Before You Begin
WARNINGS
The APEX615n 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 APEX615n before:
• Connecting any electrical device (e.g., motor, encoder, inputs, outputs, etc.)
• Adjusting the DIP switches, jumpers, or other internal components
Recommended Installation Process
This chapter is
organized
sequentially to best
approximate a typical
installation process.
1. Review the general specifications
2. Perform configuration/adjustments (if necessary)
3. Mount the APEX615n
4. Connect all electrical system components
5. Test the installation
6. Mount the motor and couple the load
7. Tune the APEX615n servo controller.
8. Program your motion control functions. Programming instructions are provided in the
6000 Programmer's Guide and the 6000 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).
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 33 and in Appendix B.
