1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Structure of the MPC-385-Series Documentation Package
The MPC-385-Series is a manipulator system comprised of the MPC-200 controller, the ROE-
200 input device and one or more MP-285/M stepper motor manipulators. The manual
consists of two parts, “Operations” that describes the functions of the MPC-200 controller
and ROE input device and “Setup” that describes how to install the MP-285/M mechanicals.
1.2 Components of the MPC-385 Series
Carefully remove all components from the shipping container. In addition to this manual, the
following should be included in each MPC-385 system:
1. MPC-385 (a single manipulator system):
 MPC-200 controller
 ROE-200 Rotary Optical Encoder input device
 MP-285/M manipulator mechanicals
 DB-25 cable (connects MP-285/M mechanicals to the controller).
 RJ-45 cable (8 conductor) connects the ROE to the controller
 RJ-12 cable (6 conductor) daisy-chains two MPC-200 controllers
 USB cable for computer control of the MPC-385 system
 Power cable appropriate for your location
 X285210 mounting adapter plates and hardware to attach mechanicals to their
mounting surfaces
 X285204 four-inch dovetail extensions for mounting headstages
 dovetail rod clamps
 2.5mm hex wrench(s) for removing the shipping screws
 1.5mm hex wrench(s) for adjusting pipette angle
2. MPC-385-2 (a two-manipulator system). Same as for the MPC-385, with the following
exceptions:
 Two MP-285/M manipulator mechanicals
 Two DB-25 cables (connect MP-285/M mechanicals to the controller).
 Two X285210 mounting adapter plates and hardware to attach mechanicals to their
mounting surfaces
 Two X285204 four-inch dovetail extensions for mounting headstages
 Two dovetail rod clamps
3. MPC-385-3 (a three-manipulator system). Same as for the MPC-385-2, with the following
exceptions:
 Two MPC-200 controllers
