Purpose of This Guide
This document is designed to help you install and troubleshoot your APEX615n hardware
system. Programming related issues are covered in the 6000 Series Programmer's Guide and
the 6000 Series Software Reference.
“APEX615n” Synonymous with “615n”
The APEX615n product is often referred to the as the “615n” because it is part of the 6000
family of products. The APEX615n's software and the 6000 Series software documentation
(e.g.,
6000 Series Software Reference) refer to this product as the “615n.”
What You Should Know
To install and troubleshoot the APEX615n, you should have a fundamental understanding of:
• Electronics concepts, such as voltage, current, switches.
• Mechanical motion control concepts, such as inertia, torque, velocity, distance, force.
• Serial communication and terminal emulator experience: RS-232C and/or RS-485
