2.4.5 Connecting Stages

All ESP-compatible stages are electrically and physically compatible with
the UniDrive6000. ESP-compatible stages are recognizable by an ESP logo.
Stages which are not ESP-compatible do not have an ESP logo. If an ESP-
compatible motion system was purchased, all necessary hardware to
connect the stage with the UniDrive6000 is included. The stage connects
to the UniDrive6000 via a shielded custom cable that carries all power and
control signals (encoder, limits, and home signals). The cable is termi-
nated with a standard 25-pin D-Sub connector.
Make sure the UniDrive6000 and ESP6000 are powered off.
Position stage(s) on a flat, stable surface before connection to
Carefully connect one end of the cable to the stage and the other end to a
driver axis on the UniDrive6000 (see Figure 2.4-20). Secure both connectors
by tightening the thumbscrews. Refer to Appendix G, Factory Service to
order replacement cables (part number 52911).
