Brick Motion Controller Hardware Reference Manual

RECEIVING AND UNPACKING

Delta Tau products are thoroughly tested at the factory and carefully packaged for shipment. When the Brick Motion Controller is received, there are several steps that should be performed immediately:

1.Observe the condition of the shipping container and report any damage immediately to the commercial carrier that delivered the drive.

2.Remove the control from the shipping container and remove all packing materials. Check all shipping material for connector kits, documentation, diskettes, CD ROM, or other small pieces of equipment. Be aware that some connector kits and other equipment pieces may be quite small and can be accidentally discarded if care is not used when unpacking the equipment. The container and packing materials may be retained for future shipment.

3.Verify that the part number of the unit received is the same as the part number listed on the purchase order.

4.Inspect the unit for external physical damage that may have been sustained during shipment and report any damage immediately to the commercial carrier that delivered the drive.

5.Electronic components in this product are design-hardened to reduce static sensitivity. However, use proper procedures when handling the equipment.

6.If the Brick Motion Controller is to be stored for several weeks before use, be sure that it is stored in a location that conforms to published storage humidity and temperature specifications stated in this manual.

Note:

If Ethernet communications are used, Delta Tau Systems strongly recommends the use of RJ45 CAT5e or better shielded cable.

Newer network cards have the Auto-MDIX feature that eliminates the need for crossover cabling by performing an internal crossover when a straight cable is detected during the auto-negotiation process.

For older network cards, one end of the link must perform media dependent interface (MDI) crossover (MDIX), so that the transmitter on one end of the data link is connected to the receiver on the other end of the data link (a crossover/patch cable is typically used). If an RJ45 hub is used, then a regular straight cable should be implemented.

Maximum length for Ethernet cable should not exceed 100m (330ft).
