3.8 Connecting the Stages
CAUTION
Never connect/disconnect stages while the ESP302 controller is
powered on.
CAUTION
Mount the stage(s) on a flat, stable surface before connecting to the
ESP302 controller.
• Power off the controller.
• Carefully connect the supplied cable to the stage and to the appropriate axis
connector at the rear of the controller. Secure both connections with the locking
thumbscrews.
The ESP302 controller is only intended to be used with Newport ESP-compatible stages
which are electrically and physically compatible. ESP-compatible stages are visually
identified with a blue “ESP Compatible” sticker on the stage. If an ESP-compatible
motion system was purchased, all necessary hardware to connect the stage with the
ESP302 controller is included. The stage connects to the ESP302 via a shielded custom
cable that carries all the power and control signals (encoder, limits, and home signals).
The cable is terminated with a standard SUB-D25 connector.
3.9 Configuring the Controller
• Power on the controller.
Shortly after the power is switched on, the ESP302 will perform a start-up sequence and
momentarily display: "Newport ESP302".
With ESP-compatible stages, the configuration of each axis is identified automatically
by the ESP302 at power up. See ESP302 User Interface Manual for more details.
