Initial power up sequence
Incorrectly wired or configured vehicles may behave in unexpected ways.
Checks prior to power up
Follow this checklist prior to applying power to your system:
• Confirm all connections are tightened to specified level.
• Ensure all plugs are fully inserted.
• Confirm power wiring connections are made to the correct terminals
(B+, B-, +, M1, M2 and M3).
• Ensure the controller is securely mounted (from a mechanical and thermal perspective).
• Check the routing of cables is safe with no risk of short circuit, overheating or cable insulation wear
due to rubbing.
Checks after power is applied
Apply power and do the following:
• Use DVT (see page 42) or any configuration tool to complete the configuration process which starts
on page 49.
• Using the drive controls ensure the wheels rotate in the expected direction. If they do not, check the
motor wiring, encoder wiring and encoder configuration (page 51).
