Introduction

II
A Flex+Drive demonstration unit can be created by upgrading an existing Flex+Drive demonstration unit. The
upgrade kit provides the necessary parts to perform the upgrade.
An upgraded unit will not be identical to a new unit. Existing demonstration units incorporate a resolver motor;
correspondingly, the Flex+Drive
numbers FPHxxxxxx-Rxxx).

Dismantling the demonstration unit

Before dismantling the demonstration unit, inspect the layout of the cables and the way they have been clamped and
secured.
A.2.1

Removing the Flex+Drive

1. Ensure that all power has been removed from the demonstration unit for at least 5 minutes. This allows any high
voltages present on the Flex+Drive's power connector to dissipate.
2. Unplug all connectors from the front of the Flex+Drive, but do not remove any of the individual crimp connectors
from the 9-pin Phoenix connector (the power connector). Some D-type plugs may require a small screwdriver to
loosen the jack screw(s) before they can be removed.
3. Remove the earth bolt from the top of the Flex+Drive and disconnect the earth wire. Cut any cable ties that have
been used to secure cables to the drive.
4. Loosen the bolts attaching the Flex+Drive to the back plate of the demonstration unit. Remove the Flex+Drive.
5. The motor's nameplate will now be visible on the side of the motor. Write down the catalog number of the motor,
for example BSM50A175AA. The catalog number will be needed later.
A.2.2

Removing the motor resolver cable

When viewed from the front of the demonstration unit, the motor's resolver cable is connected to the left socket on
the motor, and is the thinner of the two motor cables.
1. Cut any cable ties that have been used to secure the resolver cable to the motor power cable or drive.
2. Unscrew the resolver connector by rotating its knurled collar.
3. Remove the resolver cable.
