With ECOSTEP®54 stepper motor amplifi er various types of stepper motors can be operated, among others the stepper motor series 17S und 23S of Jenaer Antriebstechnik GmbH. Technical data and regulations in this manual only refer to these motors. Technical data of the motors can be retrieved from the motor data sheets or from our homepage www.jat-gmbh.de.
User Manual ECOSTEP®54 Installation Mounting 5.1.1 Important notes Make sure that transport and storage did no damage to the units. Th e ambient air must not be polluted by dust, greases, aggressive gas etc. Eventually appropri- ate countermeasures have to be taken (installation of fi lters, frequent cleaning). Depending on the power losses an appropriate ventilation should be provided.
User Manual ECOSTEP®54 5.1.3 Assembly When mounting the ECOSTEP®54 into the cabinet cable clamps (contained in connector kit AMK40, cf. chap. 8) assure that the connecting cables are laid EMC conform by connecting the cable shield extensively to chassis earth.

Only qualifi ed personnel with a broad knowlege of the fi elds of electrical engineering, auto- mation and drives are allowed to commission the stepper motor amplifi er ECOSTEP®54. If required, Jenaer Antriebstechnik GmbH off ers trainings. Th e manufacturer of the machine must generate a hazard analysis for the machine and take appropriate measures to ensure that unforeseen movements cannot cause injury or damage to any person or property.
User Manual ECOSTEP®54 Work schedule commissioning 1. Check installation Th e stepper motor amplifi er is disconnected from the supply. Check the wiring for completeness, short cir- cuits and ground faults. For commissioning an RS232 connection via a 1:1 cable from socket X8 to COM1 or COM2 of a PC is required.

User Manual ECOSTEP®54 Glossary Baud rate Unit of measure for the transmission rate of data in serial interfaces. Th e baud rate indicates the number of possible changes of state of the transmitted signal per second (1 baud = 1 state change/s). Th e baud rate can be lower than the bit rate (one bit is coded in several signal states).
