C-863 Mercury Controller MS205Equ Version: 2.0.0 9
The output voltage on the Motor + and Motor - pins of the DC Motor only socket can
be as high as the supply voltage provided by the power supply. Stages without PWM
amplifier are connected to these pins and can be damaged by output voltage that is
too high.
Connect a power supply whose output voltage does not exceed the
permissible operating voltage of the stage.
Unsuitable settings made to the servo-control parameters of the C-863 can cause the
stage to oscillate. Oscillations can damage the stage and/or the load affixed to it.
Secure the stage and all loads adequately.
2.2.3 Safety Measures during Start-Up
When the system settings in the non-volatile memory are changed, the original
settings will be lost. Unfavorable settings can cause stage oscillation, worse settling
behavior and reduced positioning accuracy.
Only change the internal system settings for the C-863 in the non-volatile
memory when necessary.
Contact our customer service department (p. 91) if you are not sure whether a
change to the system settings is necessary.
Selecting an incorrect stage type in the PC software can cause damage to the stage.
Make sure that the stage type selected in the PC software matches the stage
connected.
2.2.4 Safety Measures during Operation
Unsuitable settings made to the servo-control parameters of the C-863 can cause the
stage to oscillate. Oscillations can damage the stage and/or the load affixed to it.
If the stage is oscillating (unusual operating noise), immediately switch off the
servo mode or disconnect the C-863 from the power source.
Only switch on the servo mode after you have modified the servo-control
parameter settings of the C-863; see "Optimizing Servo-Control Parameters"
(p. 64).
The collision of a moving part at the end of the travel range, or with an obstacle, as
well as high acceleration, can cause damage to or considerable wear on the
mechanical system.
Prevent motions in open-loop operation.
