Session 2: How to set up, program and configure a machine?

In this video, learn how to set up, program, and configure a machine with your motion controller through easy plug-and-play.

1. Make sure MachineMotion is off during this process

2. Connect the drive cable into the Drive 1 port

3. Connect E-stop module and reset to the safety IN port on the controller

4. Connect a safety jumper to the safety IN port on the E-stop module

5. Connect the servo motor cable to the servo motor's junction box labelled "DRIVE"

6. Connect the end-stop sensor cable to the actuator's end-stop sensor

7. Connect the end-stop sensor cable to the servo motor's junction box labelled "SENSOR A"

8. Connect the sensor cable to the actuator's end-stop sensor

9. Connect the other end of the sensor cable to the servo motor's junction box labelled "SENSOR B"

10. Connect the brake with a safety relay to the motor junction box

11. (Optional) Add a black jumper to any unused sensor port

12. Connect the pendant and controller using the pendant cable; if you do not have a pendant, connect a yellow safety jumper to the pendant port

13. Plug in power

14. When the MachineMotion has completed booting up, it will default to an E-stop state

15. Click "Release" and "Reset" on your controller's interface to unlock access to the control center; this state requires the user to release the E-stop and click the software reset in the Control Center

16. Configure the axis

You're good to go!
