2.7.1. DR500 Power Up

To safely power up the DR500, properly connect all drive modules and cables to the
DR500 before turning on the chassis. Likewise, always turn the system off before
removing any cables from the DR500 chassis. Locate the system serial label in the upper
left corner of the DR500 rear panel. This label contains important information such as:
This part number includes the required AC input voltage. The AC input voltage is
determined by the following letters:
For example, the DR500S-4-A-80/ specifies a 115 VAC input.
A combination power switch/circuit breaker is located on the front of the DR500. This
breaker is connected to the incoming AC power and provides protection for to the DR500
system in case of overloads. This breaker is selected to meet the current requirements of
the DR500 system and is normally either a 5 amp or 10 amp breaker.
The external +5 volt connections are fused by 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 conditions are 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 form the front panel.
The DR500 also provides external +12 volt supply connections for some requirements.
The Misc I/O connector pin 21 (user supply) is normally connected to +12 volts. Some
DR500 systems may use +12 volts for the limit switch supply (special requests /
requirements). The DR500 can also provide an external +24 volt output for brake
applications. The +24 volt Brake Output is only provided with the Brake Option.
