What’s Next?
By now, you should have completed the following tasks, as instructed earlier in this chapter:
1. Review the general specifications — see page 3.
2. Mount the OEM6250 — see page 4.
3. Connect all electrical system components — see pages 5-21.
EMC installation guidelines are provided in Appendix B (page 47).
4. Test the installation — see pages 22-23.
5. Mount the motor and couple the load.
6. Tune the OEM6250 (see Servo Tuner User Guide or Appendix A for instructions).
Program Your Motion Control Functions
You should now be ready to program your OEM6250 for your application. Knowing your
system’s motion control requirements, refer now to the 6000 Series Programmer’s Guide for
descriptions of the OEM6250’s software features and instructions on how to implement them
in your application. Be sure to keep the 6000 Series Software Reference at hand as a reference
for the 6000 Series command descriptions.
For assistance with your programming effort, we recommend that you use the programming
tools provided in Motion Architect for Windows (found in your ship kit). Additional powerful
programming and product interface tools are available (see below).
Motion Architect Motion Architect ® is a Microsoft ® Windows™ based 6000 product programming tool
(included in your ship kit). Motion Architect provides these features:
• System configurator and code generator: Automatically generate controller code
for basic system set-up parameters (I/O definitions, feedback device operations, etc.).
• Program editor: Create blocks or lines of 6000 controller code, or copy portions of
code from previous files. You can save program editor files for later use in BASIC, C,
etc., or in the terminal emulator or test panel.
• Terminal emulator: Communicating directly with the OEM6250, you can type in
and execute controller code, transfer code files to and from the OEM6250.
• Test panel and program tester: You can create your own test panel to run your
programs and check the activity of I/O, motion, system status, etc. This can be
invaluable during start-ups and when fine tuning machine performance.
• On-line context-sensitive help and technical references: These on-line
resources provide help information about Motion Architect, as well as access to hypertext
versions of the 6000 Series Software Reference and the 6000 Series Programmer’s Guide.
