using an Auto Detect peripheral (Zaber device with a part number ending in 'A').
Please
check the rated current for any peripheral device before changing the current settings on the X-MCC from the
default values. If you have any questions, please contact
Zaber Technical Support
WARNING
: Instant stopping of a moving axis through the
axis knob
or
E-Stop
may result in damage to the
peripheral product and reduced lifespan. Use sparingly if the axis is under heavy load.
