DR300 Operation and Technical Manual

2.7.1. DR300 Power Up

To safely power up the DR300, properly connect all drive modules and cables to the
DR300 before turning on the power. Likewise, always turn the system off before
removing any cables from the DR300 chassis. Locate the system serial label on the left
side of the DR300 rear panel. This label contains important information such as:
•
the customer order number (please provide this number when calling
customer service)
•
the drawing number
•
the system part number.
This part number includes the required AC input voltage. The AC input voltage is
determined by the following letters:
•
A = 115 VAC
•
B = 230 VAC
•
C = 100 VAC
•
D = 208 VAC.
For example, the DR300R-A-80-40 specifies a 115 VAC input.
Before connecting the DR300 to its power source, compare the desired input power
to the required input power indicated by the system part number.
A combination power switch/circuit breaker is located on the front of the DR300. This
breaker is connected to the incoming AC power and provides protection to the DR300
system in case of severe overloads.
requirements of the DR300 system and is normally either a 5 amp and 10 amp breaker.
The external + 5 Volt connections are fused by a re-settable fuses located on the interface
board. These fuses protect the system should a fault or overload condition occur with the
optical encoders, joystick, I/O bus, or Misc. I/O connectors. This fuse will reset itself
when the overload condition is removed (power may also need to be turned off to reset
the fuse). In addition to this fuse, each drive module has a safety fuse. To access the
safety fuse, unscrew the module from the front panel.
The DR300 also provides external +12 Volt supply connections for some requirements.
The Miscellaneous I/O connector pin 21 (User Supply) is normally connected to +12
Volts. Some DR300 systems may use +12 Volts for the limit switch supply (Special
request / requirements). The DR300 can also provide an external +24 Volt output for
Brake applications. The +24 Volt Brake output is only provided when the Brake option is
used.
