C-863 Mercury Controller MS205Equ Version: 2.0.0 23
NOTICE
Incorrect wiring!
Connecting the USB and RS-232 interfaces of the controller to the PC at the same
time can damage the PC or the controller.
Connect either the USB or the RS-232 interface to the PC.
NOTICE
Oscillations!
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.
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).
If, due to a very high load, oscillations occur already during the reference move,
follow the instructions for the reference move in "Troubleshooting" (p. 85).
The aim of quick start is to start in the PIMikroMove PC software initial test motions of
a stage that is connected to a non-networked C-863.
1. Install the following on the PC:
− the PC software and the USB drivers from the product CD
− updates for PC software and PIStages2.dat stage database
− if provided separately by PI: custom stage database(s)
Details see "Installing the PC Software" (p. 29).
2. Connect the C-863 via screw designated with the ground connection symbol
to the grounding system (p. 34).
