Important!

Do not attempt to run ACR-MOTIONMAX attached to your machine until you have
completed the following tests in AcroBasic!
Disconnect all ServoMotors from any leadscrews or mechanism in case of axis runaway for t he initial
setup phase.
Test Emergency Stop Circuitry & OverTravels
Emergency Stop Must Stop all Axis’s & (Spindle/Laser if equipped)
OverTravels Must Stop all Axis’s & (Spindle/Laser if equipped)
Set And Confirmed Encoder Resolutions and Multipliers
Phased the Motors Directionally
Set Axis Gains and can control Motors at the AcroView Command Line.
Duplicate the Encoder PPU / Gains Setting to the Parameters.Cfg file for ACR-MOTIONMAX
Important!
When handling OverTravels, most drives have 3 enables to aid in stopping an axis, Drive Enable,
Forward Enable and Reverse Enable.
Never simply cut main power to the drive in case of Emergency Stop or OverTravel.
Most Drives use Regenitive braking that is disabled if you cut power to the Drives.
If you simply cut the Power to the Drives they will just coast to zero speed and may destroy an Axis.
Instead of stopping the Machine in a Controlled Manner using the drives Internal Braking Pow er.
The idea here is ��If your Amp can’t stop your Axis in a Controlled Manner, The Amp is to Small to
Control your Axis at Full Speed Accurately”.

Always Wire the OverTravels & Estop System into the Drive Enables as shown
