5.1 Introduction

Before powering the NextMove BXII you will need to connect it to the PC using a serial cable and install the supplied PC software WorkBench v5. This software includes a number of tools to allow you to configure, tune and program the NextMove BXII. If you do not have experience of software installation or Windows applications you may need further assistance for this stage of the installation

5.1.1 Connecting the NextMove BXII to the PC

Connect the serial cable between a PC serial port (often labeled as “COM”) to the

NextMove BXII RS232 connector. WorkBench v5 can scan all the COM ports, so you can use any port.

5.1.2 Installing the software

The CDROM containing the software can be found separately within the packaging.

1.Insert the CDROM into the drive.

2.After a few seconds the setup wizard should start automatically. If the setup wizard does not appear, select Run... from the Windows Start menu and type

d:\start

where d represents the drive letter of the CDROM device (use the correct letter for your installation).

Follow the on-screen instructions to install WorkBench v5. The setup wizard will copy the files to appropriate folders on the hard drive. The default folder is C:\Program Files\Baldor\MintMT, although this can be changed during setup.

5.1.3Starting the NextMove BXII

If you have followed the instructions in the previous sections, you should have now connected all the power sources, your choice of inputs and outputs and the serial cable linking the PC with the NextMove BXII.

5.1.4 Preliminary checks

Before you apply power for the first time, it is very important to verify the following:

HDisconnect the load from the motor until instructed to apply a load.

HInspect all power connections for accuracy, workmanship and tightness.

HVerify that all wiring conforms to applicable codes.

HVerify that the NextMove BXII is properly earthed/grounded.

HCheck all signal wiring for accuracy.
