Described in this chapter is how you establish communication with the controller and set the necessary parameters to make the motor ready for operation.
The Plug & Drive Studio software offers you an option for performing the configuration and adapting the motor parameters to your application. You can find further information in document Plug & Drive Studio: Quick Start Guide at us.nanotec.com.
Observe the following notes:
CAUTION:
- Moving parts can cause hand injuries.
- If you touch moving parts during running operation, hand injuries may result.
- Do not reach for moving parts during operation. After switching off, wait until all movements have ended.
CAUTION:
- In free-standing operation, motor movements are uncontrolled and can cause injuries.
- If the motor is unsecured, it can, e.g., fall down. Foot injuries or damage to the motor could occur.
- If you operate the motor free-standing, observe the motor, switch it off immediately in the event of danger and make certain that the motor cannot fall down.
CAUTION:
- Moving parts can catch hair and loose clothing.
- During running operation, moving parts can catch hair or loose clothing, which may lead to injuries.
- If you have long hair, wear a hairnet or take other suitable protective measures when near moving parts. Do not work with loose clothing or ties near moving parts.
CAUTION:
- Risk of overheating or fire if there is insufficient cooling.
- If cooling is insufficient or if the ambient temperature is too high, there is a risk of overheating or fire.
- During use, make certain that the cooling and ambient temperature conditions are ensured.
Note:
- EMC: Current-carrying cables – particularly around supply and motor cables – produce electromagnetic alternating fields.
- These can interfere with the motor and other devices. Nanotec recommends the following measures:
- Use shielded cables and earth the cable shielding on both ends over a short distance.
- Use cables with cores in twisted pairs.
- Keep power supply and motor cables as short as possible.
- Earth motor housing with large contact area over a short distance.
- Lay supply, motor and control cables physically separate from one another.
