Before You Begin WARNINGS The ZETA6xxx is used to control your system’s electrical and mechanical components. Therefore, you should test your system for safety under all potential conditions. Failure to do so can result in damage to equipment and/or serious injury to personnel. Always remove power to the ZETA6xxx before: •...
General Specifications Parameter Specification Power AC input............95-132VAC, 50/60Hz, single-phase (95-264VAC for ZETA6104-240) (refer to page 25 for peak power requirements, based on the motor you are using) Status LEDs/fault detection......Refer to Diagnostic LEDs on page 46 Environmental Operating Temperature ........32 to 113°F (0 to 45°C) Storage Temperature........
Changing the COM 2 Connector from RS-232 to RS-485 RS-232C Users The ZETA6xxx’s port is factory configured for RS-232C COM 2 communication (use the left-hand pin descriptions). If you do not need to use RS-485 communication, you may ignore this section and proceed to the Mounting instructions.
Mounting the ZETA6xxx Before you mount the ZETA6xxx Check the list below to make sure you have performed all the necessary configuration tasks that require accessing internal components (DIP switches, potentiometers, and jumpers). You may, however, be able to adjust DIP switches and pots after mounting, if you allow access to the top of the ZETA6xxx chassis. •...

Environmental Temperature. Operate the ZETA6xxx in ambient Considerations temperatures between 32°F (0°C) and 113°F (45°C). Provide a minimum of 1 inch (25.4 mm) of unrestricted air-flow space around the ZETA6xxx chassis (see illustration). The ZETA6xxx will shut itself down if its internal sensor reaches 122°F (50°C).
Electrical Connections To install the ZETA6xxx so that it is LVD compliant, refer also to the supplemental instructions in Appendix C. Appendix D provides guidelines on how to install the ZETA6xxx in a manner most likely to minimize the ZETA6xxx’s emissions and to maximize the ZETA6xxx’s immunity to externally generated electromagnetic interference.

RP240 Remote Operator Panel Input Power Peak Power Ratings The amount of power the ZETA Drive requires from your AC power source depends upon the motor you use, whether it is wired in series or parallel, and upon your specific application. The next table shows peak power requirements.
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 leave the motor uncoupled from the load, but if you have coupled the load to the motor, make sure that you can move the load without damaging equipment or injuring personnel.

Matching the Motor to the ZETA6xxx (OPTIONAL) Due to slight manufacturing variations, each motor has its own particular characteristics. In the procedure below, you will adjust three potentiometers (pots), to match your ZETA6xxx to your specific motor. You will also select the best current waveform to use with your motor. The ZETA6xxx’s pots are located behind the removable metal cover on top of the chassis.

Step 3 Run your motor at the resonant speed listed in the Offset Adjust column. Vary the speed slightly until you find the resonance point. To initiate motion, type these commands (followed by a carriage return) to the ZETA6xxx from the terminal emulator: MC1 (This command makes the motion run continuously until you issue a !S command.) (This command sets the velocity to n .
Mounting & Coupling the Motor WARNINGS • Improper motor mounting and coupling can jeopardize personal safety, and compromise system performance. • Never disassemble the motor; doing so will cause contamination, significant reduction in magnetization, and loss of torque. • Improper shaft machining will destroy the motor’s bearings, and void the warranty. Consult a factory Applications Engineer (see phone number on inside of front cover) before you machine the motor shaft.

Size 42 Frame, T Series Motor Temperature & Cooling The motor’s face flange is used not only for mounting; it is also a heatsink. Mount the face flange to a large thermal mass, such as a thick steel plate. This is the best way to cool the motor. Heat will be conducted from inside the motor, through the face flange, and dissipated in the thermal mass.
Optimizing System Performance (OPTIONAL) The ZETA6xxx is equipped with three damping circuits that minimize resonance and ringing, and thus enhance stepper performance: • Anti-Resonance – General-purpose damping circuit. The ZETA6xxx ships from the factory with anti-resonance enabled (see page 7 ). No configuration is necessary. Anti-resonance The ZETA6xxx provides aggressive and effective damping at speeds greater than 3 revolutions per second automatically...

3. Verify that the Active Damping Rotary Switch is at Zero 4. Calculate the Maximum Rotary Switch Setting To do this, first calculate your system inertia. Be sure to include the motor's rotor inertia. Then consult the table of inertia ranges below. Find the switch setting that corresponds to your system inertia.
6. Turn On Active Damping Turn the active damping rotary switch to position 1. This turns on active damping at its lowest setting, and disables anti-resonance. You can change the rotary switch setting "on the fly." You do not have to cycle power each time you change the switch setting.
Page 44
Step 2 Make a baseline move with EV disabled. This is your baseline move. Notice the sound, amount of motor vibration, perceptible ringing, etc. This move shows how your system operates with EV disabled. Each time you adjust the DELVIS setting (in steps 3 & 4), you will compare results against this baseline move.
Record Your Systems Configuration You may wish to record your configuration information in the chart ← COM port functions set with internal jumpers and the PORT and DRPCHK commands. ← RS-485 resistors are selected with internal DIP switches, or connected externally. Much of this chart is repeated, along with other facts, on the magnetic information label located on the side of the ZETA6xxx chassis.
Page 46
DAREN** Enable/disable anti-resonance. Anti-resonance is automatically inhibited at or below 3 rps, and it is inhibited if active damping is enabled. DAUTOS** Enable/disable automatic current standby mode in which current to the motor is reduced to 50% if no pulses are commanded for 1 second. Full current is restored upon the next pulse command.
Whats Next? By now, you should have completed the following tasks, as instructed earlier in this chapter: 1. Review the general specifications — see page 4 2. Perform configuration/adjustments, as necessary — see pages 7-8 3. Mount the ZETA6xxx — see page 9 4.

Product Return Procedure Step 1 Obtain the serial number and the model number of the defective unit, and secure a purchase order number to cover repair costs in the event the unit is determined by the manufacturers to be out of warranty. Step 2 Before you return the unit, have someone from your organization with a technical understanding of the ZETA6xxx system and its application include answers to the following questions:...
Appendix A R e s o n a n c e , R i n g i n g & D a m p i n g — D i s c u s s i o n & T h e o r y In this appendix we will discuss resonance and ringing in step motors.

Electronic Viscosity – Provides passive damping at Ringing is a transient phenomenon (unlike resonance, lower speeds. The ZETA6xxx ships with electronic which occurs during steady state operations).
Page 60
Anti-Resonance (AR) will then modify the motor current command to damp the ringing. Anti-resonance monitors the ZETA6xxx’s motor terminals, and looks at power exchange between the DIP switches on top of the ZETA6xxx set the amount of ZETA6xxx and motor. From this, it extracts information motor current during normal operations;...
