TEST PROCEDURE.
85 - 240VAC
If you have a power source other than
85-240VAC, refer to Chapter 5 for
specifications on alternative input power.
Use the following procedure to test the 6250's power and RS-232C
connections. In Chapter 3, Installation, you will test the analog output, end-
of-travel and home limits, encoders, RP240, joystick, and programmable I/O.
Apply power to the 6250 by plugging the power cable into a grounded power
source.
The earth ground connection must be made by plugging into a grounded receptacle
or by physically connecting the green wire to earth ground.
Watch the LEDs on the 6250. The STATUS LED should be green, indicating the
6250 is ready for operation. The other two LEDs should be red because the
drives are not yet enabled with the DRIVE11 command.
If the STATUS LED is red, or if none of the LEDs illuminate, check your power
source and cable connections. If these connections seem correct, disconnect
power and consult Chapter 6, Troubleshooting.
If you are using the 6000 DOS Support Disk, go to the Set-up menu and move
the cursor down to CHECK OUT and press ENTER to automatically verify the
communication interface to the 6250.
If the interface is not successful (Device not Ready message will flash on the
screen), refer to the RS-232C troubleshooting procedures in Chapter 6,
Troubleshooting.
Initiate the terminal emulator in Motion Architect. You could also use your own
terminal emulator package.
Press the RETURN key. The cursor should move down one or two lines each
time you press the RETURN key. If the cursor does not move as described,
refer to the RS-232C troubleshooting procedures in Chapter 6, Troubleshooting.
