Note: If the red LED (D4) near the center of the NextMove ES remains illuminated, then the supply voltage is too low. See section 7.2.2 for LED locations. If the status display shows one of the digits 0 - 7 with a flashing decimal point, this indicates that the NextMove ES has detected a fault and cannot be started. In this unlikely event, please contact Baldor technical support.
6.1.5.1Installing the USB driver
If you have connected the NextMove ES to the PC using the USB connection, it will be necessary to install the USB driver. When the NextMove ES is powered, Windows (2000 or XP only) will automatically detect the controller and request the driver. The driver consists of two files, baldorusb.inf and baldorusb.sys. Both files must be present for installation.

2.During installation, Windows may report that the driver is ’unsigned’. This is normal for the NextMove ES driver, so click the Continue Anyway button to continue with the installation. When installation is complete, a new Baldor USB device will be listed in the Universal Serial Bus controllers section of Windows Device Manager.
The NextMove ES is now ready to be configured using WorkBench v5.
Note: If the NextMove ES is later connected to a different USB port on the host computer, Windows may report that it has found new hardware. Either install the driver files again for the new USB port, or connect the NextMove ES to the original USB port where it will be recognized in the usual way.
