5. In the Terminal Emulator, type VER. If the Ethernet is set up correctly,
the terminal emulator reports the firmware version information for the
ACR90x0. For troubleshooting Ethernet connections, see page 99.
USB Cable Specification
The ACR90x0 USB configuration uses a “standard detachable cable”
(twisted-pair shielded) with a Series A connector at one end, and a Series B
connector at the other end.
USB Connection
The USB (Universal Serial Bus) port is located on the front panel of the
ACR90x0. (For specifications, see USB Connector on page 61.)
NOTE: Parker Hannifin does not provide USB cables.
Windows 98SE, Windows 2000 or Windows XP
To connect the ACR90x0 USB port to Windows 98SE, 2000, or XP follow
these steps:
1. Connect the ACR90x0 to your PC using a standard USB cable.
2. The PC should find the new hardware. Run the
New Hardware Wizard.
3. Select
Search for a suitable driver for my device (recommended),
and click
Next.
4. Select the
Specify Location check box, and click Next.
5. Insert the ACR SDK disc into the CD-ROM drive.
6. Click
Browse. Navigate to the following subdirectory on the ACR SDK—
\Drivers\USB Win98-2K-XP. Click
OK, and complete the New Hardware
Wizard
.
NOTE: The ACR9040 can experience intermittent USB communications that
are caused by ground loops, or by power surges occurring when
connecting the USB cable. (This occurs with certain combinations of
power supplies and computers.)
If this occurs:
• When using an isolated 24 VDC power supply, such as Parker’s
PS-60W, jumper the 24 V return/ground to Earth ground, and
• Use a USB hub between the host PC and the ACR9040.
Auxiliary Encoder Connection
The ACR9000 and ACR9030 controllers provide an interface for additional,
non-drive-related encoder signals. The 2/4 Axis Configuration provides one
auxiliary encoder interface; the 6/8 Axis Configuration provides two. The
connector is on the front panel of the unit, labeled E
NCODER 8 and/or 9. For
the specifications of E
NCODER 8 and ENCODER 9 connectors, see “Auxiliary
Encoder Connector” on pages 46 and 47.
For information on single-ended encoders, see page 86.
