Configuration/Customization–Optional DIP Switch Settings Default Settings NOTE OEM-AT6400 PC Card Address = 300 Hex (768 Decimal) If you change the Address or Transfer Mode = 16-Bit Interrupt settings and you intend Interrupts Selected = None to use Motion Architect, be sure to configure the same settings in Motion Architect's Terminal or Panel Modules.
PC Card Installation Turn off the power to the computer. St ep 1 St ep 2 Remove the computer's cover to access the internal slots where peripheral cards are added. St ep 3 Remove the sheet metal bracket that covers the external access slot. Save the screw. On IBM AT and IBM AT-compatible computers, this is at the rear access panel where all external connections are made.

End-of-Travel and Home Limit Inputs N O T E S • Motion will not occur on a particular axis until you do one of the following: - Install end-of-travel ( & ) limit switches - Disable the limits with the LHØ command (recommended only if load is not coupled) - Change the active level of the limits with the LHLVL command •...
Trigger Connections TRG-x connected to GND (normally-open switches). The active level (default is active low) can be changed with the INLVL command. These inputs are like the general-purpose inputs. The differences are (1) the triggers are pulled up via the AUX-P pull-up terminal;...

I/O Cables Bear in mind that the length of the cables is directly related to noise sensitivity; lengthening cables increases noise sensitivity. The maximum length of cables is ultimately determined by the environment in which the equipment will be used. (The optional VM60 screw terminal includes a 5 foot long ribbon cable.) The input and output lines on the OEM-AT6400 are not optically isolated.
ENTER. If you changed the DIP switch (see page 4), type in the new address and press ENTER. The program displays this menu: Parker Compumotor's Motion and I/O Test Program 1. Limits 2. Pulse Cutoff (P-CUT) [Not applicable for OEM-AT6400] 3.
What's Next? By now, you should have completed this chapter's configuration, mounting, connection, and test instructions. You should be ready to begin developing your motion control program based on the 6000 Series programming language. Assuming you have already determined your system's motion control requirements and identified the OEM-AT6400 software features that you will use in your application, refer to your 6000 Series Programmer's Guide to learn how to implement these features.

Reducing Electrical Noise Refer to the guidelines on page 14 and in Appendix A. General information on reducing electrical noise can be found in the Engineering Reference section of the Parker Compumotor/Digiplan Positioning Control Systems and Drives Catalog. Diagnostic LED OEM-AT6400 After applying power, the LED will be off.
Motion Architect's Panel Module As an alternative to the test program noted above, you can use the Panel Module in Motion Architect. The Panel Module allows you to set up displays for the purpose of testing various system I/O and operating parameters. For more information, refer to the Motion Architect User Guide.

Common Problems and Solutions (continued) Problem C a u s e Solution LED: LED on OEM- 1. No power. 1. Check PC-AT power and check proper card installation in bus slot. AT6400 PC card is off. 2. Operating system not downloaded. 2.
Interrupt & Address Selection CAUTION Refer to your PC-AT's documentation to avoid interrupt and address conflicts, and the resulting possibility of system damage. If you are using Motion Architect and you change these settings, be sure to configure the same address and interrupt settings in Motion Architect's Terminal or Panel modules. Interrupts The OEM-AT6400 is factory configured with no interrupts selected.
