6.1 Introduction

The software provided includes a number of applications and utilities to allow you to configure, tune and program the NextMove ES. The Baldor Motion Toolkit CD containing the software can be found separately within the packaging.

6.1.1 Connecting the NextMove ES to the PC

The NextMove ES can be connected to the PC using either RS232 or RS485 (model dependent), or USB (all models).

To use RS232 or RS485, connect an appropriate serial cable between a PC serial port (often labeled as “COM”) and the NextMove ES Serial connector. If you are using an intermediate RS232 to RS485 converter, connect this as specified by the manufacturer. WorkBench v5 can scan all the PC’s COM ports, so you can use any port. If you are not using the Baldor serial cable CBL001-501, your cable must be wired in accordance with Figure 15 in section 4.5.5.

To use USB, connect a USB cable between a PC USB port and the NextMove ES USB connector. Your PC must be using Windows 2000 or Windows XP.

6.1.2 Installing WorkBench v5

You will need to install WorkBench v5 to configure and tune the NextMove ES. Any previous version of WorkBench v5 must be uninstalled before proceeding with this installation:

1.Insert the CD 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 CD device.

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

6.1.3Starting the NextMove ES

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