Installation and Hookup

Introduction

The IMC-S/234 provides four physical axes called Axis 0, 1, 2, and 3.
The IMC-S/232 provides two physical axes (Axis 0 and Axis 1), and
therefore only two servo amplifiers are required for this unit.
Connections for each axis are made to separate but identical connectors
on the top and bottom panels of the unit.

Pre-engineered cable assemblies are used for all connections to external
devices except the main AC power and the 24V DC I/O power, which
use pluggable terminal blocks. See Pre-Engineered Cable Assemblies
in the Introduction section of this manual for information on the
available assemblies. This section only describes connecting the
IMC-S/23x using the pre-engineered cable assemblies. If you are
making your own cable assemblies, refer to Appendix A for cable
wiring information.

Before attempting to use the IMC-S/23x, configuration switches inside
the unit must be set as required and the following connected:

AC mains power
24V DC power
Servo drives and feedback encoders
RS-232 or RS-422 terminal or computer

The following sections explain the setup of the internal configuration
switches and the specific connections required.

ATTENTION: Do not attempt to make any electrical
connections to the IMC-S/23x while power is connected!
Doing so risks damage to the IMC-S/23x, external
components, and your health!
