Verifying Correct System Operations
with a 6K Controller
1. Verify that the drive is enabled. (Left LED is illumi-
nated green; right LED flashes yellow/green during
autorun.)
2. Verify that the motor is rotating clockwise at approxi-
mately one revolution per second, as viewed from the
shaft end of the motor. (The motor is turning because
earlier you configured the drive for autorun.)
3. From Motion Planner, issue the following command:
• DRIVE0 (disable the drive)
• For the 6K to read and react to a GT fault, enter the
command DRFEN1 for each axis.
4. End the Motion Planner session with the 6K by closing
the terminal and the editor.
Proceed to Reconfiguring the Drive, below.
Verifying Correct System Operations
without a 6K Controller
1. Enable the Gemini drive by connecting a jumper
between pin 1 and pin 2 on the 50 pin DRIVE I/O
connector. (For connector diagrams, see
Appendix A
Specifications
.)
2. Verify that the drive is enabled. (Left LED is illumi-
nated green; right LED flashes yellow/green during
autorun.)
3. Verify that the motor is rotating clockwise at approxi-
mately one revolution per second, as viewed from the
shaft end of the motor. (The motor is turning because
earlier you configured the drive for autorun.)
Proceed to Step 3 of Reconfiguring the Drive,
below.
Verifying Correct System Operations
Choose one of the columns below, based upon which controller you are using—6K or non-6K—and follow the
procedure to verify correct system operations.
Reconfiguring the Drive
1. Connect the null modem cable from the PC to the drive’s RS-232/485 connector.
2. In Motion Planner, establish communications with the Gemini drive:
• Select File/New/Terminal Emulator/OK.
• Under Communications/Settings, select the GT.
3. Issue a DMODE6 command to configure the drive for step/direction mode.
This completes the Express Setup procedure.
