Pre-installation Adjustments — Optional Factory Settings May Be Sufficient (if so, skip this section) • DIP Switches (Device Address Selection; Autobaud Feature): Device address is set to zero. : If you are connecting NOTE multiple units in a daisy-chain or multi-drop, you can automatically establish the device address by using the ADDR command, thereby eliminating the need to access the internal DIP switches.
Mounting the 6200 Before you mount the 6200 Check the list below to make sure you have performed all the necessary configuration tasks that require accessing internal components (DIP switches and jumper JU2). • Select device address (DIP switches). If you are not connecting multiple 6200 units in an RS-232C daisy chain, use the factory setting.
Electrical Connections To install the 6200 so that it is LVD compliant, refer also to the supplemental instructions in Appendix A (page 29). Appendix B (page 31) provides guidelines on how to install the 6200 in a manner most likely to minimize the 6200’s emissions and to maximize the 6200’s immunity to externally generated electromagnetic interference.

Lengthening I/O Cables Bear in mind that lengthening cables increases noise sensitivity. (The maximum length of cables is ultimately determined by the environment in which the equipment will be used.) If you lengthen the cables, follow the precautions below to minimize noise problems. •...
Testing the Installation WARNING This test procedure allows you to control I/O and produce motion. Make sure that exercising the I/O will not damage equipment or injure personnel. We recommend that you perform these tests with the motor uncoupled from the load; however, if you leave the motor coupled to the load, make sure that you can move the load without damaging equipment or injuring personnel (and be ready to use the emergency stop switch or...

Troubleshooting Basics When your system does not function properly (or as you expect it to operate), the first thing that you must do is identify and isolate the problem. When you have accomplished this, you can effectively begin to resolve the problem. The first step is to isolate each system component and ensure that each component functions properly when it is run independently.
Common Problems & Solutions N O T E Some software-related causes are provided because it is sometimes difficult to identify a problem as either hardware or software related. Problem Cause Solution Communication 1. Improper interface connections or 1. See Troubleshooting Serial Communication section below. (serial) not operative, communication protocol.
1. Power up the computer or terminal and launch the terminal emulator. 2. Power up the 6200. A power-up message (similar to the following) should be displayed, followed by a prompt (>): ∗PARKER COMPUMOTOR 6200 - 2 AXIS STEPPER CONTROLLER ∗RP240 CONNECTED >...
Problem Remedy (based on the possible causes) No Response • COM port not enabled for 6000 language communication. Issue the “PORT1” command and then the “DRPCHKØ” command. • Echo may be disabled; enable with the ECHO1 command. • Faulty wiring. See instructions on page 7. Also check for shorts or opens. •...
