Software for Linear Stages
with Ultra3000 Drives
The following steps assume that the MP-Series linear stage and an Ultra3000
drive are installed and wired as one axis of a motion system.
1. Connect a serial cable model, catalog number 2090-DAPC-D09 xx, to the
CN3 connector on your Ultra3000 drive.
2. Apply AC input power to the Ultra3000 drive.
3. Establish communication with the Ultra3000 drive, and click Cancel when
the Ultra3000 motor database dialog box appears.
Clicking Cancel causes the Ultraware software to scan for online drives.
When a drive is found, an Online Drive icon will display in the Workspace.
4. Double-click the Online Drive icon to view the main Drive setup dialog
box.
5. Perform the action in the following table appropriate for your type of
linear stage:
Auto Motor Iden (identification) is enabled only for ball screw linear
stages. Auto Motor Iden remotely identifies the motor, and then populates
the model field with the appropriate motor information. Direct drive
linear stages do not interact with Auto Motor Iden, and the model field
data must be manually selected for the appropriate motor information to
load.
6. From the Displayed Units pull-down menu, choose User.
This programs Ultraware software to make distance moves in User Units
(mm or in.).
