ELL10 Linear Stage Evaluation Kit Chapter 3: Installation Chapter 3 Installation Environmental Conditions Warning Operation outside the following environmental limits may adversely affect operator safety. Location Indoor use only Maximum altitude 2000 m Temperature range 15°C to 40°C Maximum Humidity Less than 80% RH (non-condensing) at 31°C To ensure reliable operation the unit should not be exposed to corrosive agents or excessive moisture, heat or dust. -
Page 8: Mounting
ELL10 Linear Stage Evaluation Kit Chapter 3: Installation Mounting Warning The safety of any system incorporating this equipment is the responsibility of the person performing the installation. Cautions Although the module can tolerate up to 8kV of air discharge, it must be treated as an ESD sensitive device. When handling the device, anti-static precautions must be taken and suitable discharge appliances must be worn. - Page 9 ELL10 Linear Stage Evaluation Kit Chapter 3: Installation Figure 2 ELL10 with MMP1 top plate fitted, showing stage in backwards/home position Figure 3 Fixing the ELL10 to the work surface 1. Slide the moving world to one end of travel to gain access to the mounting holes as shown above. 2.

ELL10 Linear Stage Evaluation Kit Chapter 4: Operation Chapter 4 Operation Getting Started Caution Although the module can tolerate up to 8kV of air discharge, it must be treated as an ESD sensitive device. When handling the device, anti-static precautions must be taken and suitable and discharge appliances must be worn. Do not expose the Stage to magnetic fields as this could affect the positioning and homing sensor operation. -
Page 11: Controlling The Stage
ELL10 Linear Stage Evaluation Kit Chapter 4: Operation Controlling the Stage The stage can be controlled in three ways; via the handset, by the Elliptec software running on a PC, or by writing a custom application using the messages described in the communications protocol document. Homing and Jogging functionality can also be accessed by applying voltages to the digital lines on Connector J1. -

Page 15: Frequency Search
ELL10 Linear Stage Evaluation Kit Chapter 4: Operation Frequency Search Due to load, build tolerances and other mechanical variances, the default resonating frequency of a particular motor may not be that which delivers best performance. A frequency search can be performed using the Main GUI panel in the ELLO software, or by using the serial communication line (SEARCHFREQ_MOTORX message), which offers a way to optimize the operating frequencies for backward and forward movement. -
