The software provided includes a number of applications and utilities to allow you to configure,

tune and program the NextMove ESB. The Baldor Motion Toolkit CD containing the software

can be found separately within the packaging.

The NextMove ESB 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 ESB 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 20 in section 4.4.5.

To use USB, connect a USB cable between a PC USB port and the NextMove ESB USB

connector. Your PC must be using Windows 2000 or Windows XP.

You will need to install WorkBench v5 to configure and tune the NextMove ESB.

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\Baldor\MintMT,

although this can be changed during setup.

If you have followed the instructions in the previous sections, you should have now connected

the power sources, your choice of inputs and outputs, and a serial or USB cable linking the PC

with the NextMove ESB.
