Before You Begin
WARNINGS
The ZETA6xxx is used to control your system’s electrical and mechanical components.
Therefore, you should test your system for safety under all potential conditions. Failure to do
so can result in damage to equipment and/or serious injury to personnel.
Always remove power to the ZETA6xxx before:
•
Connecting any electrical device (e.g., motor, encoder, inputs, outputs, etc.)
•
Adjusting the DIP switches, jumpers, or other internal components
Recommended Installation Process
Electrical Noise Guidelines
•
Do not route high-voltage wires and low-level signals in the same conduit.
•
Ensure that all components are properly grounded.
•
Ensure that all wiring is properly shielded.
•
Noise suppression guidelines for I/O cables are provided on page 26.
•
Appendix D (page 63) provides guidelines on how to install the ZETA6xxx in a manner
most likely to minimize the ZETA6xxx’s emissions and to maximize the ZETA6xxx’s
immunity to externally generated electromagnetic interference.
1. Review the general specifications
2. Perform configuration/adjustments (if necessary)
3. Mount the ZETA6xxx
4. Connect all electrical system components
5. Test the installation
6. Match the motor to the ZETA6xxx — optional
7. Mount the motor and couple the load
8. Optimize performance (using the ZETA6xxx’s damping features) — optional
9. Record the system configuration (record on the information label and/or in a set-up
program)
10. Program your motion control functions. Programming instructions are provided in the
6000 Series Programmer’s Guide and the 6000 Series Software Reference. We
recommend using the programming tools provided in Motion Architect for Windows
(found in your ship kit). You can also benefit from an optional iconic programming
interface called Motion Builder (sold separately).
This chapter is
organized sequentially
to best approximate a
typical installation
process.
